Business etiquette

Rule 8. Practice professionalism and courtesy in all modes of communication.

Each interaction needs to be professional, whether it be in person, over the phone, or via email.

The tone of voice, facial expressions, and other nonverbal indicators that go along with communication are absent when you speak exclusively through text. When drafting emails, keep this in mind. Send only what you would say in person, keeping communications succinct and to the point.


Rule 9. Consistently be clean and practice good hygiene.

Always practice proper hygiene, no matter what you're wearing or where you are going. Hairbrush and nice aroma are mandatory. Cut your beard short. Keep your fingernails clean. Ensure that your attire smells fresh. Anyone who smells like fried food and body odor is unpleasant to sit next to or work with. Cleanness and accuracy must be a living style of every successful personality.

Rule 10. It's a treat if you invite other people to a work lunch.

You can use lunch meetings to get to know a coworker better, win over an investor, or learn more about a client's demands. As a general rule, the one who offers the invitation pays the meal. Sometimes business people offer share the bill or pay the bill, this is also another way of business etiquette to use, however, you need to insist politely that it is your treat.

Rule 11. Table etiquette and table manners are important.

There are some particular meal manners that you should be aware of. There are still many of the restrictions that your parents imposed at the dinner table.

Avoid talking or chewing with your mouth open.
No elbows are allowed on the table.
Don't use the napkin to blow your nose. For blowing nose use special restroom.
At the meal, refrain from using your phone or sending texts.
If you order a messy dish from the menu, it may be tough to eat and do business at the same time. Avoid finger foods such as oysters and chicken wings. Where you eat might affect the regulations. You should be aware of the table arrangements if you are dining in a five-star, upscale establishment in order to use them appropriately.


Rule 12. Maintain a tidy work circumstance.

You will be distracted and irritated by a desk that is crowded with used coffee cups, stacks of paper, and more Post-It notes than there is room for.

How will you manage your job if you can't maintain your desk tidy and organized? Colleagues, customers, and others will consider this question.
Clean up your working place since it speaks to both your company and your professional image. Develop a well-organized system, do some monthly dusting, and throw waste away right away in the trash. In all cultures clean and accurate work environment make people enthusiastic and creative.
