Respect professionals, whether lawyers, physicians or bankers, for their academic qualifications and experience.
You should make an appointment before meeting them and be on time.
When a professional has provided you with good service, you want to express your gratitude.
You should also avoid asking professionals for pro bono advice in social situations.
For example, we often see professional tour guides, who are trained professionals.
It is always convenient for tourists to be taken care of.
If you don't think what the tour guide is what you're interested in, just leave the group for a while and tell your group mates that don't move to other groups and listen to other tour guides.
When you're with a group, don't be a one-man guide and ask him questions.
If you want to know more, read about travel books and articles.
When the tour is explaining, don't listen to anything else with headphones plugged in.
At the end of the tour, thank the tour guide, which includes a tip for the guide, usually $1~2 a day.
介绍 Introduction
Introductions can make two people who don't know each other acquaintances.
In addition, the introduction is also the first impression you leave on others, and knowing how to introduce is an important part of interpersonal communication.
The presentation should be very formal and full of etiquette.
When you master a few simple guidelines, it becomes much easier to introduce one person to another.
Once these guidelines become your second instinct, you will be able to focus on the person being introduced, rather than the guidelines themselves.
When introducing two people to know each other, someone always introduces them first, so how to master it?
Basic guidelines for introducers –
(1) The woman precedes the man, that is, introduces the man to the woman: "Ellen, I want you to meet this Wilbur Agee." Wilbur, this is Mrs. Simon.
(2) The elders take precedence over the youngsters, that is, introduce the youngsters to the elders first: "Grandmother, allow me to introduce my friend from school, Bil Scott, to you. Bill, this is my grandmother, Mrs. Harringto.
(3) Important people precede ordinary people: "Your Excellency, allow me to introduce my wife, Clara Smith. Clara, this is His Excellency Cecil Cardinal. ”
*Introduce the basic guidelines: women before men, elders before young, important people before ordinary people.
I have to explain that this is only for the order of introduction, the senior councillors, but also the mayor, the judges, the clergy, etc.
These people are respected because we respect the public office they hold, not because they are personally more honorable than others.
In addition to important people and the elderly, guests are usually introduced to the hostess and hostess.
In addition to the points mentioned above, we usually introduce our guests first.
应答 对第一次遇见的人，正确的应答是:“How do you do!” (您好!)“ l am pleased to meet you.” (很高兴见到你!)
绝不可以说“I am pleased to make your acquain-tance.”“ I am glad to know you”(很高兴认识了你)之类的话。
It's all well and good to mention someone's name, but don't call it repeatedly, let alone call it by name instead of replying, such as, "Ms. Ep-cot?"
It should be said, "How do you do, Ms. Epcot." Repeating someone else's name is done to make it easier to remember it.
Also, keep smiling when you make an introduction.
Handshake In this section, I will expand on the "handshake" of "your body language" to explain business etiquette.
Get up In today's society, there is more and more advocacy for treating people equally, but I would still like to see people who stand up in front of the elderly and vulnerable people to introduce themselves.
I always think that if you sit still and can't get up when you meet someone, you look lazy.
In addition to the elderly and the disadvantaged, men and women should generally stand and greet their friends.
Self-introduction When introducing yourself, you should include your first name and surname, but not your first title.
For example, you can't say, "Hello, I'm Mr. Smith." Instead, "Hello, I'm Peter Smith".
Team Introductions When introducing someone to a team, you don't have to walk into the team and mention everyone's name.
Because the person being introduced can't remember so many names.
If the group is small, such as 5~6 people, you can mention everyone's name.
If you have a large team, you can simply introduce the person to a few people standing nearby.
For example, if there are 8~10 people present, you only need to introduce them to the first few people, and let the others introduce themselves.
Introducing the President of the United States Usually, when you introduce someone close to you, the president would say correctly: "Mr. President, allow me to introduce Mrs. Eleanor Sabot." That's enough.
Because it can be assumed that Mrs. Sabot already knows who she is going to meet.
The president always extends his hand first, regardless of whether he meets a man or a woman.
The correct way to meet the President of the United States is to bend down slightly and shake hands.
For most career-oriented men, how to perform well at work is directly related to the realization of self-worth, so I hope that the content of this chapter can really help you effectively in this regard.
