Business Manners Matter!

Have you noticed people at business meetings or lunches, mobile phones out, checking and responding to emails and texts?  Or have you been in a conversation with someone, and they answer a text?  This seems to be the norm. 

Business etiquette is important to your success. But rules change over time. How do you avoid an etiquette blunder?  Is it OK to leave your cellphone out during a business lunch and respond to emails?  Ever wonder about the appropriate dress for a business function? How do you  introduce new people to those around you? What about your handshake--what does it say about you? How best to give a business card to others?  

In Business Etiquette Basics (CRN 70839, beginning 7/23 at CCBC Essex), we’ll discuss these topics, and more.  Relationships are key to business.  Avoid making an etiquette blunder!
