Don't Take Your Banger to a Business Meeting

First Impressions Last – Even Before The Business Meeting

Business life can be tough for the company boss who’s built a company from the ground up. You’ve sacrificed, you’ve struggled, you’ve given your all and you’ve set yourself on the road to success. The only thing missing in your life right now is a fabulous premium car in which to drive down that road. As a business owner, you’ve given up plenty in order to get where you are now and one of the things you’ve so far not been able to justify is the expense of replacing your very old but still (mostly) reliable car. It’s scratched, dented, a decade or more old, but there’s no real justifiable reason to replace it.

That doesn’t stop you from feeling at least a little self-conscious as you arrive at your next business meeting, with your prospective client and park your rattling ‘old reliable’ in a car park full of shiny German saloons. You’re smartly dressed, well prepared and your company is more than capable of doing what they need, but you already feel like you’re being silently judged because of what you arrived in. Or worse still, your car breaks down on the way and you arrive late or not at all.

 

Don’t let Your Wheels Scupper the Deal

While the capability of your company and the content of your pitch might be self-evident, it’s a sad truth that you might well get taken less seriously simply because you’re not driving the kind of car a business owner ‘should’ drive. In a perfect world, no-one would think any less of you, but presenting to board members, in a business meeting with your most promising prospective client (and after seeing the eye wateringly expensive cars parked outside), it would take a lot not to allow your confidence to be knocked.

 

Arrive to your Business Meeting in Style

When making a good first impression is important and arriving without incident is essential, perhaps you should consider giving your old car the day off and hire an executive car from Priory instead?

We have an extensive fleet, including executive, premium, specialist and even exotic cars to choose from at prices which are surprisingly affordable. While you might not yet be able to justify buying such a car right now, hiring one for the day will help you arrive in style, make that great first impression and give you the confidence that might just help you clinch the deal at your next business meeting. A deal which might well put you well on your way to affording the wheels you’ve always dreamed of.
