Ways to Avoid Commonly Made Business Introduction Mistakes

• Always wear name tags on the right side rather than your left.
• Always stand when someone approaches you or wishes to introduce themselves
• Remember to repeat the name of the person you have recently met within the same conversation.
• Men should always shake a woman's hand rather than her fingers
• Women should make all of their handshakes firm and extend the gesture to business associates outside of the standard business setting i.e. the supermarket or shopping malls.
