How To Exchange Business Cards

By on February 25, 2005 in Ideas

NFIB: “When someone hands you his business card, hold the card by its edges, thank the person and read the card. You can inadvertently convey disrespect if you grab the card and simply shove it into your pocket. Absorbing what is on the card not only shows that you are interested, it also gives you a chance to learn something about the person and the company that could help you transition into a meaningful conversation.”

    first, thanks for linking to my blog.

    the exchanging of business cards is an elaborate ritual in many Asian countries, especially in Japan.

    It should always be given with both hands, and received with both hands with a slight bow, and yes, it is polite to read the card and make a comment or two.

    I found a good tool for exchange business card online and also manage business card. The website is http://www.swap-card.com and they also provides a adobe or ms.net version of the same tool for desktop (linux and windows). Found very interesting and useful.

    One of the main advantage i found is displying the distance between each contacts using google map.
