“The Queen of the Business Lunch” – There is Only One!

I hosted more than 3,000 client lunches during my years in advertising sales - though I'm quite sure that is a conservative estimate. My guess today would lean more toward 4,000.

I was compelled to share my tips and techniques with the world ... and so I wrote "The Art of the Business Lunch."

But there is another reason why you might want to order salads, fish, or lean meat - especially when out with clients.
