visitor in your office, you should tell him/her where to sit. Indicating where

12. You're scheduled to
meet a business associate for a working lunch and you arrive a few minutes
early to find a suitable table. Thirty minutes later your associate still
hasn't arrived. You are not obligated to wait any longer; you should order your
lunch and eat. You've waited 30 minutes. Expect an apology later, though
13. If a meeting is scheduled for
9:00am, you should arrive not earlier than 8:50am, which gives you ten minutes
to get organized.

It is appropriate to tell business associates that their zipper is open;
otherwise they will be embarrassed once they realize their zipper has been
open. Take that person aside and subtly advise him/her to zip up. This rule
also applies to food or lipstick on teeth and other potentially embarrassing
situations.
15. When receiving a business card
take the time to look at it because a card is representative of the person and
their business. Write pertinent notes on the card later, not in the person’s
presence.
