Whether this will be your first or your thousandth business trip, you should be conscious of conduct that is considered proper during your absence from the office. As a representative of your company, you need to know how to behave appropriately on a business trip. Steps: 1. Pack all essential items in a carry-on bag to avoid being ill-prepared for business if the airline loses your luggage. Showing up for a trade show or a meeting with a client dressed in yesterday's clothes will not make a positive impression. 2. Dress professionally during the entire trip. Your attire(服装) should reflect the fact that you are on a business trip, whether you are on a plane, on a golf course or in a conference room. 3. Be prepared and be on time. You may normally arrive at the office at 13:10 every morning and not speak until after your first cup of coffee, but clients will not be 10 minutes late for an important meeting. 4. Use proper business language. Even though some business trips may include more casual situations, such as lunch, dinner or even golf, keep in mind that you are still representing your company, and like the old saying goes, 'Loose lips sink ships.' 5. Save all receipts from your trip so you can easily determine your expenses when you return. 6. Conduct yourself with grace and decorum(礼貌得体) at all times. If you are uncertain about these terms, consider buying a book on business etiquette(礼节) for some light reading while on the plane. We should dress ______ during the entire trip.
