Here are a few tips for getting the most of a basic networking tool - your business card:
1. Hand them to people when you meet them for the first time.
Reason: They're more likely to remember your name if they see it. Ask for their business card in return. You'll remember their names more easily, too.
2. Give your business card to people every time you meet them.
Reason: Business cards are essential, but disposable. It doesn't matter if people don't keep your card forever, as long as it serves its purpose.
3. Include a business card in everything you send out, including letters of introduction, invoices, articles and thank-you notes.
Reason: you never know who your correspondence is going to end up with or what those people might need.
