    1. Never use jargon. 2. Pause - slow yourself down. 3. Look for opportunities to give the client advice that is not in your interest. 4. Ask open ended questions. 5. Be positive. 6. Be careful about mixing business with socializing. 7. Be humble. 8. Be available - be responsive. 9. Take a position - tell the client what to do. 10. Control the meeting. 11. Have an agenda, get the client to buy into it, and take notes.

    He’s right about #3. If you are willing to give advice that runs counter to your own interest, it builds so much trust and credibility that you can afford to be average at the rest of these skills and still do well in your field. Not elite, but still good.

    i work as a real estate associate for my firm, what Jim said about not using jargons with clients is 1000% correct. I have an advantage over other professionals in my space bc i’ve been fortunate to be taught what the various clients (e.g. cities/universities) understand and what they don’t. in finance there are a lot of fancy/complex terms used by professionals idk if it’s too come across impressive but it actually negatively affects the deal with the client if you can’t present information in a way that makes sense to them. A lot of firms don’t get this and they think being complex is the sure way to win them the deal. But i have seen impressive financial models/presentations lose projects over more simple presentations. Less is more when working with the client!
