Current Hispanic purchasing power is 8.5% of total U.S. purchasing
power, but will reach 11% by 2010, when taking into account factors such as the narrowing
Hispanic vs. overall U.S. income gap and the increase in the number of Hispanic households with
earned income.

| Before you begin your business meeting with your Hispanic client,
remember to greet them with a hug or a warm friendly greeting and ask about his or her family.
It is important to get to know your Hispanic client first, then conduct business. This will set
the tone for the rest of the business relationship. |
