Business Customs
• When meeting someone, and when leaving, use a firm
handshake with good eye contact. Good eye contact means
looking into the other person's eyes when shaking hands, not
looking down at your hand. Men generally wait for a woman
to be the first to extend her hand for a handshake. Women do
shake other women's hands.
• Honesty is the best policy. Don't lie about your product or
service, and don't be a jerk.
• Do not allow your voice to get loud. Maintain a reserved
manner.
• Don’t confuse or compare New Zealand with Australia, they
are two distinct countries.

• Talking is minimal while you are eating a meal. The
conversation will occur before and after your meal. Dinners
are reserved for social interactions only. Lunch is used for
business conversations.
• Supper is a snack served much later in the evening. A tip at a
restaurant may be refused, as tipping is rare.
• Cover your mouth if you must yawn, and do not chew gum or
toothpicks in public.
• Ask permission before you attempt to photograph someone.
