How to Properly Greet Someone
This one is easy yet many people still don't do it properly. It really boils down to 3 steps and 4 steps if you are meeting someone for the first time.
1) Firm handshake. You don't need to crush the persons hand and you don't use a "deadfish" handshake either.
2) Make eye contact. Don't worry it only has to be for 1-2 seconds.
3) Smile. Doesn't have to be a big toothy smile, just a normal one.
4) If meeting someone for the first time. Say your name. This is the first and best opportunity to get a persons name if you are not being introduced.
