Business gift-giving principle

1, the purpose of not giving gifts with unknown purposes is to connect feelings, express gratitude or get a raise and promotion. And the purpose must be clear. Giving a gift description without knowing what you want is tantamount to giving it away for nothing.

2. The gift should be what you want, so that the boss can see at a glance that you have intentions, instead of casually carrying a few bags of snacks. In the usual communication, if you know the preferences of instructions in a certain aspect, you can do what you like. The most important thing to deepen feelings is to let the other person feel your heart. What you put your heart into is the most exciting thing. In fact, deepening feelings and flattering are two different things. Why do you want to please the boss? Isn't it just to deepen feelings? When your feelings are warm and beautiful, it is no longer shallow "flattery", but "deepening" your feelings.

3. Don't be too expensive. Courtesy is light and affection is heavy, that is to say, the gift given to deepen feelings is not the value of the gift, but friendship.

It is very important to choose the right time and occasion to give gifts. When you give gifts, be careful not to embarrass yourself and the people present. Before going to work in the morning or after work in the afternoon, when few people pay attention, it is more appropriate to put the gift on the boss's desk to avoid making those who don't want to give it to the boss feel uncomfortable.

If colleagues gossip for some reason, first of all, they should be generous and tell themselves naturally that this is to be sensible and convey a beautiful emotion. If you are secretive, how can you not make people wonder if you have ulterior motives? Let more people feel your warm friendship. In this way, after a period of time, the gossip will be broken, and you will be more popular because you pay attention to feelings and appreciate the sponsorship of others.

Business gift-giving skills

1. If the business gift you sent is a local product, it might as well be said that it was sent by someone from your hometown. Give each other a taste. This will not only tell the other party that it was not bought on purpose, but also show that it is not worth a few dollars, so the giver may take your gift away.

2. If you send alcoholic products, such as Wuliangye Eco, you can say to give you two bottles of wine and have a drink with the other party. In this way, drinking a bottle and giving a bottle is not only a gift, but also a closer relationship between the two. The most important thing is not to leak traces.

3. If you want to give a gift, but you are not close to each other, there is nothing you can do. You might as well choose the other party's birthday or wedding banquet and other special days, bring two bottles of wine, VIP apprentice or wine, VIP dragon and phoenix, and invite several people familiar with the other party to give gifts together, so that the other party will inevitably refuse and achieve the purpose of friendship with everyone's help.

The role of the diplomatic wife can never be ignored. A has something to drag B to do, and she wants to give some gifts to accommodate, but she is worried that B will refuse. As it happens, A is my wife/girlfriend, and B's wife/girlfriend is familiar, so we can kill two birds with one stone by asking her/his girlfriend to bring a gift to visit with Mrs. Diplomacy.

Before giving business gifts, you should ask the other person's hobbies and interests. For example, if the other person likes calligraphy and painting, then you can give him a pair of calligraphy and painting.

Matters needing attention in business gift giving

1, the gift is appropriate. Generally speaking, a gift that is too light has little meaning, and it is easy to be misunderstood as looking down on him, especially for people who are not close. And if the gift is too light, it is more difficult to ask others to do something, and the chance of success is almost zero. But if the gift is too expensive, it will make the recipient suspected of accepting bribes, especially for superiors and colleagues. The choice of gift weight is based on the premise that the other party can accept it happily, and strive to do more with less money; Spend more money on good deeds.

2. The gift interval is appropriate. The time interval of giving gifts is also very particular, and it should not be too frequent or too long. Generally speaking, it is appropriate to choose important festivals, celebrations and birthday gifts. The gift is neither abrupt nor empty, and you can feel at ease when you accept it, which is the best of both worlds.

3. Understand customs and taboos. Before giving a gift, you should know the identity, hobbies and national habits of the recipient, so as not to cause trouble when giving a gift.

4. Gifts should be meaningful. Gifts are the carrier of feelings, and any gift expresses the special intention of the giver, or returns, or asks for help, or contacts feelings and so on. Therefore, the gift you choose must be in line with your mind, and let the recipient feel that your gift is unusual and precious. In fact, gifts should be chosen according to each other's hobbies, which are meaningful, intriguing and of extraordinary quality but not obvious. Therefore, when choosing a gift, we should consider its ideological, artistic, interesting and commemorative factors, and strive to be unique and unconventional.
