Name Card Etiquette: 7 Rules to Remember When Exchanging Name Cards Part Two

Asking The Other Person’s Name Card 

In asking for a name card, we don’t need to hesitate, this will add to the intimacy of the other person. Even if we don’t ask it will give the impression of indifference. Don’t we really need his/her name card? 

Reading The Other’s Person Name Card 

Avoid immediately putting the name cards that we receive into our pockets. You can make the other person’s name card a topic of conversation or ice-breaking. For example, questions about the company or the position and contacts listed on the printed namecard. 

Keep It On The Table 

If you continue with the meeting afterwards, keep a name card on the table to make it easier for you to remember the profile of the person you are talking to. Avoid playing with another person’s name card, such as being scribbled, rolled, or folded. 

Even though name cards are often considered trivial, it turns out that name cards have many benefits in promotion and branding in Singapore. In addition, making it a habit of exchanging name cards with people you just meet can show your respect for that person.

But you should pay attention to the ethics of exchanging name cards according to the explanation above so that your interlocutor still feels comfortable when receiving a name card from you. Good luck!
