最“自然”的商務(wù)寒暄:中英文對(duì)話
    做介紹是比較嚴(yán)肅的事情,夸夸其談并不被欣賞。
    初次見面,一般采用握手的禮節(jié)。握手者雙目注視對(duì)方,微笑,問候,致意,不要看第三者或顯得心不在焉。除了關(guān)系親近的人可以長久地把手握在一起外,一般都是握一下即可。上下級(jí)之間,上級(jí)伸手后,下級(jí)才能接握;主人與客人之間,主人宜主動(dòng)伸手;男女之間,女方伸手后,男方才能伸手相握;當(dāng)然,如果男方為長者,則遵照前面所說的方法。
    不要使自己有緊盯或逼視對(duì)方的樣子,才被認(rèn)為有禮貌。與人談話時(shí),不要用手指指人,不宜與對(duì)方離得太遠(yuǎn)或太近。不要過于興奮,過多的手勢(shì)會(huì)被認(rèn)為不得體。
    對(duì)女士衣飾可予以贊揚(yáng),但不要問人家是花多少錢買來的等問題。
    要牢記對(duì)方的姓名和職位。
    為使交談進(jìn)行下去,可以開始純屬交際性的談話,如天氣等,這在很多國家都是可行的。
    要把在座的每一個(gè)人都介紹到。除了介紹名字之外,提供一些個(gè)人背景情況,有助于介紹雙方進(jìn)一步交談。
    西方人通常不像中國人和日本人那樣在介紹時(shí)彼此遞送名片,他們通常只有在商務(wù)活動(dòng)中才使用名片。
