Basic Rules of Greeting
INTRODUCTION
 Having good ability of business English conversation is

important because it helps people to establish a sound
relationship with workmates.
 All the relationships begin with greetings.
 If you meet people for the first time, your fluent self-
introduction and friendly greeting will make the positive first
impression on them and vice versa.
 Remember, ‘the first’ impression can never be re-made
because it is formed when you ‘first’ meet.
 Your self-introduction and greeting in the first meeting may
decide whether the other person will like or trust you or not
in the future!
 Once you get to know a new workmate, greetings remain

important.
 Whenever you greet, you are advised to be polite and
thoughtful.
 People tend to assume that those who greet are nice to work
with.
 Without greeting, the atmosphere in the office will seem stiff,
unfriendly and indifferent.
 Greetings work like motor oil which makes all parts of the
machine operate smoothly.
 Try to leave a good impression on others as well as make busy
life more pleasant to deal with!
