MEETING GUIDE

[This section of the guide contains basic information about the meeting and client. Rogers includes the client’s coffee or tea preference. This isn’t to show client that you have an excellent memory, but instead that you’ve taken the time to make note of it. If you have taken the time to do the little things right, people are more likely to assume you’ll do the big things right as well.]
