7. Self intro

8. Introducing Yourself
If you were not introduced by someone
else, begin to speak in an audible
voice a greeting and your name.
Also add any personal information you think may help them remember
who you are.
“Hello, nice to meet you. I am Eric Sudhakar. I work for Genpact”
One to group

9. Introductions
• Introduce an individual (with first and last name) to the
group first, then the group to the individual. For
example:
Hi everyone, this is Dr. Beena John.'Dr. Beena John, I'd
like you to meet my team Kiran, Sharath and Michael.
• If you're introducing someone who has a title, include
the title.
Man to woman

10. A Man to a Woman

11. A Man to a Woman
• The word "present" makes this introduction
the most formal of all introductions.
• The same introduction may also be made in the
following ways, "Ms. Benhur, I would like to
introduce Mr. Sudheer,"
Younger to older

12. Younger Person to Older

13. Younger Person to Older
• Introduce a younger person to an older person of the same
gender;
"Miss Older, may I present Miss Younger?"
"Miss Younger, have you met Miss Older?"
• An exception to this rule is made if the younger person is the
more distinguished of the two. Others are introduced to a
distinguished person; as, "Miss Distinguished, may I present
Mrs. Brown?"
• You may also omit "May I present," or, "May I introduce,"
when introducing two men; say, "Mr. Older, Mr. Younger,"
or, "Mr. Older, have you met Mr. Younger?"
Less to more

14. Less Prominent to More Prominent

15. Less Prominent to More Prominent
• Introduce the less prominent person to the more prominent person,
regardless of the gender of the individuals.
• However, if a considerable age difference lies between the two, it is far more
courteous to make introductions in deference to age, regardless of social
rank. For example:
Prakash, I'd like you to meet
Dr. Susheel Smith.
A great rule of thumb:
Always say the name of the most important
person first.
