There is a maxim in the business world, “Network or not work.” A growing number of professional networking efforts are a manifestation of putting this maxim to practice. One of the major keys to networking is communication. The importance of communication can never be denied in any walk of life, particularly when it comes to dealing with business. One of the most effective communication tools in the corporate world is a business card! Are you heading to a local or regional “TweetUp” or perhaps a LinkedIn get together where you’ll be able to meet potential clients, partners, and customers? If so, you need to ensure that your business cards are up to date with accurate information and are visually appealing to the people that you meet. Whether you are using it to expand your professional network or for establishing new working relationships, a business card says a lot about you and your business before you verbally introduce yourself.

Just as planning is necessary for every step in growing your business, planning for what type of business card you want to design is critical as well. To begin with, you should have an idea of a background you want, which type of font style you like, and how you want your information displayed on the card. Do you have a company logo or do you want to have a picture of yourself or your business on your card? If so, you have the option of uploading your logo or photo and placing wherever you wish on your card while you’re using the Card Editor to create it. Don’t forget about the back of your business card! Use it to print a message, a coupon, or directions to your business. Don’t be afraid to get creative with the backside of your business card. This is valuable advertising space for your company – take advantage of it and use it. Printing on the back of your card can be vital in disseminating company information at networking events big and small.

Every Country in the world has its own culture and value base. The changing face of the world’s economy has seen some of the most successful Countries of the 20th Century in danger of losing their economic stronghold in the 21st.

China for example has found itself in the midst of social, economic and cultural changes; it now stands second in the league for richest countries. English language levels in this country are quite sketchy. Mandarin is the most common language as well as the official dialect, the aid of a translator is necessary to avoid misunderstandings and mistranslations.

It is important when dealing with other cultures, to recognise that, your own culture and sense of identity can have an impact on your approach to work and business later in life. It would be prudent to do some research on any culture you may be working with.

When dealing with colleagues or clients from a different culture, you need to know your own approach to culture and the approach of the other culture. This should form part of your business strategy or structure; most people conform to a certain national business culture, in order to spot differences you will need to be able to communicate effectively, the services of a translator or interpreter should be a prime consideration.

As we are already aware, communication problems do not arise solely due to the fact that people speak different languages, other factors can make cross culture communication difficult. For example what one culture feels to be a very positive communications style, can be seen as downright rude by another culture. Misreading a situation because of differing communication styles is bad for business.
