To ensure that you get the successful outcome you need to make sure you verbally impress the client but also your body language needs to be telling the client the same message!

If you go into this meeting and sit there with your arms folded across your body – your client will think that you do not want to be there and you are hiding something or trying to protect yourself. It is better to sit with your arms at your sides or on the table in an open gesture. Also keep your facial expressions in check – if this client is boring you do not show it – make sure you look interested and ask questions as your face will be constantly monitored by your client.

Ultimately, what you don’t say is even more important than what you do say – so watch your body language!
