Introductory principles in business etiquette

First, we must be "caring."

Second, it is necessary to be "moderately critical."

Third, we should be "distant".

In foreign exchanges, the normal distance between people can be roughly divided into the following four types, each of which applies to different situations.

One is the private distance, which is less than a meter away. It is only for family, lovers and close friends. Hence the call "intimate distance".

The second is social distancing, which is greater than a meter and less than a meter. It is suitable for general social interaction, so it is also called"Regular distance"。

Third, there is the ceremonial distance. The distance is greater than meters and less than 3 meters. It is suitable for meetings, speeches, celebrations, ceremonies, and receptions, and is intended to pay homage to the person with whom you are interacting, so it is also called"Respectful distance"。

Fourth, public distancing. It is located at a distance of 3 meters and is suitable for spending time with strangers in public. It is also called"There is a distance of distance"。

Fourth, we should be "behaving in moderation." In order to truly "behave moderately" in foreign-related exchanges, we should pay attention to the following two aspects.

First, don't use certain random actions that are intended to show enthusiasm.

Second, don't use uncivilized and impolite actions.

7. Don't Be Overly Modest The basic meaning of the principle is that when it comes to self-evaluation in international exchanges, although we should not boast about ourselves, flaunt ourselves, or blindly elevate ourselves, there is absolutely no need to be arrogant, self-deprecating, contemptuous, and excessively modest and polite toward foreigners.

8. It is not advisable to act first The so-called principle of "not acting first" is also called the principle of "not being first" by some people. Its basic requirement is that, in the course of foreign-related exchanges, when faced with a situation that is difficult to cope with for the time being, uncertain, or does not know what to do, if possible, the wisest thing to do is to try not to rush into action, and in particular, it is not appropriate to rush to take the lead and act rashly. In other words, if possible, when faced with such a situation, it is better to stand still, and then wait and see what the people around you are doing, and take consistent action with them.

There is also a difference in the order of introduction, and the low-status and young should be introduced to the high-status and old, and the men should be introduced to the women. During the introduction, except for women and the elderly, they should generally stand; But at the banquet table, there is no need to stand up at the table, the person being introduced only needs to smile and nod his head.

Before the introduction, the introducer must understand the identity and status of the two parties and whether the other party has a desire to know each other, or weigh whether it is necessary to introduce both parties before choosing the opportunity to act. The order of introductions should adhere to the principle that the party who receives special respect has the priority to understand the other party, and should introduce men to women, juniors to elders, guests to hosts, unmarried people to married people, low-ranking people to high-ranking customers, low-ranking people to high-ranking customers, individuals to groups, and latecomers to early-arrivals. When speaking orally, address elders, high-ranking people, hosts, ladies, married, and those who arrive first, then introduce the introducer, and then introduce the party who addresses first.

The common feature of this sequence of introductions is that "His Holiness is at the back" to show respect.

1.Elders and juniors.

The elders have the right to know first, so when the juniors meet with the elders, they are generally introduced to the elders.

2.Superiors and subordinates.

Superiors have the right to know, so when superiors and subordinates meet, they need to introduce subordinates to superiors.

3.Men's and women's.

When men and women meet, they pay attention to respecting women, and women have a high status and introduce men to women.

Introduction to different occasions in business etiquette.

Make friends in social situations, either by a third party or by yourself. When introducing others, you should first understand whether both parties have a desire to get acquainted, and do not act rashly. Whether you're introducing yourself or introducing someone else, do it naturally.

For example, if someone you're talking to is someone you know well, you can come up and say hello, and that acquaintance will introduce you to other guests by the way. On these occasions, you can also take the initiative to introduce yourself, stating your name, identity, and affiliation (country), and the other party will introduce yourself later. When introducing others, you can also explain your relationship with yourself, so that new acquaintances can understand and trust each other.

When introducing specific people, politely gesture with your hand instead of pointing with your finger.
