How many meetings do you have per day? How do you prepare for them?

Question

Hey, hunters!
A couple of weeks ago, our team interviewed Nim from Amy. We discussed the importance of business interactions, and he told me he has around ten (10!) meetings a day, 8 being with new people.

How many do you have?

Nim says it's essential to personalise these interactions since people make purchasing decisions because of the person more than the product. So, how do you prepare for these meetings?

I love connecting with new potential partners! I try to find out more about their company on my own by browsing the website, social media, looking for reviews in communities. I have no nerves, I am as good-natured and delicate as possible. The only thing that sometimes complicates things is the language barrier. Some dialects of English and Spanish I do not understand at all)

It's essential to do some preparation before the meeting. This can potentially save a lot of time. I have around 3 to 5 meetings per day, most of them with potential clients, so to be ready to discuss everything in great detail, I mostly plan my meetings ahead of time and do the all required homework.

@katerina_kurshina Hi, Kate! I have the same meeting preparation routine. And it's great that you have no nerves! I still get a bit anxious over them haha, but it definitely improves with time (and meetings!)
