What do I do with all of these business cards?

Tuesdays Tips & Tools – Organizing Business Cards

Ok so you attend networking events and you do a great job at collecting business cards.. but now what?

Step 1: Install the app called CamCard onto your smart phone.
Step 2: Gather all your cards and scan them in!
Step 3: Put together a “reason” to reach out to them.
Step 4: Email them through Camcard or hire a telemarketer to call them.

Example: You are a Deal Site Marketer. ( This means you put businesses on Daily Deal Sites and take a percentage of the deal.) So you’ve been to networking events and collected a lot of business cards, but you haven’t done anything with them yet!
So lets go through the steps above again:

Step 1: Install the app called CamCard onto your smart phone.

Step 2: Gather all your cards and scan them in!

Step 3: Put together a “reason” to reach out to them.

Call Script:
Hello Jenny it’s Alicia Lyttle. We met at a networking event. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you – I’ve been super busy with all my clients and the deals we are running for them, but I haven’t forgotten about you. Let chat about putting your business on a deal site and how I can help you. I have an opening on Thursday at 2, will that work for you? We will only need 10 – 15 minutes.

Step 4: Email them the script through Camcard or hire a telemarketer to call them. If I was hiring a telemarketer I would change it like this:

Telemarketer call script:
Hello Jenny it’s Amy, Alicia Lyttle’s assistant. You and Alicia met at a networking event. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you – I’ve been super busy with all of our clients and the deals we are running for them, but I haven’t forgotten that Alicia wants to meet with you. So, I’d like to set up an appointment for you two to meet. She’ll tell you all about how we can help you generate more clients, leads and exposure. I have an opening on Thursday at 2, will that work for you? You two will only need 10 – 15 minutes to touch base. Can I pencil you in?

Business Person: Sure that works

Assistant: Great. Write don this number please, it’s our conference line, she’ll meet you on that line at 2pm. I’ll send you an email as well. I have your email as XXXXXXX@gmail.com – is that correct?

Business Person: Yes

Assistant: Great! I’ll let Alicia know. If you need anything between now and then, let me give you our phone number and email. Our number is XXXXXX and our email is XXXXXXXXXX. People usually get so excited about running on a deal site that that have questions before meeting with Alicia, so I like to make sure you have our contact details.
