Business etiquette rules for introducing people in a business setting are not much different from the accepted customs of personal introductions in a social setting. Unfortunately, the rules of introduction are not so straightforward and simple as one might think, and who you introduce first does matter. In both business and social situations, you should always introduce: Younger people to older people; Junior ranking professionals to senior ranking professionals; Business contacts and staff to clients; Personal acquaintances and family members to business professionals when attending a business function; and Guests to their hosts ? In other words, as a show of respect, introduce those of a lower status to those of a higher status. It is important to note that under no circumstances should you use introduction rules to socially define people of another race, color, religion, or sexual preference as someone of a lower status. To do so would be purely inappropriate and discriminatory.
