Beforebeginning a business discussion, it is common to discuss family, recent events or othersocial themes. Mexicans are accustomed to smoking and drinking freely at businessmeals. Business lunches can span two hours.Patience is key to doing business in Mexico. Business meetings in Mexico will oftentake longer than they would in the United States. Etiquette often includes small talkbefore business.Mexican social etiquette makes it difficult to say no. Therefore, yes does not alwaysmean yes. In conversation, Mexicans emphasize tactful and indirect phrasing, and maybe more effusive than Americans with praise and emotional expressions. Do not beoverly aggressive while negotiating; it is considered rude.The concept of time is flexible in Mexico. Guests to social events (except in the case ofcities in the North) can arrive up to an hour late. However, punctuality is observed formost business and government appointments.Business cards are used extensively. Come with a large supply.Travel AdvisoryReturn to topFor detailed information about travel advisory information from the State Department,please click on: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_970.html
