In this modern world of e-mails, smartphones, tablets and social network sites, etiquette seems to have fallen by the wayside.  Some may think that rules imposed by others diminish our freedom of expression, but in business, etiquette is still essential.  You can find a lot of companies that advise other companies on etiquette, but we’re only sharing some basic rules of business etiquette that make people feel good.
