BUSINESS ETIQUETTE | GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS.

It is a common courtesy to greet both customers and visitors to your business in a friendly and professional manner. It is also common sense that most companies expect their employees to act professionally and to pay great attention to how they greet visitors.

In any business situation, but especially in an international setting and when communicating in a foreign language, it is imperative that you also pay attention to the societal norms of different cultures and their customs.

For instance, in most western cultures, the handshake is a common greeting which is also used to conclude business dealings. In American culture, the handshake is a sign that a deal has been agreed upon by all parties, and politicians from all countries vie for the obligatory handshake photo opportunity with visiting dignitaries.

Learn more about the handshake and other greetings in episode 2 of BizPod.

Hola! Bienvenidos/as a un nuevo podcast SOBRE VIAJES! Mi nombre es CAMILA, soy de Buenos Aires - En este podcast hablo sobre la fascinación que tienen/tenemos todos por grabarlo todo cuando viajamos (en realidad, lo hacemos muchas veces cuando no viajamos también) - Esta especie de 'necesidad' de documentarlo todo. ¿Para qué grabamos un concierto de nuestra banda favorita? ¿Volvemos a ver esos videos alguna vez? ¿Se los mostramos a otras personas? ¿Los publicamos en las redes?


Acompañame en este podcast, practica tu español conmigo y contame en un comentario qué pensas sobre esto!

DALE PLAY!


Disfruta de aprender

¿Por qué grabamos todo con nuestros teléfonos?

This is the introduction to my podcast where you can practice speaking from anywhere at anytime! This podcast is designed for beginners to help build confidence before booking a lesson with a native speaker.
