Two simple but effective tips for having a business talk
Prepare Gather as much information as you can before the business talk. Practice making your case. Think of the responses you might receive and imagine how you will answer. Try and imagine everything that could possibly occur during the talk, and prepare a response. Take Your Time It is important to be mentally present and willing to consider what the other party says. Feel free to walk away from the talk for a moment to collect your thoughts and reconsider your position. The other party might say something that changes your idea of the business deal. Responding too quickly might cause you to miss something important. Take the time to take a breath, drink a glass of water and remind yourself of what you aim to get out of the business talk.
