SWEETS FOR THE SUITE
The quality of biscuits -- that is, cookies or crackers -- served at British business meetings can sweeten or sour the outcome of a deal, four out of five professionals said in a survey. Only the table and chairs, the survey found, are more important aspects of the meeting room.
Other morsels from the study:
· Lawyers are most likely to be influenced by the biscuit offerings.
· Chocolate digestives, a type of semi-sweet cookie, make the best impression, especially if there is bad news.
· Half of those surveyed would never take more than two biscuits at a meeting.
