Why Booking a Meeting Room Will Impress Your Clients

Where you meet your clients is one of the most important aspects that determines how your company is perceived. You might be tempted to meet your clients at your home office, at your regular coffee shop, or maybe even at your start-up’s headquarters in your parents basement. Don’t.

What you need is to meet your clients in a setting that exudes professionalism, a space where they feel confident in doing business with you and most importantly a place that projects the right image for your business.

Booking a meeting room can take care of all of all of these concerns, but you definitely want to make the most out of this investment.

Here are a few tips for you to achieve just that:

• You should be able to book a meeting room easily and quickly through an app or phone call, this ensures that you are able to focus on planning the meeting itself.
• Your meeting would ideally take place in a well-known office building located in a major city. For example, the Willis Tower in Chicago or the Rockefeller Plaza Center in New York City. This lends credibility to your business and makes it easy for your clients to arrive.
• Once they arrive your clients would be welcomed and directed to the meeting room by a lobby greeter.
• The room, ideally, should be equipped with outstanding technology such as high-speed internet, high-tech presentation tools, an LCD monitor or projector, video conferencing capabilities, and everything you might need to deliver your message effectively.
• Depending on the meeting time and length, you should also consider asking for food and beverages catering. This shows them you appreciate them, makes an excellent impression and as a bonus it ensures everybody is paying attention to your presentation and not distracted by hunger or thirst.

Booking a great meeting room guarantees that you and your company make a favorable first, and ongoing, impression.
