Principles of inviting guests and asking for help

As the inevitable "Convention" of asking people to do business, inviting guests to dinner is not only a kind of etiquette, but also a kind of skill. If you serve the people you ask for well, the things you ask for are no longer difficult. For this reason, we should do the following:

(1) Identify objects

This is the first problem to be solved.

When you ask for help, the person you invite is the one who can help you, but sometimes you also need some other friends to accompany you. If you encounter this situation, you should carefully arrange and choose the person you invite. According to the nature of the person you ask for, the needs and the size of the banquet, you should follow the principle of first primary then secondary, first pro and then pro .

In addition, we should also consider the differences in knowledge, age, status and personality of the invited objects, as well as their relationship with each other, so as to prevent those who should or should not be invited from bringing inconvenience and trouble to the communication.

(2) Take the right way to invite

The way of invitation should vary from person to person and from case to case. Scholars, experts and leaders, most of whom are busy and short of time, have better make an appointment in advance so that they can adjust their work and arrange their time. If they have more leisure time and work is easy to schedule, it's better to make an appointment earlier, and even if they are invited temporarily, they can usually be on call.

The secret conversation between friends is carried out quietly, which is more conducive to avoid the sight of others and ensure the concealment of communication activities.

(3) Pay attention to "Xing", "Ming", "Bian" and "Cheng"

"Line" is the feasibility of invitation. Invitation should be carried out according to one's ability. It is neither difficult nor impossible.

"Clear" means clear and clear. Before invitation, be sure to make clear the time, place, activity content, invitation object, etc. of the banquet, so as to have a clear idea of the invitation.

"Convenience" is to think about the invitation object as much as possible and provide convenience in terms of communication and transportation. Only when it is convenient for oneself and others can it benefit others and oneself.

"Sincerity" is to make an appointment in good faith, without hypocrisy, breach of contract or breach of faith.
