From the clothes to wear to the type of makeup to use, you can plan everything ahead. However, the results of the meeting are beyond your control. You can’t determine if your potential business partners will agree to work with you. Even if you worked hard to have a winning proposal, it could still end up sort a rejection. You shouldn’t stress about the results at all. It will only make you look terrible during the meeting. Just do what you can to impress these people and leave it up to them to decide your fate.
