Part 1Giving the Basics Down
1. Find an opening. If you want to introduce people to each other, then it is important to get the right time. You do not have to end after the presentations have even started to start by interrupting a fantastic conversation just to get the details about how each other or the wrong people. Here's what you need to know:If you find yourself talking to two people who do not know each other, try to imagine as soon as possible. That may be a little tricky Let's say you're with your college roommate, Amanda, if you have your high school friend, Jake, who starts in a story of a common friend. Poor Amanda will be there and guinder and boring, while Jake hang out. It is important to find an opening, so you can include Amanda in the conversation.
You should imagine someone standing in the middle of a serious conversation. Maybe you are at an event working with a client, and warns you wanting to introduce it to your boss. Although this is an important introduction that should be done, you should avoid doing this if your boss seems to be stuck in a conversation with another person. You must wait for an opening, if your boss does not seem very absorbed; The introduction of lead at the wrong time, people may because they can not put off so well.
2. know which person has a higher rank or an authority in a social context. It is important to know that the person of lower rank or the authority of the higher person or authority must always be presented. In general, in a social situation is the family of the "master card" and determines the higher rank; Women are always commanded over men unless the man is much older than the woman. After this age is the next crucial factor; An elderly person is classified on a young person who can be a useful distinction when both people of the same sex are. Here's what you should know:
Your 70-year-old mother-in-law is older than your new friend brand.
Grand Age has priority over most rank or authority, courtesy and respect. My old eighty year old male neighbor should be higher than your 14 year old niece (for most people).
All things being equal, the person who you experienced the longest to be called first: your junior friend introduce your old friend
Social Introductions Men are usually women presented as a sign of respect. Gender is not a factor in business circles where rank is important.
Their parents hold a higher rank than your friends.
3. know which of the two has a higher rank or an authority in a business context. In a context of businesswomen still have a higher ranking than men, and the elderly still rank higher than the young, but the position outweighs age and gender. This means that if a young man has a higher position as a woman, this woman must be presented to the man, because man will have the higher rank. In fact, when it comes to a business context, "Position" determines first rank, and then comes sex and age. Here's what you need to know:
Your boss will rank higher or more authority than your colleague, partner or best friend.
His older colleague has priority over your young colleagues.
Your client or client must be presented to your employees.
If you imagine people rank equal in the business world, you introduce the person you do not know the person you know best. You must tell the name of the person you know best first.
4. Always say the name of the person with a higher rank and present the person of lower rank to them. This can be a bit confusing, but it means that you have to indicate the name of the top person and then you "present" the other person. This makes the person of higher rank than the most important in the circumstances. Here are some examples:
Run a friend or an important other for a parent. The parent has a higher rank, "Dad, I want you to begegst my friend, Danny. "
Define a business partner specific to a parent. "Mr. CEO, I would like to introduce Mr. Ling Sous"
Ask a customer for a business partner. "Mr. Customer is Mr. Money, my partner"
Put a young person to an older version, "Lord Oldson, I want you to meet Sally Youngling. "
Make a man a woman before, "Mary is Jeff. "
In a business context, you can prioritize on sex. If Mr Thomas is a senior man like Mrs Davis, Mr Thomas obtains superior authority because of his financial situation, even though Mrs Davis is a woman 'Mr Thomas, I'll introduce Ms. Davis. "
5. General information to help people start a conversation. You should do it only after you have people introduced. If they have enough to talk about their own, that's fine, but if you're trying to facilitate a business conversation, or just to help people socialize at a party before they pass, then you Can take a connection wire available that can let people talk themselves or give a little more information about each person and guide them to establish the connection. You can help connect people by mentioning a common interest, a place they both know well, or even a person they both know. Here are some examples of ways to connect people:
"Elizabeth, have you learned Fitzwilliam?" I think you both share a love for Jane Austen's reading while walking on the moors. "
"Mom, this is my friend, Stacy. She gives classes in your yoga studio. "
"Mr. Jones, here Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith helped me on the Connor account, we never closed the account, if there was not your help, Mr. Jones. "
"Mary, I love you, meet Mark my neighbors. Mark is actually a published writer, Mary has just begun to write creative writings. "
"Amy, you met Rick, Rick did work with Jeff, your roommate, Jeff is not the greatest?" I wish he could be here tonight ... "
Part 2
Control the label
1. Make a formal introduction correctly. Most formal introductions relate to the workplace, but they can also take place at formal social events, or if you are with distinguished people. If you present people in a formal setting, you must use the first and last names of the people, as well as the sentences "I can introduce you", "I would like to introduce you" or "Have you met. ... "Some people think you should not use the word" introduce "because this can cause confusion or turn out to be too direct, but it's up to you to decide. Here's what you should do:First name the person of higher rank or authority.
Use first and last name, and include any title such as "Dr./Sir". For example, "Dr. Jones, can I introduce Stephanie Smith." Dr. Jones is my professor of art history. "Stephanie is a great art history."
Include relevant details when you present both together, such as any established relationship you have with the person you are presenting. For example, you could say, "Mr. Boss, may I introduce Mark Jones. Mr. Boss is my boss. Mark Jones is my partner.
2. Make an informal introduction correctly. For a less formal occasion, like your backyard barbecue, you can simply introduce the two people by name by saying something like "Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet". You can also connect people in a more casual way and say something like "I am unhappy to meet you ..." In an informal setting, you may worry less about how to say everything and nothing about doing Speak to people.
The use of first names is simple in informal situations.
3. Introduce the group correctly. In this case, you will have to spend a little time presenting the newcomer to each individual in the group, unless it is a small informal group where a general introduction would suffice and no time or Disturbs the appointment of each member of the group. You have the group's attention.
For more formal groups, introduce the newcomer to the whole group, then take the newcomer to each person and introduce by his name: "Caroline, it's Fitzwilliam, my boss, Lydia is Fitzwilliam, my boss, "etc. Continue to browse the group this way.
Although you may think it's fun or just easier to say, "Mary, that's everyone. Everyone is Mary", that does not contribute to a conversation. Moreover, it is rude to "everyone" because it seems that you do not believe it is worth it for Mary to know every person. Of course, use your discretion: if you are at a strong party and Mary has arrived there, it may be difficult to present twelve new faces immediately. Instead, facilitate Mary in the conversation and introduce her to a few people at a time.
4. Do not repeat the names or reverse the introduction. In formal and informal cases, you do not need to reverse the introductions. It is obvious to both parties who is who. Repeating names or reversing the introduction can make things a little tedious, and you will make a social mistake.
5. Be sensitive when you do not know a person's name. We were all there. You're trying to introduce two people when you realize you've completely forgotten the name of the person standing in front of you. There are two approaches you can take:
Excuse yourself with passion and say, "I'm so sorry, would you remind me your name?"
Try to be sneaky. Say: "Have the two of you met?" Then take a break and wait for people to show up. This is not a perfect maneuver, but this can help you in a pinch, especially if you have forgotten the name of a person you have met on several occasions!
6. Use common sense to decide what to call people. The general rule is that you should introduce people to each other by what you normally call. For example, if you are excellent friends with your former teacher, Lucy Houston, you can simply introduce her to your boyfriend as "Lucy," if that's what you always call. If you are in a more formal situation and the person did not allow you to call him by his first name and you always called the person by "Dr." Or "Sir", then you should continue to do so.
If in doubt, opt for the more formal option. It's better to tell your boss: "You can call me Bob instead of Mr." Instead of having your boss groomed when you call him "Bob" instead of "Sir"
