I recently spent a weekend looking for a used car. I went to about 15 stealerships and used car lots and ended up with a pile of cards. But one salesman stands out in my memory strictly because of his business card presentation. Most salesmen/women just handed me thier cards without much attention to how they did it but one guy "presented" his card to me. He handed it to me held by both hands with his index fingers and thumbs touching the card just enough to hold the card. He held it out squarely in front of himself with the face showing so that when I took it from him I could not miss seing his name. It was done with some thought to what he was doing which made it stand out from all the rest. I got thinking on my way home in the car I didn't buy from him (he didn't have what I wanted) that I'm going to "present" my cards from now on.

How do you distribute your cards when you meet someone?
