Document Summary
The importance of a handshake: you will always remember a bad handshake. The exchange of business cards should be ritualistic not casually tossed about like pieces of papers: business cards are one"s identity and deserve mutual respect. Should be put away after concluding and leaving your meeting with the card"s owner. It is about conveying a professional image dressing appropriate for the function you"re attending. Pay attention to grooming and the little details. If you wear high heals, make sure you can walk (no bambis) Clothes pressed, clean, in good condition (no missing buttons, tears, splits, etc. ) For ladies, make-up is applied to convey a professional appearance. For men and ladies, bling is kept to a minimum. Text speak has no place in email ensure your writing skills are strong. If you meet someone and exchange a business card, send a quick follow up email.
