Outclass Your Competition

A five-hour business etiquette and dining tutorial workshop

The ability to Outclass Your Competition has never been more critical. Skillfully handling interpersonal interactions leads to retention of existing customers and to an improved perception of your organization by future customers. According to research conducted by Harvard University, Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research Institute, 85 percent of job success is based on people skills.

Tero International, Inc. helps professionals master the critical but often overlooked skills needed to Outclass Your Competition. At Tero, we call Etiquette and Protocol a Business Intelligence, or B.Q., and we believe it is an intelligence you cannot afford to be without.

Business Etiquette

More often than not, that star employee has a good grasp of something called Business Etiquette, a knowledge of the proper form, rules, manners, or customs required in specific situations, as well as how to carry out those requirements.

Outclass Your Competition will increase your business intelligence by informing and instructing you in the vital skills needed to thrive, not just survive, in any business environment.

Dining Skills

Astute professionals equate good manners at the table with competence in business. Whether a new hire, or a seasoned executive, dining skills play a major role in business today. The business breakfast, lunch and dinner have become the venue for important meetings, networking opportunities and interviews. Whether you are a host, or a guest at a business function, Outclass Your Competition will prepare you to dine and entertain with skill and confidence.

For more than two decades, Tero International has enjoyed a reputation for translating the most recent, relevant research and knowledge on personal and interpersonal skills into fun, interactive, educational workshops. Skills and knowledge that are guaranteed to make a difference.

Outclass Your Competition is no exception. The curriculum for this program is drawn from the extensive research from The Protocol School of Washington® in D.C.

The Protocol School of Washington, and its President, Pamela Eyring, are dedicated to researching the topics of business etiquette, dining skills and international protocol, critical for success in today's competitive business environment.
