Being introduced invites you into the conversation and makes you feel like part of the group, which is why making an introduction shows your respect for your guest. Attending an event without being introduced leaves a person feeling ignored or neglected. Making introductions is particularly important in business settings as they establish a rapport, get relationships off on the right foot, and give you an aura of being confident, prepared, and in control. ignored: ____________________________ Clue word(s):_________________________ rapport:_________________________ Clue word(s):______________________
