Business cards as we have known them, and how we have been sharing them like communion, are now obsolete; they are each a thing of the past! That is what caused Mr. Mann all the embarrassment, and made him lose a mega business deal; he was thinking and acting the usual — old school — since he had no clue regarding how things have changed in business networking, especially the new and smart way we are expected to share and receive contact details these days; see the video further below. (Live demo info also further below; you may scroll further down)

What do you know about the etiquette governing traditional business cards?
The business world has for several years cherished business cards as the primary means of sharing contact information in a complimentary gesture; always handy when you meet prospective partners, potential customers, etc. for the first time.
Indeed, in many cultures, especially Japan and China, there has been a whole etiquette or accepted and expected cultural way of giving and receiving business cards; for instance a person was required to hand out and / or receive a business card with both hands reaching out as shown, and after receiving the card even where you placed it (whether pocket, wallet, etc) were all important factors that determined whether or not you would be seen as a good prospect.

That was then; today, the story is entirely different with the advent of modern technology; especially the smartphone. I share my personal experience further below.
Everything counts!

Meet Mr Mann (not his real name) …astute business executive who takes networking seriously, and has had the opportunity to close several business deals as a result. He knows his stuff, and when he introduces himself and his business to you, he hands his business card to you with traditional etiquette, and where he has to take yours too, likewise. Indeed, things are working for him. He is on his way to a very important meeting that promises a good deal with some new investors…

This is Mr Mann from the meeting; this time things did not go well, because the people he went to meet deployed smart business cards, and Mr Mann had no clue as to what to do; it was such an embarrassment! He went along with his bulky pack of traditional business cards and gave them out like holy communion; the people’s body language was that of disgust even though they did well with their forced smiles, just so that Mr. Mann wouldn’t be way too embarrassed.
That was the end of the deal; the prospective partners didn’t think Mr. Mann was abreast enough with happenings in the business world so he could not be fully trusted to deliver good business in today’s fast-paced business environment where every serious person needs to capitalise on the speed and efficiency current technologies provide. Actually, they did not even have the time and patience required to transfer Mr. Mann’s contact details from the paper business card Mr. Mann gave to them, and they certainly did not make reference to those traditional business cards either since anytime they needed contact details they went straight to their phones rather than scouting through a collection of the numerous traditional business cards they had piled up over the years.
I know someone who has more than 400 of such traditional business cards collected over the years; how easily would yours be looked for, and found in such a pile? You get the limitations of the traditional business cards; right?
It is said that…
You can’t do today’s job with yesterday’s methods and be in business tomorrow.
In other words… “Innovate or die!”
QUESTION: With the advent of smart business cards, how ready are you? Particularly, at your next important meeting, if a prospective customer or potential business partner brings out a smart business card, instead of the normal business card you know, will you know what to do to receive his or her profile and contact details?
Let’s catch up quickly…

Obviously, if you are still using traditional business cards or paper business cards, you are far behind; actually, you are losing money!
Indeed, once upon a time, a single smartphone made nonsense of radio, camera, calculator, tape recorder, alarm clock, torch light, video deck, navigation compass, and more than forty other items. Today, a single smart business card replaces all the business cards you will ever need! And it also determines to a large extent how serious you take your business and your personal branding, as it positively speaks volumes to your prospective business partners and social connections.
Not too long ago I used to hold and distribute traditional business cards with pride; recently however, I destroyed all those paper business cards. Why? A pack of business cards is actually a waste of money and space!


Some of the ‘old-school’ business cards I eventually destroyed recently
Now I keep one special business card on me (see below) and with that single smart business card I can transmit my contact details, professional and social media profiles (and / or any other information I so desire) directly to a prospect’s phone without physical contact; I just bring my smart business card close enough to a prospect’s phone (within an inch reach) and it’s done; profiles and contact details get transmitted wirelessly!

In action… my bamboo type smart business card

Wowed by seeing my contact details directly transmitted to her phone without physical contact
That single smart business card takes care of all the 3 businesses I run since I can select what to transmit at any point in time; how cool is that! Today I can save my profile and contact details directly (and correctly) on people’s phones and not worry about the numerous disadvantages or drawbacks traditional business cards have. It’s the only business card I will ever need!

As simple as bringing phone and the smart business card close enough without physical contact

My bamboo type smart business card
Yes, I went in for the eco-friendly black bamboo type, and deliberately opted for a simple white inscription on it without a logo or any fanciful branding (I love it to bits!) but there is a metal option, and also a plastic option and can be branded in full colour with your logo or in any fashion you so desire (Terms & Conditions Apply). And together they come in some 15 colour variations to choose from; below are just 3 samples…

Remember that today when people need contacts the first place they go to is their phones (that’s what they carry most of the time) not an archive of cards they have collected from people; imagine the unlikelihood, and the attendant inconvenience of them going through a pack of business cards just looking for yours. O, logically you expect them to transfer your contact details from your paper card to their phones; well, will they? And if at all, will they transfer those contact details to their phones correctly? Otherwise you may have to be calling out your number(s) and credentials, and be spelling your name repeatedly in order for them to save your details correctly. Compare all that ‘wahala’ with the swag and extreme convenience of just transmitting the details directly to their phones in a split second; with the advantage of a smart business card! Lovely!

No, not all. Well, ordinarily you yourself don’t need to install an app, and they also do not have to install an app for the smart business card to work. This is because the smart business card works on NFC technology, and most smartphones these days come already equipped with NFC technology (by way of a special chip inside the phone) in which case no apps will be required for the process to work. However, for persons who have much older generation smartphones and some recent budget ones that may not have the NFC chips installed in it, they may have to install QR-Code scanner apps on their phones and use that to scan the QR-Code on your card in order to receive the information you want to share from your smart business card.
