Q: How important is a proper introduction?A: The ability to give and respond to introductions properly is a key element to a total professional image. It's important because failing to correctly introduce others is noticed and causes embarrassment and discomfort to those around you. It doesn't make you look good. Q: What are introductions based on?A: In the business arena, all introductions are based on power and precedence. Gender does not affect the order of introductions. . Q: What is wrong with a simple "Hello" with first introductions?A: "Hello," is never enough. You should always include the person's name you are speaking to. Saying the name with the first greeting of a new acquaintance will help you remember their name. Q: Is it all right to break into a conversation of two people speaking by themselves?A: It is best not to attempt an entrance of conversation when only two people are engaged. It may be a private conversation. If you are not acknowledged after only a couple of moments it is best just to move on to a group of three or more persons.
