The basic protocol of introductions calls for introducing the ‘lesser-ranking’ (socially, professionally, by age or seniority) to the ‘higher-ranking’ person. Here are four steps.
1.First, state the name of the person being introduced to. This is the ‘higher-ranking’ person.
2.Second, say “I would like to introduce” or, “please meet” or, “this is,” etc.
3.Third, state the name of the person being introduced. This is the ‘lower-ranking’ person.
4.Finally, offer some details of each other, as appropriate. As I wrote in a previous blog article, add a snippet of information about a topic of common interest between the two parties. Do not elaborate. This will help them connect and pursue a conversation.
