The Art of the Business Lunch
Video Clip: Click to Watch
Robin Jay is not just the "The Queen of the Business Lunch™", as affectionately nicknamed by her clients, but is also an award-winning author, motivational speaker, and results-oriented life coach. Her book, "The Art of the Business Lunch: Building Relationships Between 12 and 2" has become a tremendously helpful guide for entrepreneurs and business professionals. Jay, a Business Relationship Expert, is available for speaking contracts as well as endorsement deals.
Jay says, "I've been more focused lately on helping businesses to build deeper, more caring relationships. Allowing others to really get to know you – even your vulnerabilities - is invaluable. My newest keynote presentation is titled, 'B Face 2 Face 4 Success.' It's spelled out like a typical text message because the very technology that was supposed to help us seems to have consumed us, instead!"
Jay says it's apparent that creating new ways to generate quality face time is on everyone's mind – from iPhone's "FaceTime" software to American Airlines' new business-class swivel seats for in-air face-to-face meetings as well as air-to-ground calls on the new iPhone, to CISCO's recent campaign: "Welcome to the human network." Corporate America is going all-out to put us FACE to FACE with each other. But, how are you supposed to create quality face time and how should you behave when you are – finally – face-to-face? That's where Jay comes in.
As a Business Relationship Expert, author, and motivational speaker, Jay shares colorful stories that will help people create more productive "face time" when out with their clients, from getting that first, all-important face-to-face meeting to building lasting relationships. She says, "The more people you know, the more people you can get to know. In other words," she explains, "everyone you know knows other people who may need your services or products. Successful professionals understand this and are able to take mere networking or business meetings to a much higher, more personal level."
Jay says, "I trademarked 'The Queen of the Business Lunch™' recently, as I've become so well-known by that nickname. During my advertising sales career, I personally hosted more than 3,000 client lunches and saw my sales increase by more than 2,000%. It was actually my clients who started calling me by that title. I wrote the book to help other business professionals become more proficient at building productive business relationships, particularly by sharing a meal with their clients. The book was so popular that it is now available in twelve languages."
"Now, I've taken the foundation of the principles in the book and expounded on them to apply to today's tech-obsessed world, when a great business lunch isn't always an option. There are many alternatives to a business lunch, especially for those who are on a seriously limited budget. I enjoy helping others to create quality face time regardless of their circumstances. Distance and limited money are no reason to stay behind your desk all day. Sometimes, we just need to get a bit more creative."
In "The Power of the Platform: Speakers on Life," the newest anthology in "The Power of the Platform" series published by the Las Vegas Convention Speakers Bureau, Jay shares a story in her chapter about her friend, marketing consultant Phil Robertson. In discussing the importance of opening your home to clients, Phil shared, "Now that I think about it, I realize I've never lost a client who has been to my home for dinner!" Jay was not surprised. She says, "Candor and vulnerability can help your business associates to see you as a human being. Exposing your true self can help you to create even better business relationships that will, ultimately, pay even greater rewards – personally and professionally."
