32、y meeting, what is the most important thing is to leave a good impression on the guest.

Different countries have different requirements of clothes. In China, women should not wear revealing cloth

35、es. Because Chinese are conservative. If we go to Tessie country, we must not wear the cross.

36、ppointment in advance, we should determine the corresponding reception specifications and programs according to the visitors status, identity. Receiving general visitors in the office ask us to listen more, speak less. 2.2 The etiquette of introduction Business reception starts from introduction as

37、all business activities begin from business reception. The introduction is an important means of building a lasting relationship between parties. It is divided into one-to-one introduction and one-to-many introduction. If considering the two parties are present, we can also divide the introduction i

38、nto two ways: introduction of others and self-introduction. The first impression through introduction plays a critical role in the business intercourse. Therefore, it is of importance for businessmen to understand and abide by the relevant etiquette of introduction in business intercourse. Self intr

39、oduction is an important means of exhibiting yourself. A good or bad introduction directly affects our first impression on people. In business intercourse, some small etiquette should be paid attention in self introduction. For example，lf a salesman is meeting a new customer at the first time, he mi

40、ght begin talking by extending his hand and saying “Good Afternoon! I am”If a businessman has been introduced earlier to a client at the first time, it is rather difficult to remember name for the client. Under normal circumstances，it is necessary for people to give his or her card to the other part

41、y before going on conduct self introduction ,because he or she will be understood very quickly through the information exhibited on cardsThen，people should introduce about his or her name，the name of his or her company and the matter. Keep in mind that when we first introduce our institutions and de

42、partments to the guests, dont forget to use full name. Beside these, in interpersonal intercourse, we often need to build a friendly relationship with each other. As a receptionist，introduction of others is also a way of acquainting with people who meet each other at the first time. Introduction of

43、other people usually not only can improve the cooperation and friendship, but also can reflect the ability of reception staffs. Introduction of others have its own etiquette. In traditional social situations，a man is always introduced to a woman and the young to the elderHowever, in business interco

44、urse, the sequence of introduction is generally decided by the position from high to low to introduce. If the other party is in lower position, he should be introduced to the high-ranking people of the company.For example，if Mary , the vice director, and Jack，the vice directory for certain product,

45、have met at the first time, you would introduce them by saying Mary，this is Jack . If two people are in equal rank, a man should be introduced earlier to a woman, and a younger person to an older person. In a word, the other role of introducing other people is that when you conduct an introduction,

46、you should give some related information about the two sides. For example，you can introduce your employer to the manager by saying“ Manager, let me introduce Mr. Aril to you，he is my secretaryThe related information he is my secretary is given after introducing the nameThe image of the reception sta

47、ff represents enterprises image, so when we establish a good image, we build the good image of our enterprise at the same time.However, different countries are fond of different introductions which are influence by their culture. In China, people prefer to formal introduction under the influence of

48、Confucianism. Take 张经理for example. If we want to introduce to other people in English，we should say ,this is Mr. Zhang, Manager of the company. However, English prefer informal introduction. They are very fond of using their first name in the procession of introduction. If we plan to introduce Maris

49、 Read to Rose Nia, we can say, Rose Nia, we would like to have a meeting with Maris Read.

While Englishmen give more emphasis on objective words to introduce a pe
