Teach your team, students, or members to make a memorable first impression that guarantees a second meeting, interview, or callback.
The truth is, in business and in life, some rules are meant to be broken. But the rules of common courtesy, professional appearance, and genuinely caring about other humans aren’t ones you want to compromise.
And yet, as we go through life and learn the business skills necessary for our career, there’s no college course designed to show us how to make a great first impression, understanding the dos and don’ts of networking, and why it’s so important to dress for success. These soft skills are the most essential asset you can own as every employer wants them, but not one university teaches soft skills such as how to dine and dress using business etiquette.
According to the business experts at Harvard and Stanford,85% of our success on the job is based on social and people skills. Only 15% comes from technical skills and knowledge.*

THE PURPOSE OF BUSINESS ETIQUETTE
Why invest your time in learning business etiquette? When you know business etiquette, you won’t make a faux pas when you’re networking, which will leave the wrong impression on your networking guest. Understanding and utilizing business etiquette will provide you with an excellent first impression that relays to the businessperson you’re working with and let them know that you have what it takes to handle their business in a quality, professional manner.
What is Business Etiquette?
It’s not (just) about using the right fork.
You can hire the best, the brightest, and the most eager candidates to fill the position. You can train them until they know your mission, product, and services by heart and can recite the perfect pitch in their sleep. However, if they…
☒ Show up late to an important meeting
☒ Wear a wrinkled shirt that’s two sizes too big
☒ Copy a client on an email not meant for their eyes
☒ Answer their phone during a business networking lunch
☒ Never follow up after the meeting —
or worse, their follow-up is canned and generic
☒ Display unhardy and cave-man-like table manners
Then you won’t have a second meeting with the potential client you took out to lunch or dinner.
Because when it comes to making a great first impression, feeling confident in any professional setting, and building genuine business relationships, the difference between those who create lifetime clients and those who get sent straight to voicemail is an essential set of soft skills they don’t teach in most universities and business schools.
