7.  Who introduces who?
◦ Introduce the person with lesser authority to the person
with higher authority, regardless of gender
◦ Highest person of rank is mentioned first. Remember:
“Big, may I introduce Small.”
◦ A younger person is always introduced to an older
person

◦ Do not include “you to” “ To You” when using the word
introduce

8. Other way of introduction is John Jacob this is Mary
Smith, our new sales officer.
Keep the forms of the address equal. If you use Mr.
Jacob, you must use Ms. Smith. You should not
say, "Jane Jacob this is Ms. Smith.“

9. When introducing members of the opposite sex, use age and rank or
degree of distinction as a guide. If the two people are approximately
the same age, rank and prominence, the woman's name should be
mentioned first.
Or you can introduce the person less acquainted to person more
acquainted
If someone has forgotten to introduce you, take the initiative and
introduce yourself. Smile, extend your hand and say, "My name is
so-and-so. I don't believe we've met.“
Never refer to yourself as Mr., Mrs., Dr. and so on. Other people give
you an honorific. You don't give one to yourself.

10. In general, call a person by his or her first name only
after he or she has given you permission to do so, for
example, "Please call me Shirley." There are, of
course, certain informal settings where first names
would be appropriate.
If someone forgets your name, be quick to supply it in
order to lessen their embarrassment.
If you are unsure of how to pronounce someone's
name, simply say, "I'd really like to pronounce your
name correctly.“

11. When possible, always add a little information to go with a
name. That will give people a springboard for conversation.
For example, "Ms. Smith, this is Dr. Williams, vice
president of marketing." "Ms. Smith is president of XYZ
Company."
Avoid commanding people in the introduction. In other
words, don't say, "Mr. Johnson meet Ms. Logan."
Stand when being introduced. This shows consideration and
respect. If standing would be awkward, however, it is
permissible to remain seated. Always shake hands and
exchange greetings, such as "How do you do?" or "I'm glad
to see you."

12.  When someone has just been introduced to you, your
response should be genuine, short, and simple.
 You should also repeat the person’s name at the end of
your greeting.
 Repeating the name of the person you were just
introduced to serves two purposes: it shows polite respect
and it helps you to remember the person’s name. You can
also add a brief comment about the person (not about
yourself):
 Examples:
 ”It is so nice to meet you, Dr. Wilkins. I have followed your
work for years with much enthusiasm.”
 ”It is wonderful to finally meet you, Dr. Wilkins. I look
forward to working with you.”

13. Responding for social courtesy demands formal
reply using titles, first and last name.
Introduction for business relationship can be bit
relaxed
Be careful in the usage of Mr, Miss and Mrs.

14.  Repeat the person’s name a few times to
yourself after you’re introduced.
 Use the person’s name immediately in the
conversation after an introduction.
 Immediately introduce that new person to
someone else you know.
 Jot down the person’s name
