First Impressions• When meeting a German professional, be sure
to remember their exact title and use it in reference.• Frau is used for females and Herr for males,
Herr Doktor is used depending on background.– Ex. Frau Doktor Bogard
• If invited to a German business person’s house, bring imported wine or fine chocolates, or a souvenir from your home country.• Greeting is commemorated with a quick brief
handshake and direct eye contact.

In a meeting• German professionals are very meticulous,
and details are greatly appreciated.• Decisions are made from the highest
position down, so the person with the highest professional rank has the final say.• Once a negotiation has been reached, it is
rare that it will be modified later.• If you are late enter without a fuss and at
the end of the meeting apologize to the highest ranking professional.
