職場(chǎng)心經(jīng)

對(duì)于不同職位的人，送禮各有講究，只有懂得送禮的技巧，才能達(dá)到預(yù)先的效果，否則還會(huì)適得其反。以下是一些送禮的技巧，以供參考：

1．了解對(duì)方的品位。要知道送禮不是使自己高興，而是要讓別人開心。所以送禮前一定要先了解清楚對(duì)方的品位、喜好。

2．不可包含動(dòng)機(jī)，應(yīng)當(dāng)盡量避免一些有影射性含義的禮物。

3．喜歡你送出的禮物。如果連你自己都不喜歡某種禮物，便不應(yīng)該讓別人收到這種禮物。

4．根據(jù)受禮人的職業(yè)，選購(gòu)較為實(shí)際的禮物。

5．衡量送禮的價(jià)值。禮物的價(jià)值應(yīng)以你與收禮者的關(guān)系來(lái)衡量，以避免令雙方尷尬。

6．可送有代表意義的禮物。這類禮品往往更有特色，也更能在某個(gè)時(shí)刻喚起對(duì)方特定的回憶。
