You don’t have to be a walking advertisement in order to be able to plant the seed for business deals everywhere you go.
All you need is a small stack of quality-made business cards that you carry with you.
You go to the mall for coffee and window shopping? Take the business cards with you.
Attending a wedding or visiting your dentist? Take the stack of your biz cards along.
You never know when the opportunity will knock, but here’s an example.
Yesterday I was at Best Buy and while I waited my turn for the employee to finish with another customer, that customer saw me waiting and she commented on my patience.
Little did she know that I was getting ready to leave. But I seized the opportunity and joined the discussion; she was on a quest for a new laptop.
While I focused on giving her computer advice – and essentially, helping out the Best Buy employee who seemed a little worn out by all this – I was able to ask questions about her interests, type of work and subtly pitch my web & graphics development services.
Being a Texan, she flat out asked for my business card, which I gladly produced from my wallet.
So there you go. Print some quality business cards – I recommend 4by6.com – and go out as usual; you never know what will happen that will benefit your business.
