Step 1: Have a cold, clammy, wet fish handshake. Like having week-old salmon slapped into your palm.
Step 2: Always have your mobile turned off, tell your clients you hate email and give them your home number that always goes to your answering machines so they can't talk to you.
Step 3: When you open your browser window on your laptop in a cafe when meeting with your client, ensure that you have a photo of a well-endowed blonde who's not afraid of showing you what she had for lunch in the background.
It's all about professionalism, people!
Um, Tree? Is there something wrong with your email? Having problems sending to you...

Sounds like a classy guy!
Think that'll help me network?
Indeed, very good tips. You know, if I'm ever trying to get laid off, I might need these. ;-)
p.s. HIYA, Tree!

i'll get you next time miss tree, next time....
well...i suppose it depends on what industry...like, if you're a porn star or rockstar, it's prolly ok. heh.
oh brother. :P
Oh! I've never used these techniques - maybe this explains why I haven't been able to spread my business worldwide yet... :)

One of my workmates here has J-Lo's bottom as his background and I teased him that he'd have to change it if we had 'external' visitors... but J-lo's bottom, no matter how tightly clad is very different to... that...
