My family used to have 'animated' debates with my grandmother over "white lies" - fibs that might prevent someone being offended, and telling the truth. Being a die hard Lancastrian, she believed that telling the truth - or what Southerners would say "being blunt", was more honest. The fact that we had to tell a white lie over her cooking "Oh this is delicious", so as not to offend her, didn't cross her mind!
People DO lie: stinking porkies, white lies or fibs. In business it is very useful to learn how to detect a lie, and also be aware of what you do when you're fibbing. I came across the following article, which could be of use when meeting clients! It gives some self awareness of the types of signals we give to other people when we're fibbing. Of course, when you KNOW what you do, it is easier to disguise this.
Here's the article. Good luck!
