Making a great first impression with e|spaces Orlando
We have all heard the saying, “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.”
The same rule applies to the importance of making a great impression of your office space.
When meeting a prospective client or current customer in person for the first time, you want to make sure that you follow essential steps on the ‘first impression’ journey.
Be punctual
Nothing says ‘you are not a priority to me’ like being late to a scheduled meeting. At e|spaces, you can reserve one of our nine private meeting rooms to host appointments. This is a valuable feature for our members and non-members who want to make an impactful first impression by reserving a specific time to meet with that critical customer.
Give a warm greeting
Our e|spaces Location Managers are the best of the best. They understand that they will likely be the first person to engage with your incoming guest. Brandy, our Orlando Location Manager, has a career of experience in the hotel industry, and she treats everyone that walks onto her floor like a VIP. One of the things mentioned throughout our many 5-Star reviews is how helpful, accommodating, and gracious Brandy is to visitors and guests. One of our recent Orlando guests said, “Brandy greeted everyone in our group with warmth and a huge smile when we walked through the entrance.” They also mentioned Starbucks coffee was a welcomed bonus.
Be fully engaged and attentive
We have a lot of distractions in our lives. When meeting with someone for the first time, the most important thing you can do is leave your phone in your private e|spaces office while meeting in one of our meeting rooms or open, collaborative areas. The Orlando location has over 5,000 feet of open areas that are perfect for sitting down and giving your clients your full attention. (Be careful to not sit at one of the tables closest to the panoramic windows or you may have a hard time getting your client’s attention.) The breathtaking views are quite mesmerizing and have been known to grab!
Meet in a professional setting
Our Orlando space is a high tech, 30,000 sq. ft. masterpiece. Your clients will be amazed from the moment they set foot out of the elevators on our 13th floor. The fact that you have selected your office to be in one of the most talked-about and envied office locations in all of Central Florida shows that you take your business seriously and care about making a great impression on your guests. Our Orlando member, Dave Green, put it perfectly when he said, “e|spaces provides me a great opportunity to host meetings with potential clients in a high-level professional setting.”
Follow up and thank the guest for meeting with you
First impressions are important, and e|spaces is your secret weapon to create a remarkable memory. The after-meeting follow-up is also an important step. Don’t forget to write a hand-written thank you note!
