<h2>5 Tips To Utilize Business Cards</h2>
<p><strong>1. Business Card &amp; House Keys Leave Together ::</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Never, ever leave home without at small stack of business cards.  You just never know.</p>
<p><strong>2. 6 Degrees of Separation :: </strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">When you send a birthday card, gift, thank you note, and even paying a bill &#8211; a business card should be a habit with everything (minus funerals).  Hand your business card out as if the more you hand out the longer you live. This is your lifeline . . . you want to sustain yourself and handing out business cards is the first step to any branding process.</p>
<p><strong>3. Business Card Etiquette ::</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Business card dance is so important. You want a client. You need to network.  Just because the person standing in front of you doesn&#8217;t need your services doesn&#8217;t mean that they won&#8217;t in the future or they know someone &#8211; who knows someone . . . Here is what you need to do to make an impression with a business card.</p>
<ol>
<li>Whenever you give a business card, ask for a business card.</li>
<li>When you are given a business card take a few seconds and read the entire card in front of the person.  Shoving it away is bad business.</li>
<li>After reading the card move the discussion towards information about information on THEIR business card.</li>
<li>As they talk pull out a pen, flip the card around and write date/time, location and a keywords from the conversation.</li>
<li>After you finished, put it in your pocket/wallet/business card holder  . . . and tap it twice &#8220;to show you are holding precious cargo&#8221;.</li>
<li>The next stage is to see how well you were listening . . . ask the person to go into detail about a topic you wrote down on the back of the card.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>4. The World Needs to See Your Business Card ::</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Hand them out to everyone, family, friends and don&#8217;t be stingy . . . give &#8216;em one or two.  Most individuals do not have just one office &#8211; most have a home, portable and professional office.  If you hand out one card then you&#8217;re limiting your possible client to be at the right office when your services could be utilized.</p>
<p><strong>5.  Not Just a Name &amp; Number :: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Put a slogan on your business card that answers the question &#8220;Why should I call you?&#8221; Or &#8220;What makes you different?&#8217;&#8221;</li>
<li>Website</li>
<li>Email</li>
</ul>
