Because some Mexican businessmen you encounter may not have had many dealings with women in positions of authority, you should demonstrate your competence, skill and authority. Talk and behavior considered sexist and inappropriate in the United States may well have to be endured in Mexico. Mexican men, business colleagues included, will pay foreign businesswomen many compliments and may even be flirtatious. Foreign businesswomen should not invite Mexican businessmen to dinner unless their spouses also come along. If invited out to dinner or to socialize by a male Mexican colleague, a businesswoman should make it clear that no opportunity for romance exists.
Appearances are important.
