Show Up Prepared
It is important to show up prepared for any meeting. Before a meeting with someone that you haven’t met, you should Google the person or look him or her up on LinkedIn to find out about his or her background, work history and where he or she went to college, and look for common ground like people or places that you both know. Using this knowledge strategically can help you develop rapport more quickly.
If you are meeting with someone for a business meeting, you should know background information on his or her company in advance of the meeting.
