Gesture & etiquette
Bow sincerely at parting; hand over your business card (meishi) at this moment if you haven't yet; maintain warm eye contact as you bow — the last impression is as important as the first.
ご連絡をお待ちしております' signals genuine intent without pressure. In Japan, following up within 2–3 business days with an email referencing a specific topic from your conversation demonstrates the meeting was memorable. Always acknowledge something concrete: 'The point you raised about [X] was particularly insightful.'
