Good one, McGill. Now ask yourself in which of those places you can meet a client twice and still keep them on.
McGill?
For a client meeting I prefer a nice lunch place or just to meet at their office? I do have a FEW clients that work out of their homes. They’ve always been happy with whatever coffee shop is close to them.
It's a better call Saul reference, I think
It's the coffee shop. But I can only speak from experience.
Of course you might be working in an industry where a certain level of huffing clients' farts is required, however, the vast majority aren't.
Realistically yeah, the coffee shop was the only plausible one. But coffee shops won't be the downfall of coworking space because (1) there are clients who simply don't like talking business in a public place and (2) coffee shops only work if the number of people who use them that way is small and/or only do it occasionally. If everbody constantly used coffee shops for that it would stop being fun for all those involved really fast.
You can definitely meet clients twice in a cafe.
