Three of the thirteen

Ask the second question. Anyone can ask one. Follow up on their answer and you'll be remembered.

Never check your phone at the table. Out of sight, not face down. The person in front of you outranks it.

Stand to greet. Sit down last. When someone joins your table, rise. Few men still do it, and everyone notices.
