Since we are now approaching the 2nd steps in our China Project, we will now be engaging in more meetings with distributors, etc. I suggest to have ourselves equipped with a business cards with Chinese characters. This will be very helpful in meetings, introductions, presentation of the company, and as a good first (and lasting) impression for prospective partners and counterparts in China.
Chinese are obsessed with (job) Titles and business cards, and we should be ready with one. Let us also familiarize ourselves with proper handling and presentation of the card at the start and during business meetings. It may sound absurd and frivolous, but that's how they do it in China.
We should have one side of our business card in Chinese. That includes the Chinese name/characters for Dragon Edge Group as a company name.
Our Names in Chinese, job title as well, we may change it to make easier to understand in Chinese.
