Tip # 2: Know whom to introduce first

Ann Marie's second tip is one I've never stopped to think of before but that will sure come in handing from now on!

Tip #2: Know whom to introduce first
How many times have you been in a situation when you are introducing two different people and don't know which one to introduce first? Then once you do, you wonder if it was the correct move?
Well according to the book, you should introduce the person with the highest status first.
But what happens if they are on the same professional level? Who should you introduce first?
Ann Marie makes it simple: Introduce the person you know the least about first. This make them feel like they are apart of the conversation and more at ease.
From my point of view, this will also allow you to avoid the awkward silent moment that comes after introductions when you do not know much about the person you introduced last. When you are searching for something to say or praying someone else says something!
Very good tip, one I will be sure to keep in the back of my mine and hopefully use more often.
