- Making an appointment for a meeting is most necessary, usually 1-3 weeks beforehand.
- It is best to arrive on time even though you may be kept waiting. One usually has to wait longer depending on the seniority of the person they are meeting.
- Beginning with small talk helps establish a base for the relationship, after which discussion of business matters can begin. Wait for your host to initiate.
- Appropriate small talk topics include: soccer, literature, music. Avoid talking and asking about politics, the Falklands War, and personal matters.
