Networking With Business Cards

Recently I opened a new music venue in Salt Lake City. It's a small place where local bands can play and fans of all ages can get in for cheap.

Right away people were coming in telling us what a "cool" idea the venue is. I found myself passing out business cards right and left. Some customers wanted to remember our web site address. Others were musicians wanting our phone number for later reference.

In the process of taking to people and handing out cards I met several folks who could be of help to us. One, a designer with terrific ideas for our decor, wrote her name, number, and slogan on the back of one of my cards and handed it back to me.

Have a wad of cards handy when you find yourself in a group. Don't try to sell, just pass out your card with an invitation to call or email.

Collect other people's cards, organize them, then call a week later to pick up the conversation again and...this time..do some selling.

If you're a bit on the shy side, like I am, hold a drink. A soda or bottle of water is fine. It can make talking to people easier. In restaurants, clubs, and many meetings, holding a drink is perfectly acceptable and often puts the other person at ease as well.
