An Easy Alternative to Business Cards: Instant Email
Exchanging business cards is like breaking up with a significant other: you both smile, say you'll keep in touch, and never speak again. Ditch the inefficiency and cost of paper with a very simple alternative: have your new contact send you an email before you part ways. I've been experimenting with this method for a month with splendid results: I never miss a contact, never worry about messages getting caught in spam filters, it's easier to transfer contact info into my gmail contacts, and the conversation is readily teed up for a reply.For 90% of interactions, the instant email strategy works wonders; for the other 10%, use a combination of iphone card-scanning and todo list to ensure I don't waste the valuable time expended networking. Below are a few tips to make the whole process work smoothly, plus some advanced tips on making sure you follow-up 100% of the time.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/pVeZMBW0I28/
