How to

Master the
Business
Handshake
An appropriate handshake begins
with the introduction.
1. Extend your right hand and grip
the other persons hand.
Make sure that both hands
are pushed all the way in to
meet web-to-web and your
thumbs are facing straight up.

2. Shake just a couple of times in
a vertical motion.
The range of motion is 2 or 3
inches.

3. End the handshake cleanly,
before the introduction is over.
If you want to count, a good
handshake is held for 3 or 4
seconds.
