German term

Telefonvisitenkarte

German to English Marketing Marketing
In a guide used for cold call marketing training. I haven't come across this term before, and assume it's something like a phone log of sorts. No context, just listed in a questionnaire. Any ideas on the correct English equivalent?

TIA

telephone etiquette

There's as much on this on Google as on Telefonvisitenkarte, and it's pretty much the same.
Peer comment(s):

agree Kcda : Sounds plausible. Similar to "netiquette" conventions or rules of communication "presence".

A great first impression on the phone

The explanation is fairly easy to find if you google Telefonvisitenkarte, however, I don't know of an equivalent term in English, I am just guessing here.
Peer comment(s):

agree BrigitteHilgner : No idea whether this is the "correct" term, but this is definitely what the German Telefonvisitenkarte means.

Music on the telephone raises the awareness of your products and service. Made especially for your company, this contributes to your Corporate Identity. A company establishes a "phonetic presence" or an "acoustic business card" - and this for every branch.

phone business card

I would say that the expression refers to the introductory presentation of the caller, which playsthe role of a business card when you visit your prospective customer in person. "My name is XXX; I work with YYY; our company is located [...] and [does such and such]"; thereafter, the caller will communicate further details, and try to sell her/his product, if the person on the other end does not hang up.
