Meeting Etiquette For Business Etiquette

Etiquette is divided into etiquette, handshake etiquette and the etiquette of using business cards.

1. introduce etiquette

(1) timing of introduction

To introduce the time to choose the time, such as when the other person has free time, when the mood is good, the time of solitude, when there is such a willingness to make the initiative

(2) contents introduced

The content of the introduction must be moderate and not too long. Otherwise, the other party will not be patient enough to listen.

(3) attitude during introduction

When you introduce your eyes, you should gaze at each other and look at each other.

(4) observe the norms of business etiquette and make sure that both parties are willing to get to know each other.

If the two party itself has contradictions or etiquette conflicts, the introduction of mutual understanding will lead to embarrassment on both sides.

(5) pay attention to the order of introduction.

If one party has more people and the other party has only one or a small number of people, it is necessary to introduce a person who has fewer people.

If the other party has a relatively high status, he will first introduce the humble person, and the respectable person has the prior right to know.

In general social occasions, the general rule is to introduce the elders to the elders first. The men first introduce to the ladies, introduce the lower status to the senior ones, introduce the married people to the married people first, introduce the individuals to the public first, and introduce the people who arrive after the party to those who arrive first.

2. handshake etiquette

Shaking hands is a kind of custom left behind by the Neanderthal stone age.

That is, during the war of hunting, people often hold weapons. When meeting strangers, if both sides are not malicious, they must put down their weapons, then open their palm to each other, or let the other touch their palms.

With the change of times, this custom has gradually evolved into a form of ceremonies with two hands.

Nowadays, most people in the country regard handshake as a kind of common courtesy.

At the same time, handshake ceremony is also a common ceremony for international, business, social affairs and other occasions.

(1) matters needing attention when shaking hands.

Under normal circumstances, the handshake ceremony should pay attention to: between superiors and subordinates, after reaching the lower levels can reach out to grasp; between the elders and the younger generation, only the elders can reach out their hands after reaching out their hands; between men and women, only women can reach out after holding hands; when shaking hands, men should take off their gloves; if a woman wears a ring outside the glove, she can not take off her gloves; when shaking hands, she should extend her right hand and never extend her left hand.

Before you shake hands with others, you should first consider whether or not you are welcome. If you think he welcomes you, even if the other side is your superior, you can't shake hands with him first. So whether you first extend your hand depends on how well you relate.

(2) types of handshakes

(1) stab sword handshake.

Some people shake hands when they shake hands. They push their palms down like a sharp sword, and stretch out a stiff arm and palm down, forcing the recipient into a passive state.

This handshake is one of the rude, unbridled, and annoying handshake forms.

Stab sword handshake is a rude handshake, because the handshake of a handshake is coupled with the palm down, forcing the recipient into a passive state and giving the receiver a psychological feeling of control. Therefore, it is difficult to establish an equal friendship with the recipient.

(2) wearing a glove handshake.

Some people often wear gloves to shake hands with others, thinking that this can also show their enthusiasm and welcome to each other.

In fact, on the contrary, wearing gloves means that people hate your hands.

In most countries, wearing gloves to shake hands with others is impolite and insulting to each other, so avoid wearing gloves and shake hands with others.

Dead fish handshake

Sometimes we will receive a weak hand, and the other side will give you all the palm of your hand. You can hold it. This hand is like a dead fish, so it is called a dead fish handshake.

The handshake itself is a warm and friendly etiquette, but when someone reaches out a hand to hold you, you will feel unfeeling and cold, and will feel that the other side is weak. The handshake of this form is very bad.

4. Hand clapping.

The active handshake holds the right hand of the right hand with the right hand, and then holds the back of each other's hands with his left hand, so that the other's hands are sandwiched between the hands of the active handshake. This way of handshaking is called the "politician's handshake" in western countries.

This way of shaking hands tries to make the recipients feel warm, sincere, honest and reliable.

This form of handshake between friends and colleagues does achieve the desired effect.

But this handshake can be the opposite when it comes to people who meet for the first time.

Wooden handshake

When shaking hands, some people stick out a stick arm far away. His arms are stiff and stiff. This form is called "wooden club shake".

In this way, the handshake is to maintain a certain distance from each other.

The purpose of keeping distance is: first, the handshake person's personal space is larger than that of the receiver. Using this form of handshake can prevent the other party from intruding into his space circle.

Secondly, handshake people are afraid to encroach on each other's space.

For example, when subordinates shake hands with their superiors, because of their different status, people with low status dare not infringe on the personal space of a person of high status. They will shake hands with each other in this way.

Grasping fingertip handshake

When shaking hands, some people just grasp the fingertips of each other's hands, which is an irregular form of handshake.

Even if the person who gives the hand is warm and kind, it will give the other person a very cold feeling.

Outrigger handshake

When shaking hands, someone will pull the receiver's hand and hold it with his hand, known as the "extended arm" handshake.

The handshake in this way means two situations. First, the active handshake belongs to the "timid type". Only in his own area can he feel safe. Secondly, the close area of the active handshake is small.

This handshake can make people feel very uncomfortable.

Double grip handshake

When shaking hands, some people often hold hands with others. This form of handshake is better.

When shaking hands in this way, usually the right hand of the active handshake is held with the right hand of the other person, and his left hand moves to the right arm of the other side, so that his left hand and left arm can convey more feelings to the recipient.

The person who holds the two hands wants to convey a sincere and deep feeling to people.

When shaking hands with others, the above handshake is not suitable, and some handshake methods are suitable for different occasions.

The proper way to shake hands with others is to shake hands for a long time, but there is a certain degree of intensity.

3. use of business cards

After oral presentation, business people can deliver their own business cards so that they can know your information in more detail and at the same time facilitate contacts later.

(1) contents on business cards

The production of business cards should be simple and generous. The color of business cards can be made of light, light, yellow and other light coloured systems. The size of the business cards is usually 9 centimeters long and wide centimeters. The contents of business cards can only contain their own attribution (i.e. their units, departments, etc.), simple self introduction (names, positions, titles), contact ways (company's telephone numbers, postal codes, fax), and not too much on business cards, otherwise it will give people the feeling of showing off and frivolous. If necessary, you can print many kinds of business cards and give different name cards when interacting with different personnel.

(2) exchanging business cards

If you want to communicate with others for a long time, it is necessary to ask for a business card. You can hand in your business card on your own initiative. The other person will exchange his business card according to the etiquette standard.

At the same time, you can ask for it in a euphemistic way, such as "how to consult you later". The general business people will give you their business cards out of courtesy.

If someone asks you for a business card, even if you do not want to give the other party, you should pay attention to refuse it gently. For example, "sorry, I have finished my business card" or "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my business card", so that one side of the calling card will not feel embarrassed.

In addition, when you hand your business card to the other party, you must use two hands. Your eyes are focused and you can't look around. At the same time, the party who receives the card should use two hands, or with the right hand, but must not use the left hand. In some countries, the left hand is considered to be an "unclean hand" and the left hand is used for convenience.

After you get your business card, you should watch it for half a minute, then put it in your pocket or briefcase, and you can't leave it everywhere, otherwise it will give people a sense of neglect.

If there are many people, they should be issued according to clockwise order, and they must not be missed.

If a mistake is missed, it will give people a sense of not being valued, thus affecting the communication between them.
