Tip# 8 & 9


As we finish the first chapter of the book, "Opening Moves" we look at 2 key points.
In tip# 8, the author stresses the importance addressing other individuals by their first name only when granted the permission by that person. As a rule of thumb, if you are meeting someone for the first time, and the person is either prominent within his or her field or at least two decades older, you should address them as Mr./Mrs./Ms. (last name).
As a mental note please, refrain from asking someone permission to use a first name.
To conclude the chapter, Ann Marie explains the 101 on business card exchange! This is a very important tip for someone who is entering the business world! As a general rule, request a business card provided you've offered your own card first. If a person is of significant higher status, wait until they offer you their business card, rather than asking for one.
Hope everyone was able to learn something new within this chapter! Look forward to moving on to a very hot topic: BUSINESS DRESS 101!
