Hi all,
After some specific advice about gifts that are appropriate for a first business meeting.
A little back ground - I am an Account Executive (APAC/MEA) for a software company in Australia and will be visiting Vietnam on holiday soon - have been introduced to a local (HCMC) company that we are looking at partnering with so have arranged a visit with them for an hour to show our products and discuss next steps.
We have gifts that we give to new customers and prospects but the ones I usually use are nice quality Pens in a branded Black box - the pen is not quite black but close to it - Thoughts?
Was also considering Tim Tams (Australian Biscuits covered in Chocolate).
The host of the meeting is an Operation Manager (female).
oh yes one more thing - will wearing an expensive watch be considered OTT and frowned upon or seen as a symbol of success ?
Thanks for any advice.
Stu
