3.: 10 Powerful Networking Tips using Business Cards

Posted by: "Rich Pettus" richpettus@gmail.com rich.pettus

Thursday, July 15, 2010 10 Powerful Networking Tips using Business
Cards<http://thecareerguide.blogspot.com/2010/07/10-powerful-networking-tips-using.html>
Whether you are looking for a job or running a business, giving out
business cards is crucial to marketing your skills or services. Even as a
job seeker, develop the mindset of running the business of YOU, Inc.
Business cards speak volumes about who you are, what you offer and how
serious you are marketing YOU, Inc. as a business. Oh! So, you have a resume
and don't need business cards. Can you carry 10 resumes in your wallet' Do
you or can you carry your resume everywhere you go' A church bell ringing
lets people know they are open for business. Your business card is your
bell. Here are some proven tips using business cards to increase your
chances of landing a job or creating a business opportunity.

*1. Never leave home without them.* Before leaving home, your checklist
should be expanded to include business cards, as part of "do I have my
wallet/money, house keys, driver's license'" Any 'per chance' meeting is an
opportunity to give out a business card. A morning run or a quick trip to
the local store could be an opportunity to network. My wife and I always ask
each other 'do you have business cards', before leaving the house. Make it a
habit to carry business cards.

*2. Insert a business card when mailing bill payments.* Bills contain
advertisements. Why can't you advertise your skills or services the same
way' Insert a business card with your payment. You may not think a person in
South Dakota who opens your credit card bill payment can help you. Never
underestimate the power of networking. A movie, entitled '6 Degrees of
Separation' points out we are 6 people away from knowing someone of
influence. You could be 6 people away from knowing the President of the
United Sates, your favorite movie star or someone who is in a position to
hire your skills or services. Each of us knows someone, who knows someone,
who knows someone etc. Developing this powerful networking attitude will be
a fundamental source of continued success.

*3. Use proper business card etiquette.* Whenever you give a business card,
ask for a business card. When given a business card, don't just take it and
place it in your pocket. Make the person feel important by looking at their
card for a few seconds. You might see something that could be a topic of
discussion. Write comments on the card such as date, location and common
points of interest. These comments will prove valuable when following up
with that person. This also demonstrates a sincere interest in the other
person. Then place it in your wallet. This lets them know they reside in a
special place with you. "Skill with People" by Les Giblin is a book that
expands on this approach. Make people feel important, in order to make
yourself important to them.

*4. Be generous.* Give business cards out to everyone, including family and
friends. Don't let vanity stop you from giving out your last business card
or giving 2 at a time to each person. I have met many people who have
totally missed the purpose of a business card. I once asked a person for a
second business card, so I could refer his services. His response was "I
only have a few cards left and I need them", as he looked again at his name
on the card. Hoarding your business cards only makes your wallet feel full,
not your bank account.

*5. Ask for referrals.* When giving a business card, people feel more
comfortable when you ask; 'I would appreciate a referral, if you know anyone
that could use my services'. Don't make people feel like they are on the
spot. This approach disarms people much better than asking them, 'is your
company hiring'' People naturally like to do favors for people. Saying
'could you do me a favor by referring my services to someone'. This always
places you in a better position with them. They will feel better about
helping you. Give them 2 cards.

*6. Maximize every "per chance" meeting.* You never know when you might meet
someone who can help you. Family or friends social events could produce
unexpected encounters with people. Don't discount those events. So you're
going to a birthday party for your friend's kid. You never know who you
might meet. At a family holiday gathering last year, I met someone that has
been instrumental in developing our business this year. Who would have
thought this could happen by giving him a simple business card.

*7. Place yourself at the right place at the right time.* Have you been to a
job fair or business conference and been disappointed with the networking
results' Turn the tables around. Consider volunteering to help out at the
job fair or other types of events. This puts you in a better strategic
position for presenting your resume or business card. Company
representatives might view you differently, if they know you are willing to
go the extra mile in helping them make their presence easier to manage. Get
involved by visiting Eventme.com, TheLunchClub.net, Craigslist.com or view
the calendar of events for JacobJavitsCenter.com to place yourself in
opportunities for giving out your business card. Volunteering for events has
been a very successful resource for my business partner and I to expanding
our business. Zig Ziglar, one of the most successful sales trainers in the
world says "if you help enough people get what they want in life, you will
get what you want in life".

*8. Use "In Your Face" follow up.* Did you ever have a job interview or
meeting with a recruiter, potential client or employer and wonder why they
never called you back' 'Out of sight, out of mind' is the operative phrase
to remember. Today's economic climate dictates you might be competing with
20, 50, 100 or more other people for the same position or contract. It's
quite a task for people to keep track of each individual meeting. So it's up
to you to give a person a reason to call you back. Immediately after a
meeting snail mail a hand written note thanking the person for their time.
Insert your business card. Now you're in the driver's seat in standing out
from other people. If you get no response, do it again. Patience and
persistence pays off.

*9. Use promotions to promote YOU, Inc.* Newspapers often have stories of
people being promoted to high levels in different organizations' This is an
opportunity for you. Consider getting some invitation size blank greeting
cards. Use the Internet's search capabilities to find out the address of the
company's executive offices. Send the blank invitation type card with a hand
written note sincerely congratulating a person on their promotion. Insert
your business card. For the cost of a 37-cent stamp, you have just made
someone's day and may create an impression that makes a person feel
compelled to respond back to you. Make it a habit to do this once a week.
Remember '6 Degrees of Separation'. You just never know . . . People open
invitation type envelops faster than any others.

*10. Brand yourself with a slogan.* Print a slogan on your business card
that answers the question 'Why should I hire you' Or "What makes you
different from everyone else'" A catchy phrase or slogan insures people
ALWAYS associate a company name with their product or services. People
remember even after the commercial is over. That's called branding.
Companies pay big bucks to advertising agencies to come up with these
lasting slogans. Consider doing the exact same thing on your business card.
This is your insurance people remember you, after you meet. Don't just put
Hortence Smiley, Accountant on your business card. Add something like
"Financial Services With Integrity". A slogan makes all the difference
between getting hired or not, because people will remember you long after a
meeting.

Happy trails networking . . .
