When it comes to business it can be very fast paced and it is easy to get unorganized. An important part of business is remembering what networking you did between other companies, or what clients received your contact information. This can be vital in closing a deal with a client or gaining new products or services. Communication is a significant part of business and should not be overlooked by not utilizing tools to help you manage it.
With expanding technology in business it is clear that the use of technology can be an important tool for small business and big corporations alike. It is through technology that companies advertise their products, and can expand their customer audiences. This can also translate back to communication between companies. For example a customer can now access a company’s inventory in order to purchase goods and services from their mobile device. They no longer have to go to the business or in to a store in order to purchase their items. This tool of convenience and access has greatly improved the way that business is done on a regular basis.
Business Cards
Because communication is so important in any business many company employees have made business cards a standard. Anytime there is a quote for a bid, or a business deal completed someone is handing out a card with contact information. The downside to business cards is that they are easy to lose. After all it is just a card that can easily be tossed aside. The following options are available as tools for organizing your business cards:
Binders
Binder: Just having a simple binder with folders that can help you to organize your business cards and communications. You can purchase inserts that let you mount the business card along with notes so that you can keep track of the conversation that you had. You can also get smaller wallet size holders that help you to keep all of your cards together. Having a note pad or sticky notes can help you to organize and remember your conversation with person you contacted.
Applications
Applications: Technology has made it easier than ever to keep your business cards organized. There are many types of business card applications that enable you to take a picture of a business card with your mobile device. Once you have the picture then the program will scan it and enter in the contact data that is on the card. Once all of these have been loaded onto your mobile device it will automatically add it to your address book. This is a great way to keep a digital copy of the business card and be able to send an email or call your contact easily. This ease of convince is a great tool because you can use it on the go and you don’t have to wait to file the business card away somewhere. This is also great if you wanted to share your own business card digitally instead of handing someone your paper card.
