Tips on working abroad
As a Company we work extensively across the globe and have learnt the hard way that not all countries work within our own, perceived, comfort zone.

We are used to the way in which we do business in our own country but we have to learn a whole raft of new rules and customs if we wish to work, successfully abroad.

We have listed a few basic guidelines to get you started:

Be polite. Yes, this is very obvious but it is surprising how many people become aggressive or rude when they are abroad and are faced with a situation they do not understand. Always remain calm and try to put yourself in their shoes. Ask yourself why you think they are being intransigent or unco-operative. Very often this is because you have tried to by-pass their customs or even addressed them incorrectly. This is particularly true of places like Japan where it is difficult for westerners to understand the complex rules regarding hierarchy and decision making.

By remaining calm and being impeccably polite you will gain their respect and begin to build a relationship enabling you to question why you are struggling over a particular contract point or to start negotiating.

Be impressed. Most people are proud of their own countries and enjoy showing them off. We carry out hundreds of site visits across the world and are always met with people eager to show off the sights of their city and demonstrate the many advantages of living there. You will get nowhere if you are disparaging or dismissive. Always be impressed and appreciative and you will get a much better response.

Be aware. We teach our staff to 'stop and stare'. Watch what the locals are doing and how they greet and treat each other. Pick the brains of your contact and make sure you learn at least a few basic expressions such as please, thank you, hello and goodbye. You will be surprised by how much just this rudimentary effort pleases your hosts and other people.

It is also important to learn how to greet people in their own country. This seems to be particularly important in the Asian region. I once tried to kiss a Thai business woman on the cheek, European style and was met with a very embarrassed response. In Thailand physical contact in a business environment does not happen and you will have more success respecting their customs.
