Doing Business

Business Etiquette

  • Formal dress is the norm for corporate executives and those working in the legal, consulting, accounting and banking industries. Dress is more casual in other sectors, particularly in the technology domain and particularly during the hot summer weather
  • Appointments should be made and kept punctually. Remember that in the United States the date will be written with the month first, then the day
  • It is customary to open and end a meeting with a handshake
  • Casual conversation, lasting a few minutes, often starts a meeting
  • Business cards can be presented at the start or end of a meeting
  • An open and direct business style is the norm
  • Deals should be followed up and confirmed in writing as quickly as possible
  • Smoking is generally frowned upon and often illegal on business premises
  • If invited to someone's house, it is customary to bring flowers or another gift
