Universal business ritual and expectation
What’s the purpose of a business card? Means of introduction Exchange contact information Small, portable marketing tool Often used at the point of buyer’s decision-making

Handle cards you receive with visible respect Don’t fiddle with, fold or trash it, or write on the front Be aware of cultural trends regarding business cards
Look at the card before putting it away Comment or clarify any information If not sure how to pronounce something, ask Ask a brief question to show interest Keep it out during the meeting to refer to if needed
Don’t ask for a card from a senior or an executive Instead, if necessary, ask how you can follow up with
them, and let them choose whether to provide you with a business card or other contact instructions

It is advisable to include a professional title or to include your specialty skills.
A tagline is a brief description that can be useful if your company name is not descriptive. You can easily convey your skills, abilities, or goals with a tagline.
Be sure all information is correct and that voicemail greetings are appropriate. Also, select email addresses that are professional in nature.
