about the person—it can be a conversation starter.

 on conversations—don’t
 just wait for your turn to
 talk!


                                     Don’t Jump!
                              Resist the urge to jump into
                              a conversation when
                              someone pauses in thought.
                               Wait a second or two, then
                              respond.
Basic Manners
• Be Polite
 Remember when you are in a social situation it is important to always be polite and
 respectful of other guests even if you vehemently disapprove of certain comments
 or other individuals are not being polite.
• Ask Appropriate Questions
 When you are socializing it is important to realize you are not at a debate and
 should steer away from questions that might cause one.
• Keep it Short
 In social situations it is always important to understand the nature of social
 etiquette conversation and keep conversations short and socialize with everyone
 present.
 Remember, social etiquette conversation is pleasant and short.
• Eye Contact and Personal Space
 Making eye contact and allowing individuals their personal space is important in all
 conversations. This allows you to seem interested, polite and respectful of the other
 individual which are all social requirements.

    remember names
  • Secret to remembering names
  • Small talk helps us put others at

Mixing and Mingling in Business
                          Prepare in advance
                          Arrive early
                          Position yourself
                          Make eye contact & smile
                          Take responsibility



 Work the crowd
 Use icebreakers
 Ask the right kinds of
 questions
 Be a good listener
 Know when to leave
Body Language
• A person’s posture, facial expressions, and
  gestures send messages.
• Eye contact is the most obvious way you
  communicate. When you are looking at the
  other person, you show interest
• Where you place your arms suggests how
  receptive you. Arms crossed or folded over
  your chest say that you have shut other people
  out and have no interest in them or what they
  are saying.
• Legs talk, too. A lot of movement indicates
  nervousness.
Dressing for the Occasion
  By the time we meet and converse, we have already spoken to each
  other in an older more universal tongue.

• Business professional attire
• Personal props and accessories
• for women: A reasonable length skirt (not mini-skirt) or full-
   length trousers of a non-jeans material combined with a top (such
   as a dress shirt, polo, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An
   informal dress with appropriate skirt length is also acceptable.
• for men: A combination of collared shirt (such as a dress
   shirt or polo shirt), cotton trousers (such as khakis or dress jeans)
   with a belt, and dress shoes (such as loafers) with socks is generally
   acceptable. A blazer or business jacket can optionally be added.
• Unacceptable for either gender: gym clothes, rumpled or
   ripped clothing, miniskirts, underwear as outerwear,
   inappropriately revealing attire such as bare midriffs, and flip-
   flops. Many corporations also frown upon open-toed shoes and
   shorts.
Telephone Etiquettes…

The essence of dealing with people , politely and
efficiently over the phone can be boiled down to…….
telephone etiquettes.

 Everyday, on an average , a person
 Spends more than 3 hours on
 phone…….
 So it becomes mandatory to get
 through the basics of telephone
 etiquettes………
Placing a telephone call…

                   • If you’re making a call,
                     identify yourself first, then
                     ask to speak to the person
                     you’re trying to reach.

On finally reaching the person…

Before jumping into a
deep conversation,
ask if they have time
to talk.                                             19
If you’re on the phone and
  another call comes in…

                Always ask if it’s alright to put
                them on hold
                Always give a brief explanation
                of the reason of hold.

                  Sign Language?
    Do not interrupt someone on
    the telephone by
  gesturing,
  speaking or
  writing them notes!                         20
What about voicemail?
If you must leave a
message, state your name
(spell if they don’t know
you), phone number, date
and reason for the call.
Repeat your phone
number at the end—
SLOWLY.
                 When you are in ANY meeting
                 turn off your cell phone ringer—
                 accept voicemail and text messaging
                 only!                            21
Can you hear me now?
If you have to take a call in a
public place—try to move to a
more private space.
Hearing one-sided
conversations alienates the
person NOT in the
conversation!
                    If you have to talk in a public
                    place (bus, elevator, airplane etc.)
                    keep it short and discreet.
                                                   22

Table Etiquette


A general knowledge and use of
basic etiquette makes the dining
experience more pleasant for
everyone.


  Table manners play an important part in
  making a good impression.
  Here are some basic tips to help you…
Sitting down
At a very formal dinner name cards will show you where
you should sit.

If there are no name cards on the tables, the host will
take you to the correct place.

If you are at a romantic dinner, the man
should push the woman’s chair in for her.

Sometimes the waiter will do this.
Using the napkin
Place the napkin on your lap. If it is small, unfold it
completely otherwise fold it in half, lengthwise.
Once the meal is over, you too should place your
napkin loosely on the table to the right of your dinner
plate.
It should not be crumpled or twisted, which reveal
untidiness or nervousness.
Nor should it be folded, which might show that you
think your host might reuse it without washing.
Ordering

• If there is something you don’t understand on the menu, ask
  your server any questions you may have. Answering your
  questions is part of the server’s job.
• An employer will generally let you order first; his or her
  order will be taken last. Sometimes, however, the server will
  decide who orders first. Often, women’s orders are taken
  before men’s.
• As a guest you should not order one of the
  most expensive items on the menu or more
  than two courses unless your host shows
  that it is all right.
Using the knives, forks and spoons
     When you hold the knife or fork, you should relax your
     fingers.
     Never let the knife, fork or spoon touch the table after
     you started eating.
     When you take a break from eating, you simply put your
     knife and fork on the plate.
     When you have finished eating, you should put your knife
     and fork together pointing to the left.
Eating Meal



Dip the spoon in the soup away from your body. Sip the
liquid from the side of the spoon. Don’t put the whole
spoon in your mouth.
Take some butter and put it on the plate then put some
butter on the small piece. Don’t spread the butter over
the whole piece of bread.

  • 29. Table Etiquette A general knowledge and use of basic etiquette makes the dining experience more pleasant for everyone. Table manners play an important part in making a good impression. Here are some basic tips to help you…
  • 30. Sitting down At a very formal dinner name cards will show you where you should sit. If there are no name cards on the tables, the host will take you to the correct place. If you are at a romantic dinner, the man should push the woman’s chair in for her. Sometimes the waiter will do this.
  • 31. Using the napkin Place the napkin on your lap. If it is small, unfold it completely otherwise fold it in half, lengthwise. Once the meal is over, you too should place your napkin loosely on the table to the right of your dinner plate. It should not be crumpled or twisted, which reveal untidiness or nervousness. Nor should it be folded, which might show that you think your host might reuse it without washing.
  • 32. Ordering • If there is something you don’t understand on the menu, ask your server any questions you may have. Answering your questions is part of the server’s job. • An employer will generally let you order first; his or her order will be taken last. Sometimes, however, the server will decide who orders first. Often, women’s orders are taken before men’s. • As a guest you should not order one of the most expensive items on the menu or more than two courses unless your host shows that it is all right.
  • 33. Using the knives, forks and spoons When you hold the knife or fork, you should relax your fingers. Never let the knife, fork or spoon touch the table after you started eating. When you take a break from eating, you simply put your knife and fork on the plate. When you have finished eating, you should put your knife and fork together pointing to the left.
  • 34. Eating Meal Dip the spoon in the soup away from your body. Sip the liquid from the side of the spoon. Don’t put the whole spoon in your mouth. Take some butter and put it on the plate then put some butter on the small piece. Don’t spread the butter over the whole piece of bread.
