Ignoring local customs almost sunk a deal for me.

I assumed business was universal, but a misstep showed me otherwise. Adapting to traditions now shapes my approach.

Yeah, been there. I once assumed a formal handshake was standard, but a more casual greeting was actually expected and it threw off the whole vibe at first.

Same here, I used to overthink greetings but now I see a casual hello breaks the ice way faster.
