First meeting with the owner of my company tomorrow. Any advice?

Asked by Haleth (18947

The company I work for was bought out by a larger company a little while before I was hired. We just heard that the owner of the parent company will visit all the stores in my area tomorrow, and to be ready for him to have a great visit. I’m definitely excited about meeting him for the first time.

We’ve been working on a lot of new things in the year that I’ve been here. Everyone at the store is working hard to make sure the store looks perfect. In the past, I’ve always worked for much smaller businesses, the kind of place where I’d see the owner just about every day.

I’m 23, just starting out in my career, and I’m really excited about having this job. (After my interview, they told me a big factor in hiring me was my enthusiasm.) How can I make this a great visit and make a strong first impression?

Be honest and straight forward; don’t try to BS him at all. Show how things are focused on the customer having a great experience.

Be cheerful, positive with your product, and honest.
Also be ready for whatever happens.

I remember your question about your interview and the anxiety you expressed when you applied for the job. You got it just by being your genuine and positive self . I don’t think you have a thing to worry about tomorrow. Don’t be intimidated by this person. Your enthusiasm is still working for you, as will a confident smile, a firm handshake, and a pleasant (nongushing) greeting in welcome.

You sound all set for the visit. He knows you are enthusiastic and a hard worker just let him see that you listen to what he says. Having a couple of questions to ask wouldn’t be a bad idea.
