The Arabic professionals will also help you when you wish to pronounce their name correctly. It is important that you should not pronounce their names incorrectly. It is mandatory that you have a small talk before the commencement of the training. During such talks it is important that we don't ask about well being and health of female family members of the colleague. You should be sure that you are not supposed to discuss about the female members of the family or any topic about women should be avoided. The international professionals should avoid talking about Israel. There is some time that is let quiet during the meeting. It is not necessary that you fill this time with conversation. According to the Arab professional rules, people who ask many questions are not people with high rank as a professional. Usually they feel that the decision and executives conduct the meeting without a lot of speaking involved.
Greet in a Professional way: To give a handshake is the most common form of the greeting. The business hand shakes are supposed to be firm ones. Men who are familiar with each other can kiss on cheeks of each other 3 times (alternating cheeks) but this is done in some cases. People of the international community should follow their Arabian hosts when they are in the company for business purposes. Women can have hand shakes as well and they can engage themselves in a handshake and 3 kisses on the cheek. As the Arabian countries are the Muslim people, it is not good or correct for the men and the women to have some physical greet with each other. In the professional situations, a nod is enough to acknowledge is more than sufficient between the genders.
It is important that greet is the first thing that is followed by the other business talk. You should also not forget to greet them in the Arabic language. It is also important that you talk with the business professionals in an official way rather going in to their personals or going to their families. People respect you with the intelligence that you have and not with the concerns that you have for them and their family in the Arabic countries.
Follow all the above things and behave in a professional way and get your business things done.
