If you’re meeting someone over a potential job, want to close up a deal or you’re persuading a client to work with you, the chances are, you’ll take them for a business lunch.
The deal breaker can often be the place you take your client and if you haven’t done your research beforehand, you could end up wasting your time in a local Starbucks.
