There’s something special about sharing a meal with someone. We all know this applies in business as well as with friends and family. But did you ever really think about the benefits of breaking bread with a business prospect? Sitting across the desk from someone for an hour, or even facing each other on a comfortable couch discussing business does not develop the same relationship as spending the same hour having the discussion over lunch.
Same topic, same amount of time, same discussion. Different result. There’s just something about combining speaking and sharing ideas and stories with dining that leads to a better understanding of each other.
