The Business Card: a Social Faux Pas
You, like most people, probably have been in such a situation where you are being asked for a business card, and while reaching for it ... and ... oops ... “I'm sorry, I must be out at the moment” or “they must be in my other bag” or “I left them at the office, I'm sorry,” and the conversation continues on with some sort of story about how this “never happens to me” or “I knew I was forgetting something this morning ...”
Misd connections are misd opportunities for business. Business cards are a uful marketing tool, and an easy one to have with you at all times. Not having your cards can be en as being unprepared to market yourlf and your business. Don't start that new contact leaving them thinking “that person is already unprepared”.
“Never leave home without it ...” There are so many things we often have to remember in this go-go world we are living in … but your business cards should ALWAYS be with you.
Here are a few tips for you to go take care of this right now, so you
don't get caught in this situation:
✧ If you don't have a job, get Networking Cards.
✧ If you are employed, and haven't had new cards in 2 or more years,it could
be time for an update: info update and photo update ...
✧ Perhaps t a goal of handing out 5 cards a day.
✧ Practice what you will say when handing them out. On a daily basis, there are so many opportunities to do so. Grocery store lines, coffee shops, waiting on your car wash, meetings, and even the dog park!
✧ Ask your network to network with and for you also by handing out a few!
Work smarter, not necessarily harder!
