"People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel." (Maya Angelou) Business etiquette enables a company to function smoothly in its interactions with other businesses, its own employees and the general public. Business etiquette extends beyond the office. When you are required to attend a business lunch, it is important that you adhere to tableside etiquette standards as well as business etiquette. People with good manners can win over their colleagues and counterparts and people with poor conduct may miss out on a business opportunity.
