regularly.
Before going out of your house, to a
meeting, event..etc , check your
Business Cards.
Keep stock of your Business Cards in
your car- for emergencies.
At the office, keep stock of business

or your office is to change location,
all of this must be updated in your
Business Cards once it happens-
having new business cards won’t
take 2 days.

holder – the more
professional , the better.
Card holders in Leather/
Metal with you initials/
name are impressive.

10. Business cards are made to
distribute- you can offer yours;
don’t expect all to give you theirs
( if higher ranks) – if in the same
level, ask gently : “May I have
yours? “

Business Card to the receptionist / secretary.
Once the meeting starts , exchange the Business
Cards.
In a meeting with more than one person,
arrange the business cards of the persons in the
meeting in front of you at the meeting table,
better to be in the order they are seated; this way
you are able to address the person with the name
, based upon the her/his specialty.

12. Bring as much as you can of business
cards, the phrase ”Excuse me , I am out
of Business Cards” is not accepted- you
must be planning for this.
In networking events- offer first to give
yours .”May I give you my Business
Card?”

13. In a meeting , or networking
event make one pocket for your
Business Cards, and another for
the ones you receive
After the networking event –
make small notes/hints to the
Business Cards you have in order
to memorize the persons after
the event.

14. Show respect and interest in
the person who gave you ,
her/his Business Card by
reading it- if you give a note
about what is written it
would be a plus.
Keep the cards you got in an
easy to use card folder.
