Can business etiquette make or break a deal?

When dining out, other people do notice how you conduct yourself at the dinner table and whether you possess good table manners or you lack in what is commonly referred to as dining etiquette. Most people believe they have good table manners and above average dining etiquette skills. However, we have found that most people don't even possess the basics, let alone the finer points. One of the most popular comments that we hear after a dining etiquette seminar is, "I thought my table manners were quite good, but did I ever learn a lot." Whether you are an executive in need of refining your dining skills and how to host, a professional who is constantly entertaining clients, or an individual who wants to appear more confident and poised when dining out, we have a program for you.
The business meal is more than a meal - it's a time that business relationships are developed, networking is done and deals are made. A lack of social graces and poor table manners can cause embarrassment and lead to a business deal going astray. Where the person or persons you are trying to impress are more focused on your faux pas and not the business at hand.
Choose a public tutorial for yourself or your organization or a private tutorial for your organization. This tutorial is presented along with a 3-4 course meal. Participants will learn what is needed to successfully entertain and socialize during a business meal.
