I hope that you have enjoyed the article 13 Tips For Big Purchasing Meetings, Part III<\/em>\u00a0as well as the other articles in the series.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss updates on Procurement & Supply Chain, Subscribe here!<\/p>\n

To summarize Part III, I\u2019d say that the common theme in these last four tips is that you need to develop a strong rapport with the key executive in your meeting.\u00a0 In order to buy in to your recommendation or choose one of the options you present, that executive needs to like you.<\/p>\n

Liking you doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that the executive will think you are a good or nice person.\u00a0 It is more likely to mean that the executive believes that you think like an executive yourself and that you respect his or her time.\u00a0 If nothing else, these last four tips teach you how to show that you respect the executive and that, in turn, will earn you the executive\u2019s respect.<\/p>\n

So, even if you think that you\u2019re so experienced that you don\u2019t have to put any effort into preparing for a business meeting, I urge you to take the time to review these 13 tips.\u00a0 They may just make the difference between your recommendation being accepted and appreciated and you being forgotten among the gazillion other things an executive has on his or her mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
