6.
A junior executive should not be the first one
to offer a business card. In the business arena, the senior executive makes the
first move in offering a business card.
7. You're entering a taxi cab
with an important client. You should position yourself so the client is seated
passenger side on the backseat. This is important because when your client
steps out of the car, he or she won't have to deal with getting out in traffic
or sliding across the seat. The place of honor in the USA is the passenger side
back seat whereas in Japan it’s the back seat at the driver’s side.
8. You
should place your name tag on your right
shoulder because during the handshake the other person’s eyes naturally follow
your right arm up to your head to make eye contact, allowing time to slip
another look at your name on your name tag.
9. In the business arena both men
and women should stand for handshaking and all introductions. Business
etiquette has become gender neutral. Women don’t have to hesitate to offer
their hands first and vice versa.
10. The proper way to
shake hands is to give a firm handshake with your right hand. Always stand up
to shake hands and look the person in the eye.
