Remember to

• Not reject the idea you hear right off the bat. Listen to it carefully and try to understand where it is coming from. The chances are the people in the meeting are more interested about that.
• Never forget to say “How Can I Help You?”
• Always have a follow-on action and continue the conversation beyond the meeting
• State the perks connection with you can bring to the table and mention your capabilities and resources
• Share the big picture of what you are working on
• Stay GENUINE
