 Introducing yourself
 Introducing others
 Responding to introductions
 What to do when you can’t remember names
 Secret to remembering names
The way of introducing reflects your personality
It should reflect pride in who you are
It helps in creating an unforgettable image
It should focus on your strength and abilities
It should bring forward your uniqueness
Static or Formal introduction
Dynamic or informal introduction
Your name
Native place
Family background ( 1-2 lines)
Experience with the responsibilities (Last first )
Education (Last first) with achievements if any
About Yourself (2 lines may be about goals,
 ambition etc) NOT COMPULSORY
Activity where students will design their visiting
 /business cards and introduce themselves
They will have to choose a company to make the
 card.
   Who introduces who?
    ◦ Introduce the person with lesser authority to the person
      with higher authority, regardless of gender

    ◦ Highest person of rank is mentioned first. Remember:
      “Big, may I introduce Small.”

    ◦ A younger person is always introduced to an older
      person

    ◦ It is helpful to include the persons title

    ◦ Do not include “you to” “ To You” when using the word
      introduce
Other way of introduction is John Jacob this is Mary
 Smith, our new sales officer.

Keep the forms of the address equal. If you use Mr.
 Jacob, you must use Ms. Smith. You should not
 say, "Jane Jacob this is Ms. Smith.“
When introducing members of the opposite sex, use age and rank or
 degree of distinction as a guide. If the two people are approximately
 the same age, rank and prominence, the woman's name should be
 mentioned first.

Or you can introduce the person less acquainted to person more
  acquainted

If someone has forgotten to introduce you, take the initiative and
   introduce yourself. Smile, extend your hand and say, "My name is
   so-and-so. I don't believe we've met.“

Never refer to yourself as Mr., Mrs., Dr. and so on. Other people give
  you an honorific. You don't give one to yourself.
In general, call a person by his or her first name only
  after he or she has given you permission to do so, for
  example, "Please call me Shirley." There are, of
  course, certain informal settings where first names
  would be appropriate.

If someone forgets your name, be quick to supply it in
   order to lessen their embarrassment.

If you are unsure of how to pronounce someone's
  name, simply say, "I'd really like to pronounce your
  name correctly.“
When possible, always add a little information to go with a
 name. That will give people a springboard for conversation.
 For example, "Ms. Smith, this is Dr. Williams, vice
 president of marketing." "Ms. Smith is president of XYZ
 Company."

Avoid commanding people in the introduction. In other
 words, don't say, "Mr. Johnson meet Ms. Logan."

Stand when being introduced. This shows consideration and
  respect. If standing would be awkward, however, it is
  permissible to remain seated. Always shake hands and
  exchange greetings, such as "How do you do?" or "I'm glad
  to see you."
   When someone has just been introduced to you, your
    response should be genuine, short, and simple.
    You should also repeat the person’s name at the end of
    your greeting.
   Repeating the name of the person you were just
    introduced to serves two purposes: it shows polite respect
    and it helps you to remember the person’s name. You can
    also add a brief comment about the person (not about
    yourself):
   Examples:
   ”It is so nice to meet you, Dr. Wilkins. I have followed your
    work for years with much enthusiasm.”
   ”It is wonderful to finally meet you, Dr. Wilkins. I look
    forward to working with you.”
Responding for social courtesy demands formal
  reply using titles, first and last name.
Introduction for business relationship can be bit
  relaxed
Be careful in the usage of Mr, Miss and Mrs.
 Repeat the person’s name a few times to
  yourself after you’re introduced.
 Use the person’s name immediately in the

  conversation after an introduction.
 Immediately introduce that new person to

  someone else you know.
 Jot down the person’s name

Editor's Notes

  1. When you do not know others do it immediately. This will clue others to do the same. Introduce the least important person to the most important person. For example “Mr. Riles I would like to introduce to you Mr. Brown, our Experiential Education Coordinator.” When responding say “hello, it is nice to meet you”, and get the conversation started, be sure to give and get information from the other person. No, running away is not an option! Just say, I’m so sorry I have just forgotten your name. Be sure to apologize! Or say “ have you two met each other” and that sometimes will get the ball rolling. To remember other peoples names, be sure to say their name on the first part of the conversation and at logical times. Don’t be thinking about what you will say next and miss the person’s name, this will keep you from hearing it and remembering it. Get a story about a person’s name, this will also help you remember. Rules: Always make the introduction Introduce the most important person first Give information about the introduced person Smile and make eye contact Introduce yourself a lot
  2. Being able to introduce people and explain who they are makes everyone feel comfortable. Always state your name – A person who states their name clearly right up front is saying to the world, I am _________ and I am proud, confident and honest. The ability to confidently introduce yourself or others demonstrates that you are at ease and in control.
  3. People like it when you remember their names. Practice this skill. If you forget someone’s name, it is OK to ask them to repeat it. Say, “I'm sorry, I have forgotten your name.” It happens to everyone.
