Don’t write on a person’s card in
their presence.
Taking notes is helpful but... It is like
writing on that person’s face
Never give a card that
is out of date,
contains errors or is
not in proper
conditions

When receiving
a card, study it
Represents a person: never
receive it and put it in your pocket
Offer yours
in return
Comment something about the card before putting
it away; this will help you remember that person
