You've finally secured new office space in London so you've made it right? Wrong! While having a base in London is undoubtedly a sign of success, it takes a lot more than a swanky office to secure and entertain key clients. Clients need to be looked after and given a bit of TLC if you hope to keep them or even secure them for the first time.
If you do have an office in London then it's a good start. The capital is easily one of the best cities to entertain clients but where do you start? It's important to remember that not every client is the same. While one venue might have gone down amazingly with one client, it might not cut the mustard with another. Here are my top 5 ideas for entertaining clients right across London.
1. The Theatre: OK, this might seem like a fairly obvious one but London's West End has some of the best theatres in the world, which really shouldn't be ignored. Many celebrities have trod the boards at these theatres, which only employ the best of the best. All tastes can be met by the wide range of shows which are on nearly every day. From melodramas to comedies and from musicals to tragedies; London's West End really does have versatile performances to suit all clients.
2. Landmarks: If your clients are foreign or live away from the city they might enjoy a bit of culture. Taking a tour of London's landmarks is a great way of introducing clients to your city and can help to make them feel more welcome in an unfamiliar city. Bus tours are great if you want to tour the whole city, while the Underground makes it easy to get around on foot.
3. Nice restaurant: London has some of the best restaurants in the world and is home to a number of high profile eateries such as Claridge's, the Ivy, the Fat Duck Restaurant and Fifteen. Taking clients out for dinner is a great way to get to know each other and can even encourage bonding.
4. Football match: Football is huge in England and is a great way of introducing clients to local culture. During the football season they'll always be a number of matches each weekend, which are perfect for entertaining. Key teams in and around London include Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
5. Zoo: London Zoo is a major tourist attraction and is a great alternative activity for entertaining clients.
