How toInstantlyConnect withAnyone
Leil Lowndes

The Japanese may not be touchy-feely with people, but they sure are with business cards, observes Leil Lowndes in How to Instantly Connect with Anyone ( www.tatamcgrawhill.com). “Th ese polite people call it meishi. The word has the cachet of the ceremonial aspect of exchanging cards.”

When you receive a card, don’t just glance at it and quickly stash it into your pocket or purse; hold it with both hands and gaze at it as though it were a small piece of art hand-painted especially for you, Lowndes guides. You don’t have to be Japanese to show respect to business cards, he adds.

Similarly, when presenting your card, do it with pride, the author recommends. Helpful takeaways.
