Punctuality is the primary issue one should consider while arranging the business visits in the US. If you realize that you are going to be late to the business meeting, be sure place a telephone call and notify your partners about the delay.
It is important to realize that women in the US are emancipated and frequently they take up managing posts. It is important to understand that business women should be treated carefully. No personal questions or flirting are acceptable. Choose your words carefully and focus on the business. Give a firm handshake at the meeting to both businessmen and businesswomen.
Business cards are not normally exchanged at the meeting, i.e. if you need your colleague's contact information, you should ask for a card. It is ok to give you card to someone, but there is no formal procedure of exchanging cards.
In every situation it is important to remember that business issues are prioritized at the meeting. For example, if a meeting occurs over a meal, business discussions frequently start before meal.
