Today, you’re trying to sell a new product: a state-of-the-art paper cup. You’re about to have a meeting with Brian, the recruiter of company X.
A mutual connection of you and Brian introduced you to him. So you’ve never met him before, but he was willing to meet you as a favor to his friend. Although a recruiter is not your usual target audience to visit, the company he works for is very interesting to you.
