is a catch-all greeting used at any time by speakers from Southern Germany and Austria.
When meeting a business
contact for the first time, expect to shake hands and exchange
business cards. In some German offices shaking hands is part of the daily
ritual, so don't be surprised if a round of handshaking precedes a
day's work.
Use someone's title if you know it.
