Comments on: Are Manners in Business Really Important? http://brendanwenzel.net/manners-in-business/ Finding Money for Clients Through Smart Marketing Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:40:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Monica Diaz http://brendanwenzel.net/manners-in-business/#comment-140 Monica Diaz Mon, 08 Jun 2009 03:49:35 +0000 http://brendanwenzel.net/?p=203#comment-140 Thanks for a great post, Brendan. Recently, I went with my son to the Montessori Model United Nations Conference, and I was impressed by one of the speakers who addressed the kids as "your excellencies". He explained that he was humbled and honored to be speaking to the people that would be able to make a difference in the world of the future. I looked around the room at the faces of these 10 to 13 year old excellencies...and they truly looked entranced, engaged in the speech and serious about being what they can be. Respect truly goes a long way. As you point out, manners are not a small thing. They imply I respect you, I know how to treat people, I value their presence. On a related theme, I polled in LI about being truthful and honest in business. It does make a difference. Check out the answers here: http://bit.ly/f4EOS Interesting.
