I'll keep the protocol in mind, as I'm meeting an Asian advisor tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>I think you're supposed to read the card you receive. That's impossible in some lighting conditions but carrying/using a flashlight seems like overkill :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing, John.Promodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11239089296177027814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440050530685499478.post-62827019829755736842007-09-26T13:56:00.000-04:002007-09-26T13:56:00.000-04:00Thanks Promod..I have found that as important as having a proper business card, it is of little value unless you hand that card to someone properly. A business card represents who you are, what you do, and how you do it. When dealing with Asian clients, I learned to hand a card to the recipient using both hands. I was offering myself to the recipient in the gesture. Whether you use one hand or two, the "pass" is vital as it reflects as much about who you are, as how you are dressed or prepared for a meeting.John Tabetwealth-by-design.canoreply@blogger.com
