辦公室可說是一間公司的樞紐，出入的員工眾多，前來到訪的客人也不少，自然成為一個重要的接待場所。接待員（receptionists）除了要講究儀表和禮貌，對待客人的態度，以至是化妝與笑容等，樣樣都應一絲不苟。筆者曾有過6年多培訓receptionists的經驗，而首要的訓練項目並不是接待的英語，而是怎樣對著客人面帶笑容，哪怕只是招牌式的笑容，一般的90後就要花上一段頗長時間去練習－「賣笑」並不是想像中那麼容易。

當外國客人來了，應詢問有關公司姓名及到訪目的等資料，如需客人等候，應熱情地安排他們就座、給沖咖啡、泡茶及看報刊等。這些基本的接待，相信大家亦非常清楚。其實，接待客人不單是receptionists的職責，公司裏的每一個人，甚至是老闆，都應在人手不足的情況下隨時補上。只要我們能掌握以下接待客人時的禮貌用語，做到態度熱情大方，公司上下每一個人，務必能使每一位到訪的外國客人有賓至如歸的感覺。
