Again, business relations
...arrive on time for an appointment. Five to ten minutes early is better - gives receptionist time to announce you. Late is NEVER acceptable.
...Time is not told on a 24 hour clock but a 12 hour p.m. and a.m. schedule...never say, "I will be there at 15:00" but rather say "I will be there at 3:00" (arrive at 2:50 )
…Lunch is at noon. Dinner is anytime around 6:00 or 7:00 (18:00 ou 19:00)
...have a printed business card. A business card printed on your computer, with those little marks where you had to tear it off a sheet, looks unprofessional.
...do not kiss a business acquaintance on the cheeks. Shake hands. Your handshake should be firm but not overly so; this is not a strongman contest. It should not last more than the time it takes to say “un pamplemousse, deux pamplemousses.”
