How can you establish greater trust and profit in business? First, learn to eat the style your guest does.
There are many occasions where your team will have business meetings or social events over a meal. The impression they make is important and can have lasting effects. What type of effect do you have when someone watches you eat?
A 2013 study published in Harvard Business Review shows that negotiating when dining can increase your profits, in the millions, up to 12%. In 2017, a published research paper by students at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business determined that you establish greater trust when eating similar foods to your counterpart. And so, how do you prepare yourself for what's expected at the table?
Whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner, equip yourself with the skills to display your understanding of continental dining customs.
