Can we catch up for a coffee?

March 20, 2008 – 1:08 pm


Catching up for coffee is an integral part of doing business today. A meeting over coffee is a great informal way of getting to know someone, or to learn about their business, product or service.

It is little wonder some many good companies, big and small, are replacing their poorly stocked kitchens and 1kg instant coffee powders for quality bean to cup espresso coffee machines such as the HLF or N&W Vending ranges from Coffee Shrine.

So what are the rules of engagement when you are requesting or being invited to Catch up for Coffee?

Valerie Khoo at www.smh.com.au/smallbusiness recommends the following as a guide:

If you’re being asked to meet for coffee:

1.Establish who they are and want they want on the phone beforehand

2.Ask them to come to you

3.Establish from the outset how much time you have

If you are asking for the coffee meeting

1.Be honest about your intentions

2.Be clear about your outcomes and travel to them

3.Thank Them
