Tip # 3 is knowing the value of a good handshake.
For this tip Ann Marie explains how important this one small gesture can be. She explains the difference between a limp, overpowering, and a sincere handshake.
The author gives tips for knowing how to a good handshake:
- -Clasp the other person's palm with your palm, rather than fingers to fingers
-Do not be so firm that you squeeze the other person's hand too hard. (simply apply a little pressure and let go)
-If you know the person well and wish to convey additional warmth, then place your free hand on top of the clasped hand or on the other person's arm or shoulder.
If you are going to another country, learn what the customs are there for shaking hands. This is very important even when not leaving your country. As businesses engage in a more global economy we need to know and understand other cultures' basic business behaviors.
