Business Dress & Etiquette : Business Introduction Sequence

Poziom:

Temat: Biznes

All right, we're talking about introductions, and I want to mention to you that gender is

really irrelevant in the order in which you introduce people to each other. What is relevant

is that there actually is an order that you're going to follow and I'm going to talk about

it right now. And remember you always use first and last names when you're introducing

people, that's absolutely mandatory. When you are introducing people in a business setting,

you always want to introduce younger to older. Very important. With peers, let's say everybody

has the same title, they all work in the accounting department, no one's ahead of any department,

no one has necessarily been there any longer than anyone else, they just are peers. Peer

to peer, it doesn't matter. Even if there is somebody that's older in that department,

if they are not necessarily a supervisor, not necessarily anything special, then it's,

this is Jim Davis, this is Scott Morrow, this is... just introduce peer to peer. And then

last, you always want to introduce junior to senior, and I'm not necessarily talking

about Bob Riff Junior, I'm talking about the junior executive Steve Randall to the senior

executive, Stacey Furrow. So that's real important. Something though that you want to make sure

you double check when you're preparing to do introductions for business, check about

culture. Now this goes for us here in America, standard business meetings, we're meeting

new people, we're doing business with other American companies. But when you start bringing

in other countries into the mix, sometimes they have a little bit different order in

which they introduce people to each other. So if you're bringing in a group of people

from Asia or Ireland or the UK or wherever it is, I strongly recommend that you check

their introduction order.
