How to Greet Clients (Without Shaking Hands)
1. Wave
A friendly wave can welcome someone into your office without fear of spreading germs.
2. Share Some Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizer has become the new gum. In that you share it, not that you should put it in your mouth.
3. Salute
Will it look awkward? Absolutely. But will everyone get a laugh? Yes, indeed.
4. Tip Your Hat
This, of course, means you must be wearing a hat at all times. But who doesn’t like feeling like an old-school private investigator?
5. Live Long and Prosper
Those of the more nerdy inclination might favor Spock’s iconic hand gesture, which is friendly but requires no touching.
6. Air High-Five
