Write for your small business card
Like nearly all of sales people, I visit an enormous selection of clients and prospects eachmonth, a fewfinally end up buying a fewdon't,Ray Ban RB3217 Metallic Frame Dark Green Lens Polarized Sunglass, but eachsingle one of the mostm has my business card. I attfinishbusiness breakfasts, seminars and other networking event in my seek for brand spanking new contacts and supremely new business, everyone I meet also gets a business card.
at some point a couple of years ago I realised that I not just hand out an enormous selection of vehicleds,Ray Ban RB3390 Silver Frame Grey Lens Sunglasses, but I also receive an even few myself. i determined to return through one of the most elderlyer ones to peer if i couldlocatea fewnew prospects. As i started to sift during them i began to perceivethat the majority of the peoples cards are now meaningless in isolation. Unless you're employed for one of the maximumfew companies who’s name actually reflects what you do, you can even be writing your telephone number on a work of paper and forgetting so as to add your name.

Likewise, all those people I were diligently handing my business card too had eachconceivable approach to contacting me, written there in black and white, but no idea what I do! It’s my job as a sales persdirectly to “put my face about”, make surei'm almethodscontactable and remember up to i will be able to a fewll my prospects (with perhaps,Ray Ban RB4088 Shiny Black Sunglasses, slightly assistancefrom my CRM). My prospects also are everyone else’s prospects, they're not looking for to keep in mind me, and they needslightly help.
I realised the answer is understated. WRITE for your small business CARDS!!!
Here’s the scenario: the professionalspect gets back to the office at some point and that is told they need a brand new providerfor widgets, it’s his job to seek out one. He remembers chatting with a couple of suppliers on the seminar but can’t remember exactly who, so he quickly flips during the cardboards collected, then, he comes across one, he can’t remember the name or the face to compare it, but, in greattransparentwriting it says “Widgets, budget to topend” Who gets invited in for a gathering?
I'm a type of people that guard my business cards at meetings. i do unlikemeaningless cardboard connections (exchanging business cards and not using a purpose). I'm do away with by someperson who says, "Hello, my name is.... here's my business card, am i able to have you everrs?" My suspicion is that i am going to be placed on someone's direct mail list. However, by first striking a chord, you've accomplished anythingessential for your networking mission -- you've found a reasdirectly to increase the connection beyond the progressionat that you met.
Not all prospects you meet are going to suit your perfectclient (or center of influence) profile. that is particularly true for me, since i've a highly specialized niche. Focus your attention on people who meet your criteria. Jot down notes at the back of the cardboard (the cause of the forged connection),Ray Ban RB3275 Black Frame Dark Green Lens Sunglasses, after which you definitely will have a talk point by which to construct your relationshipship on the following meeting or for your correspondence. Follow up quickly after the meeting by sending datayou promised.
The Term "cardboard connection" was coined by Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon authors of "Make Your Contacts Count"
