Thank you very much!
We have no doubt that you are a polite lady and do not forget to say "thank you" when necessary. But keep in mind that by repeating this or that word too often, you are undermining its meaning. No need to thank them for every little help. It is enough to say this word at the end and once. Gravity Remember that you are a woman, even in a business meeting. But you don't have to smile and flirt all the time. Otherwise, men will perceive it as flirting. It is normal to talk to strangers in an unchanging tone of voice and a calm facial expression.
