1 Research your contacts

Before you meet or communicate with your international contacts, do some research on their background, culture, and preferences. Find out their names, titles, roles, and responsibilities. Learn about their business etiquette, norms, and values. Avoid making assumptions or stereotypes based on their nationality or appearance. Show that you have done your homework and that you care about their perspective and needs.

Pour respect et considération envers vos contacts internationaux, informez-vous sur leur culture et secteur. Vérifiez si vous avez des contacts communs ou quelqu'un dans votre réseau pouvant informer sur les coutumes spécifiques. N'hésitez pas à demander à votre réseau de confiance pour des introductions utiles ou à contacter des réseaux professionnels ou associatifs.

Knowing the culture is very important because knowing the culture helps us to communicate more comfortably and have empathy about our counterparts, understand their view point and accordingly regulate communication for stronger and more trustworthy relationships and better business outcomes.

2 Adapt your communication style

Different cultures have different ways of expressing themselves, giving feedback, and negotiating. Some are more direct and assertive, while others are more indirect and subtle. Some are more formal and hierarchical, while others are more casual and egalitarian. Some are more relationship-oriented, while others are more task-oriented. Adapt your communication style to match your contacts' expectations and preferences. Use clear and simple language, avoid slang and jargon, and check for understanding. Be polite, respectful, and attentive. Use appropriate greetings, titles, and gestures. Be mindful of your tone, volume, and body language.

3 Follow up and follow through

One of the most important ways to make a lasting impression with international business contacts is to follow up and follow through. After your initial meeting or conversation, send a thank-you note, restate your main points, and confirm your next steps. Keep in touch regularly and update them on your progress. Deliver on your promises and meet your deadlines. Show that you are reliable, trustworthy, and committed to the relationship. Don't let them feel ignored or forgotten.

Pour renforcer l'impact auprès de vos contacts internationaux, en plus du suivi, pensez à personnaliser votre approche. Après les échanges initiaux, intégrez des détails spécifiques à leur culture ou à leur entreprise dans votre communication. Cela peut se manifester par des v?ux pour des fêtes locales, des références à des événements ou des réussites récents dans leur pays. Cette attention aux détails montre une réelle implication et une volonté de construire une relation basée sur la compréhension et le respect mutuels.

4 Be curious and open-minded

Another way to make a lasting impression with international business contacts is to be curious and open-minded. Show genuine interest in their culture, history, and traditions. Ask questions and listen actively. Learn some words or phrases in their language. Try their food, music, and art. Appreciate their differences and similarities. Avoid judging or criticizing their beliefs or practices. Be respectful of their customs and sensitivities. Show that you are willing to learn from them and that you value their diversity.
