On the other hand, not having business cards can come across as amateur and lose you points. I'd keep the cards handy but give them out to those who ask for them or those who give you theirs. If they ask for your card, ask for theirs too.
- ronnier 16y agoThat's a good rule. I had cards made but rarely use them. When I did, it felt awkward, as if I was a salesman. I'll apply your rule and only give them out when asked.
- petercooper 16y agoWhen I did, it felt awkward, as if I was a salesman. Do you find it annoying when nice, non-pushy people give you their business card? I appreciate that things like this can feel awkward internally (it still does to me), but I realized that if I don't mind other people doing certain things, maybe they don't mind me doing it too. Just another way of looking at the situation ;-) (Yeah, I picked this up in a CBT session for social anxiety..)
- ronnier 16y agoNope, not at all. Probably because they are usually business type people and it being the common thing to do in their circles, so they are good at it.
