NABA SRSC - Professionalism and Business Etiquette, Peter Margaritis
Professionalism and business etiquette mean more than knowing which fork to use at lunch with a client, or what color belt you should wear with your socks. Professionalism and business etiquette is more about presenting yourself with the kind of polish that shows you can be taken seriously. This kind of polish extends itself to how you present yourself to your clients but even more importantly, how you present yourself to your company.

Don’t Be “That Guy” or “That Girl”
• See “that guy” over there. He got so drunk at the client function that he tried to hook up with the CFO’s wife.”
• See “that girl” over there. She got so drunk at happy hour that she started doing her old high school cheers....on top of the bar.
