Managing Director and Director - is there a difference and what do you put on your business cards / email sigs?

I don't put down the fact that I'm a director on my business card, I just use my core skill - it's more relevant.

Aye.

Talking to some people a while ago at the project launch party and it was concluded that job titles on business cards are old hat.

Not really - for example you could have:

Sockpuppet - Executive Long Haul Specialist

Sockpuppet - Director of Haulage

Sockpuppet - Vice President, Trucking Division

think of the respect you'll get from the girlies...

I don't put a title in email or on a business card.

Some letters I sign as "Managing Director" or "Technical Director" or with not title, depending on the audience and the subject.

Modesty prevents me from revealing my true title of HRH Pontiff Supreme Commander Imperius.

My business cards are blank. Has this caused my recent ill fortune?

Mine say 'Top Geezer' under my name and my logo is a half full pint of beer.

'BeerCo Systems Incorporated Limited'

with a little slogan under the name

'Give us your business mate'

I think Director is the legally official one ... The others (MD, Executive Director etc) are dependent on the company structure ... If you are a typical one-man band contractor, doesn't really matter ....

What your business card/ says, should depend on the receipient ... To clients, agents and my network, my card mentions '<myskill> consultant' .. For other places, like banks, insurance etc, I use my 'Director' card ...

I'm a Director.

Because that's what my company documents say I am.

Nothing more
Nothing less.
