“Mr./Ms Greater authority, may I present Mr./Ms Lesser Authority”
However there is an exception to this rule your client outranks higher authority in your company, in this case you mention the client first.
- For a proper introduction, say “May I introduce to you…..” and not “May I introduce you to….” “Jay, I would like to introduce Maya John, our CEO”
- When introducing people of equal rank, you might want to give preference to older people but it certainly isn’t necessary.
- Introduce a man to a woman of equal rank
- Names are not enough Supplying a nugget of information along with the name and title can serve as a conversation starter and make both parties more comfortable. Ex. “Jane is the auditor looking into the Microsoft matter…” or “ Maria is a lawyer with the Intel Corporation…”
