Card Etiquette
1. Don't pass out cards during a meal. Leave your cards at home during social
(as opposed to business networking) functions.
2. Don't give your cards to senior executives or CEOs unless asked. Instead,
ask for permission to contact his or her place of work, or mail him or her
a card afterwards.
3. Always handle cards you receive with the respect. That's their career your
holding.
4. Study foreign usage, conventions, and customs.
5. Consider printing a two-sided card. On one side, print your contact information
in English, and on the other, print it in the primary language of the other
country. A photo is also a good idea since gender-specific first names are
often not recognized in other countries.
6. Be creative when handing out your card. Offering your card with both hands,
for example, creates an enormous psychological impact. Introduce yourself with
your card. Use the back of your card to write notes. Sign your name (or a brief
messsage) on the front of the card.
