0 Regular meetings with clients are important to a healthy collaboration. They
00 may be set up by the client, for example to review with the progress of current
34 projects, to give new instructions that may have lead to a contract variation
35 or to discuss any concerns. The client meeting which can also be arranged
36 by you or another member of your company to attract from new business, to
37 address a problem unless that needs to be solved or to give an update or status
38 report on current business ventures. Your part is in these meetings will dictate
39 the kind of information you need and how you should prepare for them. If you
40 will be responding to questions put by your client, the material you present
41 should deal in specifically with the request that was made. The meeting should not
42 only move off the agenda without the permission of the person you are meeting.
43 If you have prepared properly, you should be able to anticipate both questions and
44 to respond properly. If you are put on the spot and asked for details you do not
45 have, respond honestly - do not speak about matters as you are not familiar with.
