The Etiquette of Exchanging Business Cards

[amlazarov]

Muslims use their left hand to wash their anal.

[MarlasanLovesCake]

I don't mean to sound disrespectful but could someone please explain why handing someone of the Muslim religion something with your left hand is an insult? I'm just interested because Ive never heard that before and I hope I haven't insulted someone on accident- Such a simple thing taken as an insult really makes you open your eyes !

[michaelpousti]

awesome work =)) good job keep it up!

[cannyfanny]

shit bruv, lost your face. can i get a new card?

[gohpenghng1]

step 1:grab card and talk about it and suddenly...

step 2 :crush it

step 3:look at him with a I PWN YOU NOOB face

[prodigytechus]

@gohpenghng1

Lol, I'll remember to do that to my competitor !

[superrewardshacker]

Thumbs up if you watched this because of the card crusher.

[Microglia1]

Is this woman Asian? Why does she say "they" when referring to Asians? I'm Japanese and I don't like non Japanese messing up our customs.

[Pramniana2]

Well, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I'm not sure that I believe that the subject matter relates as "international protocol." I live in America, and if I ever perceived someone to have taken insult to my treatment of a piece of paper (sized and of a more durable card stock, specifically made for placement in a wallet, I might add), I would have to call their sanity into question.

As far as how it is perceived in certain Asian countries, I bow before the poster's wisdom.

[dancj7]

It is a shame to see so many people who think this is funny. If you are doing business in Japan you should know this information. To make fun of it is showing your own low class and ill manners.

[SPA7X]

OH NOES! YOU LOST MY BUSINESS CARD! MY FAAAAAA...

(This comment could not be completed as this users face, and therefore his vision, has been lost. If found, please return to owner post haste and we will be sure to return it to the proper upper body face storage receptacle. Thank you)

[rawrberrys]

BUT I'M LEFT HANDED!!

fuck I'M doomed >.<

[Gliridae]

In Japan you give the card with both hands, and study it, then make a positive comment about it, before putting it away.. They other things she says sounds like what I have learned.

[MikeJustDidit]

i hand it with my left, so i can shake their hand with my right.

[Nvidiaguides]

HA!

"it is perceived as though you have lost their face..."

[GtheMVP]

Well, I'm left handed, so anyone offended by my natural tendencies can go and be anal with someone else. I know this has more to do with ass wiping, but I wash my hands, so eff-off

I believe deeply in the rule of law, personal property and the non-agression principle, so my intention is never to offend or hurt anyone, but I refuse to live under a set of rules created by bored rich people to make them feel special.

[rawrberrys]

@GtheMVP Yeah I agree. Wtf to they have against us left handy people eh? I wipe my ass with my right hand anyway.

[gschjetne]

This whole face obsession can't be healthy.

[useelaomega]

Be ready Asian women online  #lushfmlk.info#

[fireantfestival]

Very helpful thanks. I found myself in Taiwan and was suprised how seriously people took this card exchange procedure. Next time I'll know what to do.

[jjesuschristt]

She's a total jerk.and idiot also :) she's a dumb ass.

[coarikrdo]

Can anybody tell me briefly what this video?

[coarikrdo]

Can someone help me translate to Spanish this video?

Can anybody tell me briefly what this video?

[MarcoTUV]

@coarikrdo la tarjetas de presentacion deben darse con la mano derecha o con ambas manos

de la misma forma se deben recibir

jamas aceptas una tarjeta y rapido la guardes ni la pongas en tu cartera y la guardes en tu bolsillo trasero ya que es "como sentarse en la cara de una persona"

eso dice

[coarikrdo]

Can someone help me translate to Spanish this video?

[SwordBound]

omg you lost my face!!

[OverruledDood]

thanks, all be sure to disregard everything about this vid because im not a business junkie

[NickiAnn17]

oh man... that is better then i take care of my money!

[TheAppleMicrosoft]

its like sitting on a persons face lol

[Avdallabill]

this is a joke right?

[voxtoneonline]

[guzguz21]

God, I had no idea.

[apfire8]

Wow, that was great. Thank you.

[Kevade42]

very good!!

[tjv323]

"As though you have lost their face" LOL

[TissTime4Tea]

haha. the chinese set the standard for something. I thought they just screwed in bottletops and stole from americans and europeans. and by the way, I will write on your face then sit on it gook!

[OregonHerbalist]

IDIOTS! Chinese will never understand, they need to be told how to do things? Phony, counterfeit, liars, fake, thieves. China is the sewer of the world!

[musikmouse]

Please remember that even in the US business cards are seen as an extension of a person and if you carelessly cram it into you back pocket and mangle it then it gives the impression that you don't care what they think of you, and therefore have no respect for them or the postion that they hold or the company that they represent.

So you may not actually be "sitting on their face", but you will come across as being crass and a slob.

So even though this is very formal, it's not silly.

[MrWesley3000]

This is very informtive.. thank you Ms.Sied

[edwardnr17]

Card crusher, LOLOLOLOL

[lycan156]

HOLY SHIT ^.^

such freaking rubish.. who would care.. its just a piece paper

[allbingenopurge]

face sitting FTW

[berekleonard]

How the hell do we get to these perverted social norms? How stunted does a person's logic have to be to forget that business cards are, and have always been, a standard way to quickly exchange information in an easily retained form? Shouldn't they only warrant the same cultural etiquette as any exchange of personal information?

[warlock242]

If I was giving one to a pretty woman I'd be only too happy for her to sit on my face.

[Waffles1292]

I would crush the card!

[haliliu]

it about the face

[ShoppingQueen4ever]

well although i think what she said is true in Asian countries i think Americans are way more laid back and i dont think its the international "Protocol" maybe for CEO's and board of directors.....but thats not true for normal ppl with average jobs......if i did that ppl might think i am weird....who has time to remember all this...funniest part was " you lost their face" !!

[tecna666]

lol hey dud sorry I lost your face. you got ano- oh.

[seamusg]

To hell with not asking for another one, if someone lost my card I'd happily send them ten more if it means I get their business.

[zeetvdell]

what if i slap her and tear that f***king business card in er face ! would that be presentable?

[NocturnalBeing]

@zeetvdell

you should look up "card crusher".

[pipcomicillusionist]

I want her business card so I can put it in my back pocket then ask her for a second one to put in the other back pocket

[jackeescav26]

gayest thing ive ever seen

[CodeKitten]

If a person asked me for a second businesscard, I would be happy. It means the card means enough to them that they would openly admit that they have misplaced it.

There is no shame in asking for a new one. It shows appreciation. I totally disagree with Syndie on that one.

[ns88ster]

"Its like sitting on a persons face"

hahahahaha

[CodeKitten]

Bwhahahaha... that's hilarious!! :D

[neanderslob]

...Considered a great honor in my culture.

[teom78]

@ns88ster

It's funny because some japanese pay a lot of money to let people sit on their face...

:-D

[firebrandsgirl]

@teom78 yeah I guess but most men can get you do sit on thier faces for free. HAHAHA one drink and I am down for a freebie myself.

[eljiah]

@ns88ster some people like it so maybe its not a bad thing after all, LOL!

[eliluong]

good points!

[K1kuch1]

Well, i dont stress with trolls, this video can help you get a client or make a good sell. Asians DO care for this Etiquette. Anyone whos aims for a good bussiness life, learn this it will boost your ranks on your work life!

[rubent100]

haha shes asian so she thinks asians invented trading business cards. gtfo

[victoriaskincare]

Syndi is absolutely correct. When I was in Asia, I was prompted to do this very thing.

[johnchablo]

Great advice.

Now we are a global trading world, it helps to have information like this.

[seraphinapandora]

"It's as thought you have lost their face." LOL.

Interesting anyway.

[90G10]

definately pay attention to the card before putting it on your back pocket people will feel as you didnt care..........

alot of this shit is commonn sense.........

[certifiedjagga]

These tips are ballin' as shit nikka. Ima pass out my bidness cards err where.

[ChevalierAguila]

Cardcrusher would know what to do in this situation :D

[heyjeySigma]

haha I wish Cardcrusher was there...

[MrsOhnoMasaki]

This video is very useful. I have never exchanged business cards (I'm still young, so I don't have any)... but it is true- I have seen my dad exchanging cards and you have to be very respectful in countries like Japan.

[Dexter2907]

Goodness, isn't that interesting! I didn't realise the various considerations for other cultures and will definately take these comments on board. Thanks Syndie!

[Somerville87]

Great video. When travelling Asia, I found the cultural differences are very apparent. This video is great for informing us of the more subtle differences.

However, I could not help but laugh at its as if you have lost their face.

[7814679]

Most of the above posts are obviously from losers. Business or other people who regularly travel abroad adhere closely to the advice given in the video and they get along well. You losers who flip burgers for a living don't need to exchange business cards anyway.

[TheCSSJunkie]

Good word!

I think this video is very useful , especially when you try to start freelancing and have your own business cards, Presenting them as important as the quality of services you provide.

And +1 to your comment, these people are retards

[oneminutebeforenine]

the first part was good...until i hear losing face, as if sitting on someone else's face, and whatev-face she mentioned...just too much. Rolled my eyes much on the later part.

[usernamelame1]

paste this to 2 other videos

go to your channel and see your comments

[MashaGu]

:))

[biggertonys]

it just means she wants to. Dont miss that opportunity.

[firebrandsgirl]

@tankhard12 hahaah you know we women keep a lot up there. I was just thinking. Thank god, I can just put it in my boob.

[Just4Th3Lulz]

@tankhard12 That means she wants your face in her bra not her tits.

[JennelleBelle]

@tankhard12 loooool

[jslbrt]

She lost my face!

[Despierto]

Part of me respects this but I have to say etiquette is a form of elitism. Who decides this crap?. A piece of cardboard does not represent who you are. It's just a piece of paper with information. If you show respect to the person is enough. Want to impress? Memorize the information and recall on command my phone number, title email etc... THAT shows that you care.

Don't take the Japanese too seriously on these matters, they also made popular the Hara Kiri. Rant mode off.

[milomaliciouz]

how can u lose someones face?

[HailRasec]

ima do the exact same opposite XDDDDDDD

[akatsukifangirl11]

lol sitting on a person's face

[joktu]

lol.

"...it's like sitting on a person's face!" she says.

"...it's like writing on a person's face!" she says.

[weretheguys]

NO,NO,NO. You DON`T have to conform to their ways when you visit a country. You MUST obey that countries laws certainly, but you don`t have to copy the things they do. You must be joking. You should just be yourself. If a Muslim lady comes to live in the UK, does she have to stop wearing the Hijab? Of course not. I have more examples of why this idiom is stupid. No space alas. You need to examine this idiom. Enjoyed the badinage. I wish you well. Matthew.

[iamcolin]

sexy bitch

[planetfergal]

impressive

[VitiokasMozart]

Thanks Syndi.

[ChamindaBole]

Very good info. Once I take the card, I used to put it in my back hip pocket. I never do it again because I learnt from you the correct way of keeping business card. Thank you very much Syndi...

[brad11888111]

she doesnt say its bad for girls to put the card in their back pocket, cause its fine for a girl to sit on your face ahahahahaha

[weretheguys]

Calm down dear, it`s just a business card.

All this talk about etiquette is pathetic.

I firmly believe,that if you hand the card to someone with a friendly smile, then that`s enough. I`m Scottish, but live in Japan. I am not about to pretend to be Japanese. When in Rome do as the Romans do?....NO, that`s the most nonsensical idiom ever. JUST CALM DOWN, and hand the card over with a smile. The Japanese people are lovely, but too sensitive.

[XarisGuitars]

How is the idiom nonsensical? It makes perfect sense, that if YOU decide to go to someone ELSE'S country, you need to conform to their ways, not they to yours. Sounds like you're just too lazy to take the time to care.

[MyChineseConnection]

Wearing Chinese Glasses Greg Bissky!

[bracefaceacetherace]

I am left handed. I will accept your card with my beautiful left hand. Get used to it.

Ciao,

Michelle

[jerny]

Yes! I do agree! You will get LeFteD!

[dragonblogger]

good video, I had no idea about the right hand or both hand etiquette.

[cinemaluna]

I was familiar with some of the etiquette but it's great to see all of the protocol in one video. Thanks!

[MauriceFlower]

Good. Yet another good video.

[authorizedmakanic]

cool information and great tips.

simple but powerful
