\"How<\/a>Looking to drum up some new business? Consider conducting a presentation or demo in front of perspective clients or customers. These face-to-face meetings are a great way to make a great impression that lasts. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to prepare for your stellar presentation:<\/p>\n

A laptop or tablet.<\/span>
\nIf you have the ability to hook up your laptop or tablet to a projector, that\u2019s even better. This allows you to show a digital representation of your work, including things that were too complex to bring into the demo. If your product\/service contains an electronic element, this will give you a chance to walk your customers\u2019 through a step by step process of how it\u2019s used. Make sure whatever you decide to bring in is fully charged before your presentation!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A sample.<\/span>
\nBring in a sample of one of your best offerings that a customer of yours would receive. If a demonstration is involved, that\u2019s great! Show your customers how one would best use that product and\/or service.<\/p>\n

A presentation folder.<\/span>
\nPrint off important documents such as a pricing one-sheet, contract(s), payment forms, releases, etc. and have them presented neatly in a presentation folder<\/a> with your company\u2019s branding, ready for your customer to take home. Don\u2019t forget to stick a business card<\/a> in there and to have your company name and contact info printed on each sheet contained in the folder.<\/p>\n

A parting gift.<\/span>
\nGive your potential customers a small token of your appreciation upon ending your presentation. You\u2019ll want to take this opportunity to show your customers\u2019 why you are different and more thoughtful than you competitors. Consider personalizing an item of yours for your customers with their name or even their own company\u2019s name on. If you don\u2019t have any items that can be personalized, consider sending them something that would be useful! For example, I once gave a client of mine personalized pens with their company\u2019s name on it. Last winter, I had a client of mine send me a blanket with my name embroidered into it! It\u2019s taking that extra step that ensures potential customers will remember you.<\/p>\n

According to Inc.com, here are some last minute do\u2019s and don\u2019ts to remember when arranging face-to-face meetings with prospects!<\/p>\n
