Your First Meeting Should NOT Be a Pitch (Do This Instead) | Mustache Moments

Most people walk into a first meeting ready to pitch… and that’s exactly why they lose the deal.

The best business relationships don’t start with slides, proposals, or polished decks—they start with something simpler: connection.

In this Mustache Moment, I break down my entire business development strategy in one sentence: the sniff test. It’s not about closing—it’s about chemistry.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
• Why first meetings should never feel like a sales pitch
• How to evaluate real connection (not just credentials)
• Why “liking the person” leads to better long-term partnerships
• The hidden cost of chasing money over fulfillment

If you’ve ever felt turned off by overly aggressive pitches—or wondered why some partnerships just click—this will change how you approach every conversation.

So next time you meet someone: skip the pitch… and just see if you’d grab a coffee with them ☕

What’s your take—chemistry or credentials?
