But the truth is I do shake hands when meeting someone. But after I've met you, best believe i'll probably fist bump you. If that makes me unprofessional then so be it. At least I won't go home from a show sneezing & coughing, lol And those that want to make $$$ will still contact me. Those that will give up $$$ cause of a fist bump probably didn't have much business anyways.....
You misunderstood me.
I did not say I would refuse a deal because of that. I said that I would think "what is this joker doing". And then your business deal would prove me wrong afterwards, but my first impression would be bad, I would be less likely to initiate business talks with said person.

I understand it when you do it with business partners you know very well, when your partnership has some degree of "friendship".

Loud nightclub is another story, it is kind of "after party" and not an actual business setting, so it is not that bad.
