Business Ettiquette

Hey guys.


Last english lesson we talked about business behaviour. Therefore, I want to tell you the most important parts from my point of view.

The first thing to be careful is the greeting. You should avoid a cupped handshake because when you first meet somebody, it could be a bit too much in personal space. Furthermore one should always say "Please" and "thank you".
Another important point is to watch your language, because verbal and written communications are less formal than decades ago. Unacceptable things are: using rude or offensive language and also slang. What you also should avoid is to interrupt somebody, because nobody likes "over-talkers", so listen fully what your partner is saying and speak after he finished.

Which business behaviours do you suggest other and why?

My business idea

Hello everyone!

Last english lesson was about business ideas and how to start your own business. So I  thought of sharing my own business idea with you.

In the beginning I will make a market research to know how many competitors I am going to have and what makes me different from them. So I'll think of my own USP, which is going to be german cars. To start my business, I will have to save money or look out for investors, who like my idea.

After I collected my minimum capital to start my business, which are 10.000€. I will begin to buy and sell cars on ebay. First, I will focus on german cars, because they are known for their quality and realibility. I will buy cars under 3000€ which are in good condition and clean the interior, wash the car and polish at the end. After doing that, I'll set the price of the car 10-20% higher than the price I originally bought it for.

That's my idea and what's yours? 💭
