dress suitably for the occasion. OK, think about that. Behave in a... in a friendly, confident but business-like manner.
Right? And remember not to spend too long on social conversation; it makes people impatient, before getting down to
business. And remember that your client is a busy person. So respect that. Try and show the client that you're a respon-
sible, trustworthy person, which of course you are. Tell the client about all the other well-known firms who use your

portance. And, remember, don't argue with the client. And finally, you get to stage three: the Closing Stage -recognizing
that your client wants to buy and is on the point of confirming that order. Now, this is the hardest part, because it de-
pends on timing. You have to judge when your client is ready to place that order. Then you can thank him for the order
and go on to your next appointment. Now there's one more thing. Once you have a promise of the order, if it's a new
client, do remember to check their financial status. And sometimes even if it's an old client, don't start work until you
have a written confirmation of the order. That's very important ... .
