Business Etiquette Tips

1.A short and light, not firm, handshake is the customary start to a business meeting. It is advisable to start the meeting with 'small talk' and only after that to pass to business matters. During the meeting it is customary to address your colleagues with the title that signifies their status: "Professor X" or "Mr. X" or Miss X" with the name that follows the title being the surname and not a first name.

2.Business cards should be exchanged at the beginning of a business meeting. Take care before the meeting to have an adequate supply of business card that will be sufficient for all those present at the meeting.

3.When presenting gifts, take care that the gift-wrapping is neither black nor white as these are believed to bring bad luck. On the other hand, the colors that are thought to bring good luck are red, green and yellow. 
Acceptable gifts are flowers, chocolate, perfume and small electronic goods. 

4.During meetings, try not to stand with your hands on your hips.
