Fifty introductions, no pen and paper
A conference produces a pocket of cards you will not follow up and a handful of numbers with no names. The exchange is the easy part; being remembered on Thursday is the hard part. Set your card up the night before and every introduction ends the same reliable way.
What to put on yours
- Name, role, company — the three things someone needs to place you.
- One line on why a stranger should talk to you. Specific beats impressive.
- The one link that matters for this event, not all of them.
- A save-contact button, so you land in their phone properly with your photo and title attached.
How people will get it
- A QR code on a table standee, where people are stationary with a phone already in hand.
- Your phone's lock screen, for a scan mid-conversation.
- The last slide of your talk, left up during questions rather than for four seconds at the end.
- In the follow-up message you send the same evening.
