Also last woman was entitled to expect that the business partner or colleague, if he is a man, will he give her coat. Today, she has to put on his own. It is necessary to monitor such changes, since failure to comply with certain conventions might offend partners.
Very simple rules that do not change from year to year, a total of five. Follow them is not difficult. As appropriate person and doing these simple things, you can always count on the understanding, if we assume some minor errors in etiquette.
1. Be punctual. It seems that it is so simple, but how many people make their tardiness others to doubt their abilities and skills. Tardiness will not be tolerated, not only in business meetings, but also in the execution of projects. Try to count the timing and firmly adhere to them.

3. Dress in business style, but do not forget about your personality. Stick to the conventional style for business people, but do not be a "robot".
4. Speak correctly. Good diction and competent speech - an indicator of adequate human. Problems with pronunciation - that's no reason to put up with them, refer to the speech therapist who will wash to remove them.
5. Observe the interests of business partners and colleagues. Respect other people's opinions and listen to it.
