Proper business etiquette is extremely important on the job. It is important that an employee demonstrates appropriate dress, manners, speech, and communication skills in the workplace.
It is very common for business meetings to be conducted over lunch or dinner. People who exhibit appropriate etiquette techniques during these formal or informal meal meetings have an edge over others.
The business meal has become standard operating procedure in Canada and North America. Professionals must be as sharp at a meal as in the conference room, maybe even more so. There will be banquets, meal meetings, or cocktail parties. You have to prepare yourself for small talk and proper etiquette rules, and the use of place settings, use of utensils, and glasses.
During the first seven seconds of a meeting, people have already formed their opinions of you. Those first impressions can be good or bad depending on a lot of factors. People decide whether they like someone almost immediately after first seeing them. Turnoffs include: appearance, bad breath, weak handshake, lack of eye contact, poor posture, or a dull unsmiling facial expression. A poor first impression is only compounded when, during the meal, you use the wrong utensil, or place your napkin wrong, or any of the other unaccepted table manners are exhibited.
