Etiquette (The Greeting)

Good afternoon, Gentleman!

Properly introducing yourself to someone is one of the most important pieces of etiquette and manners that you need to master. This may seem extremely basic and like common sense, but it’s importance cannot be overstated. There are not many days in which you do not talk to someone, so it is essential to become great at introducing yourself and greeting another person. A great greeting leaves a lasting impression and can make a huge difference in how that person thinks of you. Do you seem confident, reliable and capable? A gentleman leaves a positive and lasting impression when greeting another individual.

A classic, tried-and-true method is to simply greet a person much like the first sentence of this post. "Good afternoon, Gentleman!". You simply change "afternoon" with whatever time of the day it is, and address them by name or another appropriate title such as Sir or Ma'am. Couple this with a confident handshake, good eye contact, a smile, and you will be on your way to conquering the world. So get out there gentleman and leave positive and lasting impressions with everyone you meet.

Have a fantastic day!
