Business Dining Etiquette: Business Lunches

Meeting colleagues or prospective clients for lunch is slightly different than business social gatherings.  The atmosphere is not as relaxed or casual and the stakes are slightly higher.  This is a time when you want to make the best first impression you can, so here are some things to remember.  Always be on time, if you have to, arrive early, sit and wait and consider how you want to make your initial introduction or if you haven’t done so, take the extra time to refresh the information about the business of the person you are meeting for lunch.  Rules of thumb, its better to wait, then show up late.  Remain attentive, make small talk and if you did the inviting, you are responsible for the check.  Also, if you are meeting with someone who has saved you money or made you money, pick up the tab and sending a gift afterwards will ensure that they will do the same for you in the future.  Remember, let your proper business manners speak loud and clear.
