Katie ColeFinding a place to have a sales meeting in New York City is difficult – mainly because of the endless options you have.
Are you looking for a casual spot? Something a little more upscale to impress the enterprise client you’re meeting? Are you having your meeting over coffee, lunch, drinks?
The questions are endless, as are the options. Luckily, we’ve drummed up some of our favorite spots to have a sales meeting in NYC:
