Day before you meet someone

You rely upon people to book a meeting on their calendar, since you are generally not sending a meeting invite.   Therefore, the day (not evening) before, I’d recommend the following:

1.       Confirmation e-mail

o   Confirm meeting time and place

o   Provide your cell number

o   Specifically mention that you have attached your resume and marketing plan

2.       Prep any referrals/contacts that you can offer

o   People that you know that could help build this person’s business, enable their search, etc.

o   If you are tracking your contacts, take a glance through them to get ideas for good connections of value
