Keeping on top of business card management is the key to success

Organising your business cards can make your job easier.

Organising business card contacts and ensuring that details are updated regularly were highlighted as key points to successful networking in a report featured in Immigration Weekly.

Speaking to the publication, Larry Bodine, an Illinois-based business development manager, offered a number of insights into nurturing new contacts and making the most of technology in effective contact database management.

There are a number of phone applications available which are able to read, scan and upload contact details into a database.

Creative business card designs may assist in projecting an image of professionalism and assist in building contacts and making valuable connections.

Speaking to your Sydney printing service about new designs could be a wise business move.

Bodine also revealed that making notes on the back of a business card about the person you spoke to and including details about where the conversation took place may be useful.

Following up and building rapport is important. A simple follow-up email a few days after the event could assist you to build a relationship with a new contact.

Maintaining and updating new contact details may be beneficial as this can reduce time when searching for contacts. Additional notes such as topics that you spoke about or the event you met could also be useful.

A number of programs and online networking sites such as LinkedIn may assist in the organisation of new contacts.
