After making your client wait (be at least 30 minutes late), it\u2019s time for the presentation. Get off to a great start by not introducing yourself. A slightly haughty \u201chello\u201d will do just fine. Make clear that they don\u2019t deserve you. If the atmosphere becomes slightly awkward, you\u2019re on the right track! For bonus points, answer your phone if it rings during the conversation, and mention to the person on the line that it\u2019s \u201cnot a bad time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to start your meeting with a kiss on the cheek, as if you were at a cocktail party. They certainly won\u2019t see it coming. Then talk about your other clients. Complain about them while also noting that the product you sell is overrated, insisting that you like to be honest with your clients. If that doesn\u2019t do the trick, you can also work in some little \u201cjokes.\u201d That\u2019s a nice pink shirt. It takes a lot of guts to wear that. <\/em>There\u2019s no risk of overdoing it. Give them your whole stand-up routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n it takes a true artist to pull this one off. You have to be subtle to present your product poorly while also appearing serious. First, give a one-dimensional\u2014or even monotonous\u2014product description. They need to hear the weariness in your voice\u2014a bland, flat tone. They should be bored to death listening to you. If your client somehow still becomes interested, you need to get out the big guns. Discounts are not allowed\u2014I don\u2019t even want to see a goody to say thanks. If the client wants to sign, find an excuse to set up another meeting. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re the only one in the world who offers what you sold your client, so don\u2019t waste your time showing them your appreciation. Don\u2019t let a \u201cthank you\u201d slip out of your mouth. Friendship with your client is completely out of the question and whatever you do, don\u2019t answer their phone calls. That\u2019s an order! Disappear from their life as quickly as you appeared. Chasing away your client also means performing your own vanishing act. If they have complaints, all the better\u2014don\u2019t reply yourself. Give them time to stew and let your intern take care of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here\u2019s the post you\u2019ve all been waiting for: a guide to making your clients run for the hills.
