Did you know that 85% of your success in business is based on your people skills? Your attitude and behavior toward others are as important as your resume, experience, training and technical abilities. Employers and clients look for the human qualities that make the difference in business relationships: courtesy, respect, trust, and perception of reliability.

Etiquette skills are the underlying foundation of good relationships, and good relationships translate to business success.  Improve your etiquette skills and not only will you outclass the competition, but you will watch your self confidence soar. Whether you are re-entering the job force, looking to move up the ladder, or eager to jumpstart a sagging career, etiquette skills are a powerful addition to your business toolkit.
