Business cards are still a vital part of face-to-face networking. In this electronic age, business cards are still the easiest, most effective and most professional way to exchange information. The next effective step is to record the information into your database. Then feel free to dispose if you are so inclined. Etiquette is that if you want someone to have your card, you ask for hers/his first. If the person doesn’t ask in return, I don’t give. Not every encounter results in business potential for both parties.
