ENTERTAINING WITH EASE

 Don’t Make Mistakes

That Could Cost You Money

  

Sure, you went to good schools.  You have experience.  You have street smarts.  But are you ready for prime time?  Or does your company or client shudder at the thought of you representing them to the public? 

Using business protocol expert Gloria Petersen’s e-book, Business Entertaining with Ease will ensure that you conduct yourself with self-confidence and make a positive lasting impression whether you are hosting or participating in an event or celebration dinner.

If you are not getting those promotions you know you deserve, or landing that important client, it is time to ask why.  It is time to polish your personal presentation: Do you know what clothes to wear in which circumstances?  Do you know how to host a formal party? Do you know how to conduct yourself at a private club?

Gloria Petersen does . . . and she explains it all in a straightforward, down-to-earth way in Business Entertaining with Ease.  This e-book is an essential reference tool, complete with a clickable Table of Contents that allows you to instantly go to any area of interest.

Here’s what others have said:

Congratulations to the author, Gloria Petersen, for coming up with some good common sense etiquette that is desperately needed.  − Horst M. Kniesel, First Vice President, Bank One

The direct approach to the section on handling challenging foods and mishaps was wonderful.  You hit these embarrassing situations HEAD-ON --- the only way that makes sense . . . Easy to read, thorough, direct and very entertaining . . . Great for a college grad, but even the most seasoned diners will find it useful . . . Wonderful to detail the difference between American and Continental dining.  
Nancy Michael, Membership Director, Plaza Club

In Business Entertaining with Ease, you will learn the answer to these dilemmas, and many more:

  • Is there ever a time when it’s OK to take a cell phone call during a luncheon meeting?

  • You’re up for an important job and your interviewer smokes and drinks alcohol during lunch, does that mean you can too?

  •  Are you guilty of any of the most common egregious dining habits?  Learn how to avoid them.

  • When should you begin eating if you are the table’s host? First? Last? After the majority of diners have been served?

  • If you plan to play golf with your client or boss, should you let him or her win?
