How to Use Toasting in Everday Business
Make Your Best Impression Blog · September 13, 2009
Here is a practical success story to share about how to use a toast. As a veteran in the hospitality industry as well as a certified meeting planner, I also consult with meeting planning clients to assist them in securing and negotiating contracts in cities and hotels for conventions.
Last year, at an industry event one of my clients was narrowing down their location for their 2010 event. The prospective city host invited us to join his team for the open night dinner. Although we had already selected his location, we decided to wait to share the news with maximum impact.
I had the pleasure to lead our group in a short toast to thank our lovely host and finally announce his city was selected as the site for 2010. You could have felt the joy regarding the element of surprise and timing. It was a gesture that no one will forget. This is just one way you can use a toast, if done well, to show honor or congratulate- or both.
