2. Be Punctual
Being “fashionably late” sounds so glamorous. Perhaps it was all it was cracked up to be among the famous in 1940s Hollywood. However, when it comes to business, especially as an entrepreneur, you simply can’t afford to be perceived as inconsiderate of your client’s time, unorganized, or aloof. Take advantage of Google Calendar and set reminders for yourself to leave early. It always makes a positive impression to get to your meeting spot before your client does.

3. Woo Your Client
Be aware of your client’s comfort. Does she need a refill of her water? Is the sun glaring in her eyes? Get the door for her. Respond with, “It’s my pleasure,” and “What else can I do for you?” Think a Ritz-Carlton level of customer service. She’ll feel like a million bucks and won’t mind paying you to make her feel that way.

4. Follow Up
You’ve finished your session, provided your services, and received your pay. As far as you’re concerned, you’re done. Right? Wrong. Even after being paid, it’s a smart idea to follow-up with your client. Tell them you enjoyed your session together and send them additional resources if you have them. Encourage them to reach out to you if they should need anything else. Thank-you notes are always nice.

5. Keep it Classy & Professional
Working one-on-one with a client can get real comfortable real soon. As a client opens up to you about their struggles, remember that you’re not best of buddies, and the opportunity doesn’t go both ways. We should always encourage trust and a sense of safe discretion, but we should never divulge personal information about ourselves in these kinds of settings. Stay professional in what you share with your client.
