Quick Meeting & Greeting Tips Part Two

  • When meeting someone offer a firm handshake.
  • Never offer a bone-crushing grips or wimpy limp-wristed hand shakes.
  • In business you always introduce less important people, such as your boss, to more important people, such as a business prospect.
  • Pay attention to names when you meet people. If you concentrate and repeat the name as soon as you hear it you are more likely to remember.
  • Use first names of people you have just met only after they give you permission. Not everyone wants to be addressed informally at first.
