WEEK 4
“BEING INTRODUCED”
YOU DO:
Repeat the person’s name to whom you are being introduced.
YOU DON’T:
Just say “hello” and think that covers it.
WHY:
Repeating a person’s name back helps you remember their name for future reference, an invaluable asset.
YOU DO:
Stop what you are doing when you are being introduced.
YOU DON’T:
Simply wave the hot dog you’re eating at the ball game toward the person you’re being introduced to.
WHY:
If someone thinks enough of you to introduce you to someone else, don’t embarrass everyone — especially yourself– by acting as if you couldn’t be bothered.
- A Lady smiles and makes eye contact with the person she is being introduced to.
- A lady remembers that first impressions are lasting impressions.
- If the person making introductions has somehow forgotten your name, a lady comes to the rescue by offering it herself. “Hello, I’m Mandy” is all that is needed to save the situation.
