When it comes to making and keeping business contacts, there are certain pieces of information that you should be looking for, and that other people will want to seek from you.  For this reason, it is important that you ask questions when you receive a business card, and that you ensure that your own digital business cards is complete so that there isn’t anything missing when you give your information to your new contact.

When your new contact hands you a business card, don’t just shove it in your pocket.  Have a look at it, and make sure that the information is complete.  If it isn’t, ask.  After you leave the contact, make sure to note additional important information about that person so that you’ll be able to remember him or her later on, after some time has passed and your memory isn’t as fresh.

The information that you should make sure that you have for every contact is as follows:

•  Name of the contact,
•  Address,
•  Telephone number,
•  Fax,
•  E-mail/website,
•  Their company name and job title
•  The source of the original meeting, venue or person
•  Who introduced you
•  A note of what transpired at the first meeting
•  The arrangement for follow-up - timing/method
•  Any personal details - birthday/family/hobbies and interests
•  Geographical details - the area of country if you are visiting them
•  Background - them/their company/previous positions held
•  Their and your aims and objectives, links and mutual acquaintances.

Of course, though this may be hard to fit all on one business card, you don’t need to worry about your new contact having the same problem, as you can include all of the relevant information they could ever need within a profile in your Digital Business Card.

When you’re seeking to network – whether it’s for a new job, or to make a new contact that will lead to a sale – it can be very awkward to try to be natural about giving a virtual sales pitch to someone standing right next to you.

Fortunately, Digital Business Card has collected a number of tips from the experts to help you to stay natural, and comfortable as you introduce your cause and make those important new contacts.

• Have an “elevator speech” ready for those situations where you have a moment in the elevator to make an introduction.

• Use your existing contacts to the max. This includes family, friends, and even ex-colleagues.

• Hone in on people in your own industry. Don’t waste your time trying to spread yourself too thin.

• Remember that others want to be noticed too. If you receive a business card in return when you give someone your digital business card, don’t just jam it in your pocket. Look at it first. And be sure to ask the contact questions about themselves and their own experience. Show you care.

• Don’t flat out ask for a job or a sale – at least not in the first introduction. Asking for a job is best left when you’re in the interview itself, or at least in a follow-up situation. By asking for a job or sale when you first meet a contact, you’ll come off as pushy, and the individual may believe that you had an “ulterior motive” for the conversation.

• Build relationships, not sales. Selling is a result, not an action.

• Don’t abuse your relationships.

• Maintain your network. Even when you’re not necessarily looking for a job or a sale, keep up with your network so that they’ll be there for you when you do need them.

These days, running a business – whether it’s online or brick-and-mortar – it is vital that you be computer-friendly. This means that you must have a web presence, and you need to make your business relationship building materials as computer compatible as possible.

A web presence is the first step for any business, as it is among the most crucial elements of today’s marketing strategies. After all, the internet is one of the most heavily used methods that people use to search for businesses that provide the products and services that they seek.

If your business is not online, then you are holding it back from innumerable potential opportunities.

Similarly, when you are spreading the word about your business, and forming new contacts and business relationships, you must also keep computers in mind. It is much more common for people to keep their contact information on their computers than it is to have a rolodex.

Therefore, if your business card is computer-friendly, then you can be assured that your prospects will be much more likely to maintain your contact information in a place where they will be able to find you quickly and easily when the time comes to contact you.

The digital business card - DigiCard is not only ready to be stored with other vital traditional business cards, but it is also computer-friendly by nature.

This is the season for office parties galore. Not only does this mean a great time with the people from work, but it also gives you a great opportunity to network in a very social way.

While you’re loading up on the free food, make sure that you have your digital business cards on hand for anyone and everyone you feel presents a potential opportunity for you.

Remember, though, that networking during the holiday season isn’t exactly the same as the way you create and nurture new contacts throughout the rest of the year. After all, this is much more informal because it’s a party!

Therefore, it’s important that you go in there not with the intention of landing the new job or new contract before the year is through, but instead simply keep things light, try to build on your contact list, and ask if it would be alright if you contact the people you meet in the new year.

Other techniques that you should put to good use are:

• Getting out there to the parties – after all, if you aren’t attending, you won’t be able to take advantage of all of the chances to share your CD-ROM business cards and make new connections.

• Keep your drinking limited – as impressive as your CD business card may be, it won’t be worth anything if you haven’t put on your best networking face when you exchange it with your prospects.

• Dress well – this means that you’ll look clean cut, and attractive, without being too formal, or too sloppy.

• Mingle – after all, the more people you talk to, the more people you can impress with your CD-ROM business cards, and everything else you have to offer.

• Make your cd business cards work for you – don’t just use it as a business card. Remember, it is an impressive tool! Use it as an ice breaker, a segue, and a fantastic conversation piece. It works great in these informal situations, and provides a fantastic reason to share it, even when you haven’t been able to put out a real pitch.
