Does your business card leave a memorable impression behind? When you hand your card to someone whether at a networking event or simply someone you meet at Starbucks, do you get compliments on it or is it quickly put in a pocket never to be thought about again?
Your business card is one the lasting impressions that you make with someone you meet. Make it a card that someone will want to keep. I am always amazed when I hear from people that I have not spoken to for ages who said, I found your card and wanted to reconnect. Your card was so different that I kept it and am so glad I did so I could reconnect with you. What makes my business card memorable is that it is a foldover card that has Rhonda’s Rules, Networking Sense You Can Take to the Bank in the center of the card. Twelve simple rules that can if put to use can put money in your pocket and help you network better than before. If you would like one of my cards, drop me an email and I would be glad to send you in the mail.
