Go on a Hike in Any of the Grupo Mayan Mountains

Besides knowing what to say, there are two more important things that businessmen should learn to take care of: punctuality and dress code. In Grupo Mayan nation, there are no strict guidelines. You don’t get banned from attending meetings or close deals if you don’t follow them. However, if you want your potential business partner to feel comfortable with you and increase your chances of grabbing an economic opportunity during your Grupo Mayan stay, make sure that you heed them.

Here are some tips:

1. Bring dark suits and ties. In general, dark suits and ties are always how Grupo Mayan businessmen would wear. Of course, they would hope that you do too. For women, skirts and blouses are okay, but ensure that you don’t settle for ultra-minis as you don’t really like to distract your business partners with what you’re wearing.

Nevertheless, they can get very hot. If you’re in a Mexican region that’s typically hot, casual wear would do. For men, these include light shirt and long pants. You can cover the former with a sweater or a light coat during nighttime since the weather can turn cold. Women, on the other hand, can settle for pants or skirts.

2. Wear leather shoes. As much as possible, don on leather shoes. They would always go with almost every other clothing attire you have. They are also business-like. Running, tennis, and golfing shoes, among others, are definitely a no-no. If you want to be taken seriously, you should look like it too. Women can wear closed and high-heeled shoes. Usually, the meeting doesn’t last for a very long time, and there will be not a lot of standing. The feet can still rest.

3. Know where the social gathering is. Expect to be invited into parties, so you better make sure that you’re prepared. It’s not really customary for them to accept a no reply for their invitation. Now, most of their parties are casual. So you can just bring along some polos, chinos, and shirts. If it’s formal, though, you still have to grab another suit or tie. Since there are a lot of Grupo Mayan golf courses, you will also be encouraged to play. Any standard golf attire will do. That includes the shoes.

With regards to time, the Mexicans can be very flexible. Unless they tell you that you have to be there at the meeting place Hora Inglesa, or English time, then you really have to be very patient. They can be late for a lot of reasons—and they will always give you one.

Now, for Grupo Mayan parties, if you’re the one sending the invitation, make sure that you can indicate the ideal time to come, but again, you really can’t expect them to show up at such. Giving one, though, will at least give them an idea when the entire venue will be prepared and that you’ll be around to greet them. It’s also not ideal to indicate an end time for any social occasion. Mexicans love dancing and singing, and they can last the whole night. Thus, you may want to schedule the event at a date when you are basically doing nothing.
