How To Use Your Business Cards To Shoot Your Sales Through The Roof!
Do you do what the vast majority of people who buy business cards do?
Give them out to friends and family or post them on a few bulletin boards and hope for the business to come rolling in?
How about putting them on tables at restaurants (yes business card spamming is alive and well :( ).
A good one at trade shows is every vendor tossing business cards to anyone that comes within a few feet of their booth. I guess they heard that the old network marketing 3-foot rule works!
Okay enough of that!

So in direct marketing you don't pass them all around and hope for

4. Now your job is to follow-up with them and ask the right questions to help them understand why it is in their best interest (if you really believe it is BTW) to become your client.
Sure it's easier said than done. Hey most things are.
But, it's a simple formula and will work wonders with virtually any business.
