The perception of power and power distribution play an important role in daily life. Therefore, a structured corporate hierarchy is not only an absolute must, but also heartily welcome among the workers. Yet promotion prospects should be existent since Mexicans love \u201cclassic macho behavior\u201d and competing with each other. As a result, status and power as a reward for extraordinary working efforts are highly valued.<\/p>\n<p>Social life and enjoying yourself is equally important. They have a very high group consciousness and feel a strong family affiliation. Going out a few times a week is mandatory, and Mexicans are happy to oblige. Bi-weekly or even weekly salaries is the logical conclusion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

In this case it is synonymous with face-to-face communication. Business is almost never conducted over the phone or email because Mexicans like to do business with friends. Thus in person it is easier to evaluate one\u2019s level of trust and compatibility. Those aspects are also reflected in common body language. A kiss on the cheek and a hug are perfectly normal, men usually just shake hands.<\/p>\n<p>Open postures, eye contact and smiling are crucial ways to express interest, whereas crossed arms or hands may be viewed as disapproval and lack of interest. Do not worry if things get heated. Emotive speech and gestures lay within the Mexican temper and are therefore seen as further signs engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

Informal language is common practice among employees of the same rank. The formal \u201custed\u201d is used between managers and employees. At business meetings one should wait for the Mexican business partner to offer the informal \u201ctu\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Although speaking fluent Spanish is no prerequisite, knowing some basics such as \u201cBuenos d\u00edas\u201d, \u201cGracias\u201d or \u201cComo estas\u201d will prove useful. Especially, since in Mexican business culture personal matters and the well-being of each other are always discussed first. To get in the right mood and help with a natural start, meetings are often conducted during breakfast or lunch. It is quite common for managers to speak flawless English, yet workers normally do not. Hence, inform yourself in advance if a translator should be present.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any further questions regarding the business culture of Mexico, do not hesitate to contact us!<\/p>\n<p>Have you already found a possible business opportunity for your company yet?
