The ability to Outclass Your Competition has never been more
critical. Skillfully handling interpersonal interactions leads to
retention of existing customers and to an improved perception of your
organization by future customers. According to research conducted by
Harvard University, Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research
Institute, 85 percent of job success is based on people skills.
Tero International, Inc. helps professionals master the critical but often overlooked skills needed to Outclass Your Competition.
At Tero, we call Etiquette and Protocol a Business Intelligence, or
B.Q., and we believe it is an intelligence you cannot afford to be
without.
Business Etiquette
Have you ever thought about the difference between the person whose
career seems to be taking off, and someone equally skilled that can't
seem to get the same breaks?
More often than not, that star employee has a good grasp of something
called Business Etiquette, a knowledge of the proper form, rules,
manners, or customs required in specific situations, as well as how to
carry out those requirements.
Outclass Your Competition will increase your business
intelligence by informing and instructing you in the vital skills needed
to thrive, not just survive, in any business environment.
