Which one is effective in business, informal or formal?

[Shavkat]

I think both combination must be there o much formality leads to fear of talking

I do think that we can be flexible in using both options: informal or formal. It is how we weigh if the client is serious or not. If he or she is a serious type one, he or she needs to be formal as much as possible.

Some people see themselves as gods because they are paying them salaries. I admire bosses that are humble and down to earth. And those ones have good staff working with them.

Lol, that is how some people behave. they always feel too bossy and I don't think that is good because a lot of good workers will leave.

Honestly, I cannot work for such kind of people because they'll always try to frustrate your efforts. Working with humble bosses is enjoyable.

I think the informal type of business is the one better than the others. The reason being informal does not involve much things like the longer process in compliance with the legal requirements by the government.

 

[Heatman]

Both of them are possible in business. Sometimes formal way in business can cause delay of imposing something. At some point, informal can be effective once done by others especially during the urgent matter.

As far as I'm concerned, it's far more better for you to be formal when it comes to how to handle your business and also with your workers.

I am a mix of formal and an informal boss. The formality is needed so as to set boundaries while the informal angle is necessary to maintain a happy working atmosphere.

Honestly speaking the one that is thriving in my country is the informal kind of the business. This is because there is less regulations and licensing in the informal sector that the formal.

There are times when you should be formal with them and there are times when you should be informal. It just needs to be interwoven so that the relationship will be balanced

Informal communication does it. We all need informal way of doing business. This is because customers will relate better when one is more informal with them as they will feel at home.

Most times, being formal in a business ensures that things don't go wrong. If the client takes the informal route, it's okay to change tactics and engage in an informal manner too.

 

[cherry123]

Yeah being a little formal in a business when the need arises isn't bad but you need to ensures that things don't go wrong with the method. but taking the informal route does it better.

 

[Suba]

Formal or informal can be done and really depends on your interests, for example you are going to make a trading license and it must be submitted officially/formally. but you can contact the licensing department informally so that your trading license can be completed quickly.

It is also not good for a business to be wholesome formal, it must be a mixture of informal so customers will not feel awkward. And how could a business be called formal?

You don't have to be constantly formal or informal. You would have to discern when to use a formal approach and an informal approach. That's what we call striking a balance.

 

[cherry123]

You are right, more that a little to the left and a little to the right just that you create a balance. it is good to always apply the one you need fot for a particular situation

 

[Heatman]

It is very necessary to run your business in a formal way so I think formal goes for me

It will save you a lot of stress to run your business in a formal way because it will get out all the rubbish that is going to draw your business back.

 

[cherry123]

Treating some people in a formal way depends on the attjride of the person. A nice buyer can be treated in a very formal way than a customer with bad attitude

 

[Passiveearner]

I think that any kind of business could be lucrative. However, you must make sure that the product should be in demand and you select the right kind of location for your business.

 

[Abdul01]

It is also not good for a business to be wholesome formal, it must be a mixture of informal so customers will not feel awkward. And how could a business be called formal?

You are actually right , there are times you need to be informal with customers especially if you are the type that doesn't really smile , it will make customers think you are putting up an attitude towards them

If you give humans an inch, they would want to take a mile. It is better to avoid it entirely. Just deal with your staff in a formal way to gain your respect.
