Have you ever been in Brazil? Do you know how the people interact with each other either in the beach or maybe in a company? The principal word for a good relationship in any area in Brazil is sympathy. The Brazilian people are always able to help someone but for it is necessary to be friendly. In the field of business, it is essential for a good relationship between the both stakeholders to be friendly and respect the Brazilian culture of business. There are many steps to be successful in the Brazilian market, but the mainly three are a good introduction, small talk, and respect.

First of all, a meeting related with business needs to have a good beginning. The employees have to wear according to a situation. In Brazil, an important meeting can occur in different places, since a formal office until the beach for example. In each place, there is a specific kind of clothes to wear to pass a good impression. In addition, the conversation only starts after a warm handshake. It is an old tradition in Brazil and needs to be respected.

Next, another important step in a Brazilian reunion of business is the small talk. After the introduction, the stakeholders never start to get along about the affairs, they need before talk about a topic that is not related with the business, just to create a kind of familiarity. A good suggestion is talking about soccer, this is the best topic to dialogue about in Brazil, and I am sure that the Brazilian part will be happy to talk about this.

Finally, the most important thing in a meeting either in Brazil or any countries in the world is the respect. Each involved person in the negotiation needs to be respectful with the others. A good advice is always talk with the same level of voice and never increase his tone, it can be viewed like a disrespectful act. In addition, a valuable advice for each person who will make business in Brazil is always try to be friendly and charismatic, sometimes just a smile can change the course of a negotiation.

In short, in Brazil the stakeholders must have respect each other, like any another country in the world. But the difference in a Brazilian negotiation is the sympathy and how the businessman can look like a friendly person during his meeting.  So, before start a negotiation in Brazil, you must improve your sympathy and try to adapt for different situations, but remember, never take out your smile from your face.
