Carrying Someone Else's Business Cards With You

Anyone in business understands the prudence of carrying business cards with them wherever they go. After all, you never know who you will meet, and when you meet people, you never know who that person is or who that person might know. You are always ready to pass your business card along to someone who might be a future client or customer if you have a stack of your business cards with you. But while most people in business know the benefits of carrying business cards with them, and practice this sound business practice without any problems, far fewer businessmen and businesswomen ever think to carry around business cards that belong to someone else. The practice of carrying around business cards that belong to others can be extremely beneficial; here are a couple reasons why.

When you are dealing in business, conversations with strangers are golden. Every opportunity to talk to someone you do not know just might be the exact opportunity you have been looking for. But a stranger is likely to be turned off right away if they think you are striking up conversation with them just to sell them something. People are protective of their money; they are less likely to talk to you if they think you are trying to exchange something for their money! But you have a pocket full of safe conversation starters at the ready when you have others' business cards. Perhaps you will overhear someone in a shop in the mall, talking about how they need a plumber. If you are equipped with your favorite plumber's business card, you have an open door to slide into the conversation. "Excuse me, but I couldn't help overhearing you say you need a plumber; I happen to know a great plumber - he's worked on our house, and we've been thrilled with him!" You have now entered their conversation without trying to sell them anything at all. Eventually, the conversation is sure to circle back around to you, and to what you do.

Also, people are inclined to remember someone who helped them out without any promise of something in return. Whenever the conversation does come back to you, you are sure to give away one or two of your own business cards. This person is sure to remember you next time they need a product or service like yours, and you will have a new client or customer on your plate!

This might seem like a small step in improving your business, but you never know what "small step" might turn into your next big thing.
