Do You Know How to Enter a Room?

aztecconnect — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 17:09:19 +0000

When entering a room for a meeting or an event you want to leave a good impression that will last. Here is a list of do’s and don’ts you should consider:

Do:

When people introduce themselves, say their name back to them or make a mental note. 20-30 minutes later, say their name again when you are talking to them. This will show your respect toward them and they will in turn remember you.
Look everyone in the eye.
Shake everyone’s hand if there are 5 or less in the room. If there are 6 or more people in the room, shake around 5 hands and then nod amiably to the rest. You do not want the shaking to get out of hand.

Don’t:

Give out business cards right away – it makes you look like a blackjack dealer.
Give fist bumps!
Talk about anything unpleasant like the bad traffic you were just in or a cold that you might have.

Watch this quick video on these do’s and don’ts from Entrepreneur Magazine. Stand out and be remembered at your next meeting.
