Since you’re only going to have a limited time interaction with the client, it’s important you create a good first impression. Here are 5 ways you can increase your chances of creating a good first impression on you client;

Corporate uniform

When you’re meeting a potential client, you need to exuberate confidence, discipline and etiquette. So make sure you dress the part! It helps if you’re dressed appropriately in accordance with the corporate uniforms melbourne for your meeting, even if it’s a casual meeting. Otherwise it could give off the impression that you’re lazy or laid back and would not be able to focus on the project with complete authority.

Research

Do your research before you meet the client. IT helps if you know a little bit about the client and the project itself. It helps to be aware of the client’s likes and dislikes so you have an idea of how to take the conversation forward in your favor. A lot of experts suggest mimicking the client’s behavior instantly makes you more likable to him.

You should be as warm and positive as you can be and your informal introduction shouldn’t sound like a pitch, more like a general networking conversation.

One of the fundamental elements of life on a sailboat is respect for space : every inch is precious in boats, and you can begin to save space by using soft bags and bags instead of rigid suitcases , so that they can be compacted and easily put away once emptied. The little space available and the respect of other people and of the boat itself also imposes the absolute prohibition of smoking below deck , however paying the utmost attention when doing it on the deck and thus remaining downwind.

Another fundamental thing to remember when living on a ship is that what is not firmly locked could roll or otherwise move, so it is better to always be careful where and how objects are left, especially those that are fragile or capable of damaging things and people .

always respecting what the skipper. Maximum attention to dirt, especially with regard to any oily stains or other liquids: on board the boats it is easy to slip and it is therefore necessary to pay close attention to what is perhaps accidentally spilled. Order and cleanliness are the two most important words and remember that often if you don’t always walk barefoot, that’s another reason to keep the boat’s floor (floor) clean.

How to start racing with a cruise boat

0 Comment

This article is dedicate to all those who have long dreamed of starting to sail with their own boat but have not yet had the courage or the opportunity. Do you think your sailboat, born for the cruise, is not suitable? Don’t know where to start?

Sometimes great ideas run aground on a grain of sand and we will try to wipe it out by interviewing Giuseppe Tesorone: lifelong sailor, racer, regatta officer and owner of Sail in Progress. We will try to eliminate any doubt and if it is not enough we invite you to ask your question to Giuseppe, leaving a comment.

 

Giuseppe Tesorone is passionate about sailing, racer, regatta officer and owner of Sail in Progress , a company that deals with sailing at 360 °, with particular attention to competitive sailing. Thanks to the many prestigious results, he won the “Shipowner’s Trophy of the Year” for three consecutive years and was nominated for the “Golden Rudder”. Giuseppe Tesorone is also one of the teachers of the BMW Match Race Academy.

“Because it’s nice to feel emotions in life! Regattas allow you to experience the thrill of competition , to test yourself.

Furthermore, normally a boat is used above all in the spring-summer period; making regattas is a great opportunity to use it and go to sea all year round .

Finally, the regattas allow to acquire a mastery of the medium that is not learned during the summer cruises and that can be useful in every situation, even outside the competitions. “

What do you think looks the best?

Everyone will try to capture the most beautiful aspect, depending on their personality. What I like best is the competition, the energy, the enthusiasm that a regatta gives to all the crew “.

Can you start racing with any boat?

“I would say yes! The important thing is to understand what the conditions are, what features the boat has and find the right racing circuit. For example, if I have a cruise boat and I compete against only racing boats, I certainly won’t enjoy it. On the contrary between boats of the same “type” the competition is stimulating and fun at any level.
