Description
One of MPI's Top 10 Best Sellers. Even in today's more casual workplace, it is imperative that we still mind our manners.Are there any rules on cell phone use for business? Now that we have e-mail, is a hand-written thank-you note necessary or even expected? How do you begin a conversation at a business cocktail party? Who sits where at a business dinner? What do the items on your desk tell others about you? What do you wear to a trade show? Do any of these issues matter today? In our fast-paced business world, they matter even more than in the past. We don't have the luxury of time to get to know each potential contact we meet on a more personal level. We do judge others by first appearances. Colleen Rickenbacher helps you navigate the tricky and not-always clear rules for a professional in this easy-to-read book of etiquette on every facet of business: travel, dress, communication, tipping, entertaining, dining, networking, and organizing. (Colleen Rickenbacher served the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau for fifteen years as vice president of event planning and now owns her own company.)
