How to import contacts from iPhone to Macbook Address Book?

Whenever I go under
iTunes > Info > Sync Contacts

It tries to import my empty contact list ON my mac to my iPhone, rather than import my iPhone contacts onto my Mac. How do I import my contacts into my address book?

Please be specific, because from my previous research on how to do it… It was a very vague explanation.

Use iCloud.

From the iCloud Help…
* Contacts overview
iCloud Contacts is a web-based application you access from a web browser on your Mac or Windows computer. With iCloud Contacts, you can manage your contacts online, and any changes you make are automatically pushed to each device you set up with iCloud Contacts. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your device to your computer to keep your contacts current.
* Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
Go to icloud.com/contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
If you're already using another application on icloud.com, click the iCloud button (or press Shift-Esc on your keyboard), then click Contacts.
