Starting Again…….

by Linda Bernat on April 20, 2012

I started this blog many months ago. Along the way I became discouraged with all the comments from spam type locations and I quit blogging. But there are some great articles that would help each of my clients and readers so I think I will forge ahead!

My plan is to publish great posts from others, personal journeys from real estate, my new endeavor – Tupperware, and some personal info from my blog Mrs. Beasley the dog

Let me know if you like any of the articles and how they helped you. I will be reading and evaluating each comment from today forward.

Thanks for following me!

Business Etiquette: 5 Rules That Matter Now

by Linda Bernat on April 20, 2012

Here’s a great article I wanted to share with you……

The concept of etiquette is still essential, especially now—and particularly in business. New communication platforms, like Facebook and Linked In, have blurred the lines of appropriateness and we’re all left wondering how to navigate unchartered social territory.

At Crane & Co., we have been advising people on etiquette for two centuries. We have even published books on the subject—covering social occasions, wedding etiquette and more.

Boil it down and etiquette is really all about making people feel good. It’s not about rules or telling people what to do, or not to do, it’s about ensuring some basic social comforts.

So here are a few business etiquette rules that matter now—whatever you want to call them.
