Monthly Tips

"It's not the will to win that matters - everyone has that. It is the will to prepare to win that matters."
Paul "Bear" Bryant, college football's winningest, coach with 323 victories, including 6 national championships and 13 Southeastern Conference titles.

Organization Tip:

Question: How can we prevent embarrassing moments when our associates and spouses stumble with names or are uncertain how to converse at client functions?

Answer: One week before the event, provide the attendees with "cliff notes" on how to pronounce the names of your client and their associates. It's also useful to include some small talk topics.

Tip For Men:

Question: How do I handle non-meat or food allergies when selecting the meal for a large group business dinner event I'm hosting?

Answer: If possible, offer one meat and one vegetarian entree. The wait staff can ask for each guest's selection when taking the order. If it is a special event, I would recommend sending an invitation. On the invite, offer the option to select a meal choice and a place where any food allergies can be noted.

Tip For Women:

Question: Should table seating arrangements include alternating male and female seating? Does it even matter for a business social event?

Answer: It is more critical your guest be seated next to someone who they can have an interesting conversation with and/or who they share some common interests with.

Question: Is it protocol to give guests a gift at a company function as a remembrance of the event?

Answer: It is a nice touch if the event is a special celebration. The gift should be given when the guests leave and not left on the table. A gift on the dining table adds too much clutter and takes away the special nature of the gift.
