Swiss Business Etiquette

Swiss are strict, conservative and reputable.

But sometimes it also has a stubborn side. To negotiate business with them, we must be patient.

Once the other party decides to buy your product, it will buy it almost indefinitely.

On the contrary, if the other person reveals "no", you will not have to continue to work hard.

Because they seldom change their minds easily.

Abide by the contract, honest and not, Swiss is a paragon.

Most of the Swiss companies are located in Zurich. It is the largest city in the country, and is also a hub for commerce, industry, finance, culture and land and air pportation.

Switzerland's banking industry is very developed. There are more than 5000 large and small banks in the country, of which 3/5 are based in Zurich.

It is better to arrange business activities in Switzerland from 3, 5, 9 to November.

One week to two weeks before Christmas, every week before and after Easter, there is usually no activity.

6 to August and February are mostly vacation time.

Switzerland does not have strict currency control in customs.

In recent days, the price of US dollar and Swiss Franc was around 1:1.6527.

In accordance with Swiss etiquette habits, never invite each other to lunch or dinner on the first day of the meeting.

The two sides should be contacted several times or even become familiar with each other before making an invitation.

It is best to invite each other to dinner before leaving Switzerland.

In case the other party refuses to keep an appointment, it doesn't matter. Business can still be successful.

Swiss businessmen generally do not want to invite guests to dinner. If you receive an invitation, remember: first, bring flowers or candy to the hostess; second, punctual appointment.

If you send a red rose, you can send 1 or 20 branches, but do not send 3 sticks. Usually, 3 sticks are meant for lovers.

According to the business etiquette and customs of Switzerland, it is suitable for a suit to wear three pieces of suit, a visit to a large company or a government agency. It is necessary to reserve a good time and keep in mind that it is punctual.

Managers of general companies or government agencies work from 7 to 8 in the morning.

Write to the Swiss Corporation. Only the name of the company can be written on the envelope. Do not write the name of the person in charge.

Because if the person is not here, this letter will not be looked down by others. It will only be put aside, which is likely to be a mistake.

Remember, Swiss businessmen are very interested in "famous brand" products. If your product brand is very hard, it is necessary to mark the year established by the company on the envelope or letter paper, which will greatly increase the value of the product.
