Business Introduction Sequence

Video Transcript

All right, we're talking about introductions, and I want to mention to you that gender is really irrelevant in the order in which you introduce people to each other. What is relevant is that there actually is an order that you're going to follow and I'm going to talk about it right now. And remember you always use first and last names when you're introducing people, that's absolutely mandatory. When you are introducing people in a business setting, you always want to introduce younger to older. Very important. With peers, let's say everybody has the same title, they all work in the accounting department, no one's ahead of any department, no one has necessarily been there any longer than anyone else, they just are peers. Peer to peer, it doesn't matter. Even if there is somebody that's older in that department, if they are not necessarily a supervisor, not necessarily anything special, then it's, this is Jim Davis, this is Scott Morrow, this is... just introduce peer to peer. And then last, you always want to introduce junior to senior, and I'm not necessarily talking about Bob Riff Junior, I'm talking about the junior executive Steve Randall to the senior executive, Stacey Furrow. So that's real important. Something though that you want to make sure you double check when you're preparing to do introductions for business, check about culture. Now this goes for us here in America, standard business meetings, we're meeting new people, we're doing business with other American companies. But when you start bringing in other countries into the mix, sometimes they have a little bit different order in which they introduce people to each other. So if you're bringing in a group of people from Asia or Ireland or the UK or wherever it is, I strongly recommend that you check their introduction order.
