First meeting in open
Scheduling to meet a new provider. I’ve been accustomed to scheduling hotel room rendezvous meetings. I’m considering asking about a first meeting at the hotel bar for a dinner/dessert then heading to the room. I think it would help to break the ice and mitigate any of that first time awkwardness when meeting.
What are the thoughts on this as a first meeting? Is expecting public time for a first meeting not reasonable? I will obviously ask her preference, but wanted to see what others thought. Thank you!
