Perhaps you are unconsciously responding to the "power move"? I had a boss who would routinely show up late to sales calls _we_ were making. We were the salesmen; we'd show up 10 minutes late. He said it was classic power strategy. Make them think they're waiting on you. I was pissed, back then. Today, I'm less incredulous and wonder if he was on to something.

It is a classic gimmick that salespeople do to convince themselves that they have a special skill beyond lying through their teeth at a customer.

Nah, he was likely just an asshole.

If you read carefully, the post advises doing this -before- the meeting, when no one is around, to pump up your hormones.

I'd just ask you to grab me a coffee
