From PropertyCasualty360:
Striking opportunities for client relationship-building are hiding in plain sight when good business etiquette reigns — whether in first-time prospect meetings or greeting longtime clients (no fist-bumps, hugging or kissing, generally speaking). So says Daniel Post Senning, great-great grandson of etiquette icon Emily Post, in an interview.
Indeed, the art of good etiquette (the French word means “prescribed behavior”) goes deeper than good manners, which typically evolve over time. Good etiquette is an expression of caring about others, which of course is helpful to gaining client trust, maintains Post Senning, 41, who, in the interview, discusses three scenarios in which good etiquette generates opportunities.
On behalf of the Emily Post Institute, based in Burlington, Vermont, Post Senning conducts business etiquette seminars for companies such as Barclays, Geico and UBS; teaches the train-the-trainer course; and hosts the “Awesome Etiquette” podcast with cousin Lizzie Post. Previously, he partnered with Bank of America as a spokesman promoting BofA’s new technology.

#TBT to clear skies and the D&D Team supporting the Builders Exchange at their golf tournament in Morro Bay.
A very big THANK YOU to all those who participated in this event yesterday. We raised $358.00 to go towards the scholarship fund. I have included some photos from the event and some from a few people who received a signing Valentine from their Agent. That was Classic.
We look forward to another fun filled event in March for St. Patrick’s Day.
We will be working on a newsletter to be sent out that I know we have not seen for a while.
Thank you,
Your D&D Committee Members
Darlene Ayala, Katie Beyerle, Patty Reilly, Lori Tigson, Michelle Katoch & Richard Antenucci
