1. While Matching State of Mind
While Matching Be clear while communicating, repeat important things to avoid misunderstandings Be responsive. Reply to their emails immediately, and stick to deadlines Be honest; do not promise things that are not possible and then try to cover up for it Show excitement about the country, get them excited too Be supportive – they will want many details about the country they are going to, so provide everything they ask for
Realization Be soft and gentle with your speech and actions Don’t exaggerate things, be realistic and simple. Be excited but do not overdo it. Be punctual every time you meet them – while picking them up from the airport and to meetings Be professional. Stick to the point when you interact with them and don’t get carried away Give them the experience of their lives. Do whatever it takes – it will be rewarding for you as well.
