Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking business environments, the word 'contacto' is preferred over 'persona de referencia' for brevity. Remember that 'estado' can refer to a U.S. state, a Mexican state, or any sub‑national region, so the context should make the geographic scope clear. Formal settings often use the full name and title (e.g., 'María López, gerente de ventas').
