Working With Americans: How To Graciously Ask Someone For Their Business Card

How can I graciously ask someone for his or her business card?

The best way to graciously ask someone for their business card, is to give your card gracefully to someone that you want to have it, and ask them if you can exchange business cards. But make it a big deal with such phrases as “I'm so glad to meet you. Can we exchange business cards? I'd really love to contact you. I'd really love for you to contact me.” If you feel that “love” is not the right word then use “I'd enjoy talking to you, would you call me? I'll call you. Let's make time. How's that?” Something simple. People have gotten far too stuck up about things, so just relax. Talk to people, make that human connection which is so missing in business today. People are afraid of each other in business today, instead just be caring as people respond to that compassion, and that is the best way to graciously ask someone for their business card.
