successful business relationships. Here are some tips that your boss can follow to make a good
impression during a business meeting with Americans:

Punctuality: Americans value punctuality, so it's essential to arrive on time for the meeting.
Your boss should plan to arrive a few minutes early to avoid any delays.

Handshake: In the United States, a firm handshake is the most common form of greeting in
business meetings. Your boss should make eye contact and shake hands firmly with everyone
present.

Dress code: Your boss should dress professionally, conservatively, and stylishly. It's essential to
dress appropriately for the occasion.

Small talk: Americans often engage in small talk before getting down to business. Your boss
should be prepared to talk about things like the weather, sports, or any other non-controversial
