5 Smart Tips For Using Business Cards
Your
business card
How do I introduce you?
It should belong to the scope of your professional image, not what it said, "I got this contract in Vistaprint," whether you get a business card from your employer or your own business card designed to represent your small company, your business card will speak for you for a long time after the end of your interview.
But Don Hurzeler, the author and 27 years' veteran of Hors Tate (Allstate), believes that business cards are one of the most unused tools in the workplace that people can choose.
Many people do not ask for cards from people who meet for the first time, because they feel that they are doing too much.
Other people do collect business cards and throw them into a disorderly drawer -- essentially throwing them away as rubbish.
What a serious mistake, Hurzeler said, "I have almost every business card handed to me. A contact is a contact. It is impossible to tell you in advance which one will be the most important to you," Hurzeler said.
Here are his five secrets. Make sure your business card and contact card are available for you.
1, define your image.
Just like you are beautiful.
Suit
Business cards are also a direct way to convey your image to people you meet.
"Business cards can't be cheap.
They are not very expensive in professional printing, "Hurzeler said.
To use good quality and feel heavier card paper, do not print any strange advertisements on the back to make sure that the things you design are easy to scan.
"I have a lot of business cards that other people have given me, and the design looks cool, but my scan software thinks it is a bunch of passwords, there is no way to read it," Hurzeler said.
2, we need to make some choices.
You can't be stingy on business cards, but avoid taking the initiative to distribute business cards to everyone you meet.
If you want to establish a connection and have a willingness to stay, send one separately.
Just make sure that your new friend knows that you are not a casual relationship with others. "If I meet someone for the first time, I might say," usually I will not give my contact information to others, but I would like to keep in touch with you, "Hurzeler said.
3, strike while the iron is hot.
Business cards have been issued as if they were the latest and most popular tickets in the city.
Very good -- but now you need to start putting your business card in the important mailbox and the package with a holiday gift or card, Hurzeler says.
Every time you change your job, you also need to issue new business cards to the people around you, using VCF file format, and your contacts can automatically update files.
4. Upgrade your business card storage box.
Speaking of your contacts: you can use a Black Berry, which has been at your hands from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and can use a iPad. in the remaining 12 hours. So why use a cumbersome plastic Rolodex to store your (probably expired) contacts?
Enter twenty-first Century. Using an electronic model like CardscanExecutivev8, it can scan 40 cards per minute and make them compatible with Outlook, Palm and Windows.
If the idea of scanning business cards is like a crumble for a person to complete the moon landing program, at least constantly update your traditional Rolodex: "do not care how you save them..."
I only care if you keep them, "Hurzeler said.
5, packing for your contact card.
Of course, if you have adopted our proposal and uploaded your business card to your smart phone, you have made a good start.
However, in other ways, when you plan to stay in American cities, make sure that you pack your contacts for your Cleveland-area, and put them in your handbag, and they will not be lost.
"If I go to a region that is not familiar with me, I will look for my contacts, find a person in that area and get in touch with him.
I will ask him to recommend a restaurant for me, a place for fun, or arrange a drink together, "Hurzeler said.
This is the use of contacts.
