Find out more about company rules and traditions. If you want to agree on something with a corporation whose employees have a strict dress code, follow it. Austere business style suggests that men wear a classic solid color suit or shirt with trousers. The wardrobe of a business lady is also extremely restrained: it is a jacket, knee-length skirt or trousers, a plain blouse and shoes with small heels. If you're planning a deal or meeting with a freer company, go for a casual outfit - you won't miss. For example, you can wear jeans with a jacket, a white T-shirt instead of a shirt, and sneakers instead of boots.
Gestures, movements, facial expressions. By default, you should be careful and serious in negotiations. But, as with the dress code, be guided by the interlocutor. If he joked funny - sincerely laugh back, the deal will definitely not fail from this.
Punctuality
Everything is simple here: arrive on time, or better - 10 minutes earlier.
If you are still late, respect someone else's time: warn you that you are late, apologize and say how long it will take to expect you.
If some words are difficult for you to pronounce, do not be lazy to rehearse their pronunciation. Or find synonyms so you don't get lost in an important part of the negotiation.
Watch your speech, control the words-parasites and "uh ... mmm ..." - they not only annoy, but also distract from the essence of the conversation.
