Business Etiquette Training – Course Outline
Overview of Business Etiquette
We consider what etiquette involves and the benefits of taking care with your personal appearance and actions.
Dressing for Success
How you look is the first step in presenting a professional image. It tells a story, so let’s make it the story you want to tell.
The Meet and Greet
Meeting people is an important part of doing and developing business, and so it is important to make the most of the first meeting. We discuss the key aspects of effective networking, and how to continue to impress after the initial introductions.
Other Communications
Communication in business also happens via email, phone and letters. We discover the general and specific guidelines for each of those mediums, to ensure best-practice communication.
Social Settings
Conducting business over meals is a great way to build relationships in a more casual atmosphere. We negotiate the etiquette minefield of business dining as well as finding a few solutions to sticky situations.
Intercultural Etiquette
Etiquette is heavily influenced by culture; each country and region has its own set of rules for polite behaviour. In our multicultural society, or when conducting business overseas, it’s important to be aware of etiquette variations.
