- Common Business Card Exchange Etiquette
Exchanging cards is indeed a common social etiquette in the business world, but rushing to hand out cards will be very annoying. Stereotype action gives a bad impression. Don’t be too aggressive during the whole process. When meeting for the first time, you should seize the opportunity to understand the background of the counterparty, introduce yourself in short. It’s more important to be remembered for your expertise and uniqueness than to exchange contacts. Wait to be asked for your card. If an individual is interested in connecting with you beyond the event, he or she will ask about ways to contact you. This is the right time to give out your name card.
- Make impression and open up conversations with trending news
If you think eating as a means of survival, you will never truly enjoy food. Taste and appreciate food from the heart, try new dishes to broaden your horizons, and jump out of your comfort zone. Get deeper understanding of different ingredients and cooking methods. Over time, you will become a “foodie”, and it will be easier to open up a conversation. Sharing from food reviews, trending news, and latest shopping information, you will become the star of the night. Business networking takes time to build and maintain.
- “Food tasting” is a way to make bonding
When you gradually becomes a food radar, you can start searching good restaurant. Once there is a good one, introduce to your network by organizing a “food tasting” night. The quality of restaurant presents who you are. The event is the reflection of your image. People are bonding to each other if they have common interest. Tried delicate dishes with ladies, spicy hotpot with Asian or Stunning bar with strategy investor. With strengthening affinity and trust, cooperation opportunities will naturally be increased. You will become unbeatable.
