Doing Business Abroad: Etiquette Around the World

This presentation is designed for all types of professionals who deal with any none-American cultures such as Latinos, Europeans, Chinese, Middle Eastern, and south Asians among others. 

The increasingly global business environment requires professionals to learn about etiquettes around the world. Many people are familiar with business in the West, where there is little time for establishing relationships and getting straight down to business is not considered rude.  But in other parts of the world, achieving mutual success with an overseas partner involves a lot more than a few quick meetings and a signature on the dotted line.

Do American businesses work differently from businesses in other countries?
How do you become known as someone others want to do business with, whether across the street, or around the world?
“How can we survive in this global playing field, and what can we do to run our businesses more effectively?”

In this presentation, you will learn about the followings:

Greetings and Introductions
Forms of Address
Use of Business Cards
Meetings and Appointments
Business Lunch or Business Dinner
Negotiating and Getting Job Done
Entertainment and Gift Giving
Email, Telephone, Letters and Memorandum Styles of Communication
Hierarchy and titles
Working Hours
Human Interactions
Work ethics
Verbal and Written Communication
Do's and Dont's Around the World
 

Preparing for a business meeting requires a working knowledge of the information to be discussed or presented, careful attention to all details on the printed material to be distributed, and perhaps a gift.

If you’re willing to be culturally sensitive, you can increase your business with foreign-born consumers. In this presentation, you will learn about some specific tips on working with those from other cultures.

Depending on your needs, the duration of this presentation may vary from one hour to three hours.
