Common Mistakes - Introductions in Business Meetings

Common Mistakes - Introductions in Business Meetings - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Introductions can be very difficult and stilted. In business, a junior is introduced to a senior. There is no gender difference. In terms of introductions, a woman is not more important than a man. The senior name comes first. For example, "Senior, I would like to introduce to you Junior." Most people forget to add a little tidbit after the introduction. It gives the two newly introduced people something to talk about. A big mistake is pointing or using hand gestures. Your eyes should be the pointer. Another common faux pas is introducing someone's title before their name. Our VP Bill, my wife Mary. Remember, the name always comes first. They are more important than their title.
