Particularly if it's their first visit they might feel unsure about what to expect and how to behave, and so we need to be able to quickly put them at their ease. If we are equally nervous, the whole situation could become just embarrassing and that's unlikely to enhance our business!

Being on the back foot never helps the meeting and if you feel wrong-footed by the client's early arrival at your house (whilst still scrabbling to make things presentable) it can reflect on the whole meeting and its outcome. On the occasions that I have had clients to view commissions at my home I have found myself obsessively tidying hours before as I hate the thought of not being ready!! This is soo true!
