Guys, Carry Your Cards With Class

The business card may seem like an inconsequential piece of card stock, a little 2 x 3.5-inch rectangle printed with a corporate logo and a person’s name, title and contact information. In the States, everyone seems to have a business card, from the entry level copy clerk to stay-at-home “domestic engineers”. Over here, we exchange business cards, collect them, jot notes on the back, use ‘em as coffee coasters and bookmarks. But businessmen who travel around the world will find that exchanging business cards abroad can often be a more formal affair. Understanding and following business card etiquette while visiting different foreign countries will help you gain respect and make valuable contacts.

Tips For Guys About Tipping

The act of tipping can often raise a lot of questions and debates; it seems everyone has an opinion about how large or little of a gratuity to leave. While it is widely accepted that 15 to 20% is the norm when tipping the waiter or waitress at a sit-down restaurant, it seems that the exact amount isn’t necessarily tied to performance. Research has shown that tippers tip more from fear of social disapproval than they do for actual good service. Oh, and they tip to “feel good” too, from assuaging guilt over being in a higher economic position or just because the sun is shining.
