9. Importance of
Greetings
Greeting is very important. When you geet a person, you massage their ego,
you show respect, give them a sense of belonging, and an air of importance.
Greeting doesn’t really take anything away from you. Rather, it makes you a
likeable person, and one who can safely be termed respectful.
Greeting a person doesn’t really make them your superior, or make you
inferior to them. It is just a courtesy, that fine-tunes the personality of
individuals.

make people relax and realize that there is nothing
to be uncomfortable about.

A greeting can establish or maintain a
relationship.
A greeting is the starting point of many new

meeting new people and striking up new friendships
or relationships, be open to greeting people, and
don’t be afraid to be the one to say hello first.

Greetings
Creates a good impression.
Every greeting opportunity you have gives you a
chance to show respect for other people, and it

not just about empty words. It is an
acknowledgment of someone’s presence and shows
that you notice them and are open to further
communication if need be.
