Whoever they are, making a good first impression will get them to notice you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This might involve putting yourself forward and doing <\/span><b>English greetings and introductions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013even if English is your second language. In this guide, we\u2019ll be taking a look at English vocabulary that will help you meet new people and introduce yourself with ease in a professional setting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Making a Good First Impression<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead of struggling with what to say on the spot, you\u2019ll feel more confident when you prepare before jumping into conversations:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Think about how you\u2019ll describe yourself<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can\u2019t anticipate what exactly people will ask you about, but you can <\/span><b>plan out how you\u2019ll describe yourself<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You\u2019ll almost always have to mention the following details:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your current role and the kind of work that you do<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company that you\u2019re working for or your business<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your industry<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aside from these, <\/span><b>list down other noteworthy facts about yourself<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that you can bring up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if you\u2019re attending an industry event, maybe you have a project that you pulled off successfully, or you have specific interests that you\u2019d like to connect with people over. On the other hand, when you\u2019re mingling with potential customers or talking to investors, you\u2019d need to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/251311\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">deliver a pre-planned pitch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> about your product or service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Research who you\u2019re meeting<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since you\u2019ll be meeting people for the first time, don\u2019t go into it blind\u2013<\/span><b>look up who will be attending<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You\u2019ll have a different approach when introducing yourself to executives compared to when you\u2019re about to hold a mentoring session with junior colleagues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When there\u2019s at least one person whose attention you want to catch, you can even <\/span><b>do your research on that person<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Get familiar with their body of work along with their mindset. This information is easy to find because you can check out their website, LinkedIn, or any online articles written about them. This might take less than ten minutes to do, but you\u2019ll have a better idea of how to strike up a conversation with them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Practice your body language<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you even start speaking, <\/span><b>people can already tell a lot from your body language<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and how you present yourself. As with any professional setting, your choice of dress will be one of the first things that people will see. Even when people aren\u2019t observing you on purpose, your body language will also have a huge influence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Top English Phrases for Greetings and Introductions\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you can talk about business matters, you might have to spend time first on making greetings and introductions. We\u2019ve compiled some essential English phrases for introducing yourself or others. Meeting people doesn\u2019t have to be intimidating, especially since the greetings and sentence structures listed below pop up frequently!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Greetings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start with a <\/span><b>greeting<\/b> <b>that sounds friendly yet professional.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>1. Hello, [name]!<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is <\/span><b>one of the most standard greetings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in English, and it\u2019s probably one of the first phrases that you\u2019ve learned. With \u201chello,\u201d you can greet most people\u2013an old friend, a colleague you\u2019ve barely talked to, or a stranger that you simply need to ask for directions from. A usual alternative to it is \u201chi.\u201d Although \u201chello\u201d and \u201chi\u201d are interchangeable in most situations, \u201chello\u201d is slightly more formal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>2. Good morning, everyone. It\u2019s a pleasure to be here.<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can say this when you\u2019re talking to a group of people at a specific event. Depending on the time of the day, \u201cgood morning\u201d is replaceable with \u201cgood afternoon\u201d or \u201cgood evening.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This phrase could work well when you\u2019re at a meeting with stakeholders, having dinner with clients, or speaking up at a group video call. Because of its formal tone, you can reserve this phrase for <\/span><b>people that you don\u2019t meet with frequently<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013usually on a special occasion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>3. How\u2019s it going?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Out of the three greetings here, this is the most casual. It\u2019s also a <\/span><b>direct invitation to small talk<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013you\u2019re essentially asking the other person how they are, which can be a great ice-breaker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because it comes off as more familiar than the other greetings above, native English speakers say this when they\u2019re talking to an acquaintance or to a group where they already know some of the people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Greetings to Avoid<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s also important to know which greetings to avoid. Some greetings can be way too casual. You could use them with people that you\u2019re close to, but not with someone you\u2019ve barely met:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hey, [name]!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yo! What\u2019s up?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How\u2019s life?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Look who it is!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking good!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Introducing Yourself<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After greeting other people to catch their attention, the next step is to make introductions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re introducing yourself, <\/span><b>t<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he simplest introduction that you can make is to mention your name: \u201cI\u2019m [name]\u201d or \u201cMy name is [name].\u201d However, in a business setting, it\u2019s expected that you\u2019ll reveal additional information about yourself and your work using these phrases:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>4. I\u2019m [name] from [company].<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you have to make a <\/span><b>quick introduction to people from other companies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, you can say your name followed by which company you\u2019re from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is ideal in events where people already have an idea of your role or specialization, such as during conferences or industry meetups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m Jennifer from GRH Software Solutions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>5. My name is [name]. I\u2019m a [role].\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead of stating your company, you can also just <\/span><b>describe your role or job<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you attend a workshop where the attendees are diverse, you might choose to emphasize your role instead since some people might not be working at a specific company. Freelancers or consultants also tend to default to this introduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My name is Lance. I\u2019m a data analyst.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>6. I\u2019m [name]. I work as a [role] at [company].<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes you have to <\/span><b>make a complete introduction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013maybe you\u2019re reaching out to a client or trying to get your work noticed by someone specific.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This type of statement is more formal, and it prompts the other person to introduce themselves in a similar way too. Depending on the situation, you can follow this up with \u201cIt\u2019s nice to meet you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m Cynthia. I work as a logistics manager at Mizuri Group.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Introducing Other People<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You might find yourself having to <\/span><b>introduce two or more people <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">that you know to each other. There aren\u2019t any strict rules about this, but it\u2019s generally polite to introduce the lower-ranking person to the higher-ranking person in a business setting. This is usually easy to figure out:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Look at people\u2019s job titles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Regardless of whether they\u2019re in the same company, a senior manager would have higher ranking than a junior employee, so you would introduce the junior employee to the senior manager.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If their job titles seem to have a similar rank, <\/span><b>make introductions to the person that you\u2019re closer to<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. For example, you\u2019d introduce a distant colleague to someone in your team that you work with every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For clients, you would generally <\/span><b>introduce the client to your colleague<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> since you\u2019re more familiar with your colleague.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are additional phrases that will get the conversation going quickly:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>7. [Person A], this is [Person B].<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a <\/span><b>straightforward introduction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, this is the statement that you would go for. You can pause after this statement because this is taken as a hint for either Person A or Person B to exchange pleasantries or to mention information about themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You: Arnold, this is Marcus.<br \/>\n<\/span>Arnold: It\u2019s nice to meet you, Marcus!<br \/>\nMarcus: Great to talk to you too, Arnold! [your name] mentioned that you\u2019re working in tech.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>8. [Person A], I\u2019d like to introduce you to [Person B]. [Describe Person B]<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you\u2019re <\/span><b>introducing people for a specific purpose,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> you can use this statement. After mentioning the two people\u2019s names, encourage them to start talking by explaining a common interest of theirs or the purpose behind your introduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You: Hannah, I\u2019d like to introduce you to Evelyn. She wants to know more about the pitch that you made this morning.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 Evelyn: I\u2019ve actually been doing similar research, so I thought it might be great to compare notes with you on that.<br \/>\nHannah: Sure, I\u2019d love to!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>9. [Person A], I don\u2019t think you\u2019ve met [Person B]. [Describe Person B]<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are occasions when <\/span><b>only one person knows the other<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. A senior executive might not know a junior employee, or a participant might be familiar with the speaker\u2019s name but the speaker hasn\u2019t met them yet. You can make a smooth introduction using this statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You: Julia, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ve met Harold Myers. He\u2019s a financial trader at [insert bank].<br \/>\n<\/span>Julia: Oh, I worked there before, but at a different location!<br \/>\nHarold: Yes, I enjoyed your talk because I found your company case studies relatable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Breaking the Ice<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>With these sample phrases below, you can liven up the conversation as you turn to small talk:\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5><b>10. We both went to [event]&#8230; Didn\u2019t we?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You might have recognized the other person because you went to an event at the same time, but <\/span><b>you\u2019ve never been formally introduced to each other<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0This statement can be very effective for small talk because you\u2019re pointing out what you have in common. The conversation can then turn to your experience of the event, what the other person about it, or the reasons why both of you went to the event in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We both went to that problem-solving workshop, didn\u2019t we? I think I saw you there, but we didn\u2019t get to talk.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>11. Good to talk to you at last.<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If <\/span><b>you\u2019ve heard about the other person before<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or you\u2019ve seen each other but haven\u2019t chatted, then this phrase can be an ice-breaker. It\u2019s a polite way of expressing friendliness\u2013you\u2019re looking forward to talking to the other person. This is most commonly used between two colleagues who know about each other\u2019s names because they work in the same company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good to talk to you at last! We\u2019ve been working a lot with other people from the design team.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>12. Wow, look at [that view behind you]!<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you\u2019ve never met the other person before and you barely know anything about them, starting a conversation can be more challenging. Here\u2019s a classic: <\/span><b>comment on your surroundings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The person could be standing in front of a window, and you could point out the view behind them or make an observation about the room that you\u2019re in. Food is also an effective conversation-opener\u2013everyone almost always has something to say about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wow, look at that view behind you! It\u2019s so scenic from up here.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>13. Which projects have you been up to lately?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This conversation-opener comes off as more casual. For professional situations, you can <\/span><b>ask about the other person\u2019s projects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> specifically, rather than about their life as a whole. The other person could then either describe what they\u2019re currently doing at work or maybe even mention a personal project of theirs that they\u2019re passionate about.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Which projects have you been up to lately? I\u2019ve heard that everyone has been pretty busy in business development.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>14. I\u2019ve really been enjoying the new [TV show, football season, etc]&#8230; Has anyone seen it?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For kicking off small talk with a group, you can bring up a movie, TV series, app, or more\u2013any form of <\/span><b>entertainment that people in the group will be able to relate to<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The larger the group, the trickier this can get because ideally, everyone will be able to jump in and contribute to the conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can also pull this off in one-to-one interactions. If the other person says they haven\u2019t seen it, then redirect the conversation back to them and ask, \u201cWhat have you been watching or reading lately?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ve really been enjoying this new comedy about restaurant owners. Since we\u2019re all in the restaurant industry, has anyone seen it?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>15. Really excited about the coming [event]. Anybody heard of it?\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aside from entertainment, events are another great small talk topic. You can talk about <\/span><b>news or current events but also upcoming events<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that the other person might be interested in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This works especially well when you know that you have common ground with the other person\u2013maybe the event is a company mixer, or it\u2019s a finance program that both of you would want to attend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Really excited about the coming jiu-jitsu classes they\u2019re offering everyone on Thursdays. Anybody heard of it?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>On to Business Matters\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The small talk will wind down eventually, and you\u2019ll have to get down to business and move on to your official agenda for the meeting. Since people can get absorbed in long conversations, you might have to <\/span><b>signal the transition to business matters<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> using certain English phrases:<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>16. Thanks for being here! What do you say we move into\u2026<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To make the transition less abrupt, start off by <\/span><b>showing your appreciation for the person being present.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can then phrase your next statement as a question: \u201cWhat do you say we move into discussing our budget?\u201d This sounds more polite because you\u2019re <\/span><b>expressing it as a suggestion <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rather than an order. People will naturally answer with \u201cSure!\u201d or \u201cYes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks for being here! What do you say we move into going over our sales for this month?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>17. That sounds fantastic, glad this [team \/ group] is connecting! How about we transition to\u2026<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This statement would come in handy for when you\u2019re with a group where the conversation is already flowing. The first sentence <\/span><b>sets a positive tone <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/service\/team-collaboration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">encourages team collaboration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In turn, the second statement alerts people that <\/span><b>you\u2019re ready to switch to business mode <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and talk about more serious topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That sounds fantastic, glad this team is connecting! How about we transition into giving our weekly updates?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Conclusion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes you might only have one chance to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/09\/how-to-make-a-great-first-impression\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">make a great first impression<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on a business contact.
