Let's say you're sitting on the train or catching up on some reading at the coffee shop and you're approached by THE business connection you've been trying to flag down for months. He/she wants to set up a meeting and throw around some ideas - of course you're interested. You shove your hands into your pocket or start digging through your purse - what are you most likely to reach first, your cell phone or your business cards?
In today's digital world, connections are made at hyper-speed and a small factor, such as paper business cards versus easy to access electronic info, can open up a network of opportunities. Why not let technology do some of the heavy lifting, so you can get back to shaking hands and kissing babies?
