At first meetings, address New Zealanders by their title or Mr., Mrs., Mis, and their surname. Once a relationship is established, New Zealanders quickly progress to a first-name basis.
Appointments Always be on time or early to appointments.
Tardiness is bad business. Negotiating New Zealanders value their egalitarian society. Emphasize honesty and forthrightness in negotiations. Avoid hype and ostentation. Entertaining New Zealanders love to entertain.
