The correct lifestyle decisions on the road will ensure you remain healthy, maintain your stamina, and are ready for any challenge.I spend a good ten days a month on the road now flying across the country to different meetings, projects and conferences. Maintaining a proper diet, fitness routine and balanced lifestyle take discipline when at home and more so when on the road. Here are some basic tips I employ to maintaining a healthy lifestyle while travelling on

A business lunch for a client is a device to make your client feel valued, comfortable and wanted. It is often looked as a status symbol. A few things to remember are:

The lunch is seen as a social event – don’t jump into your sales pitch too soon. Both parties know what the aim is – so enjoy yourselves.

Make the client feel special and be polite.

How to set up your business lunch:

Choose a restaurant that you are familiar with and have preferably been to before.

If you have not been to the restaurant before e.g. it has been chosen by your company – introduce the restaurant to your guest as one that you have heard good things about.

Always book – there is nothing worse than pleading with the maitre d’ for a table whilst your guest stands by looking embarrassed.

If you do arrive to an empty restaurant at lunch time – you’ve not done your homework.

Choose an appropriate restaurant that will make your client feel comfortable. If he is a hard bitten manufacturer – fusion food may not be what he is comfortable with. Similarly if your client is female – they will not appreciate a restaurant where what they see in the bathroom mirror each morning is on full display in the restaurant! Similarly your male client may be uncomfortable. You should aim for a mid range restaurant with good service and an atmosphere. Remember you need to be able to talk over dinner as well.

Have a couple of names of medium price wines that you enjoy and know about. This makes you knowledgeable and removes the embarrassing wait if you are asked to recommend a wine.

Ask the maitre d’ for a table where you can talk business. Most good restaurants understand this need. Preferably do this when you book or just as you arrive.

Let your guest order first, unless they show hesitation, in which case you can suggest a good dish they may like. The hesitation may be because they are not aware of your budget.

When ordering your meal– don’t embarrass everyone by ordering more or less food or a more expensive course than they are.

Do not order difficult food such as spaghetti or crabs legs that require careful handling, unless your client does.

They may suggest you order the wine – otherwise let them order for you both.

Ensure that you do not drink too much – just wine is a good idea, followed by an aperitif. Stay sober and professional at all times. Similarly do not encourage your client to drink too much.
