  9. Five key factors that are helpful when conducting business in Italy

  10. Greetings • When arriving and leaving, shake hands with everyone • Women may “kiss” good friend on either cheek (more like pressing the sides of each other’s face) • Italians are comfortable with standing very close. Don’t back away! This is interpreted as unfriendly.

  11. Introduction • Don’t use first names unless invited • Use the title Man *Dottore *Signor Woman *Dottoressa *Signora

  12. Meetings, Negotiations & Appointments • Italians prefer to do business with people they know • Best time for appointments are between 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. and after 3 p.m. • Avoid August, due to Holidays • When writing a message, write it in Italian, if possible • A sense of urgency shows signs of weakness

  13. Punctuality • Aim to be punctual • Deliberate lateness is considered sloppy • Taking people’s time for granted is simply rude

  14. Entertaining • Hospitality plays a key role in Italian business culture • Invitations to lunch and dinner are expected • There are certain protocols for dining

  15. Best source of transportation • Trains are by far the best way to travel around Italy.
