As usual, Ernie the Attorney has another great suggestion:
Whenever I go to an event I usually bring business cards. Â Sometimes I remember to hand them out and sometimes I don’t. Â Sometimes people to ask me for them, but usually they don’t. When I’m speaking in front of a group I wouldn’t take the time to hand out my cards. Â And yet that’s a moment that many people might want my contact information.
The next time I speak or go to an event I’m going to tell people “if you want my contact info take out your cellphone and send a text message to ‘50500’; type in ‘ernieattorney’ and hit send.” Â If you want to try this now you can see what those folks will receive.
I know that I have ran into this problem before when speaking. I think this is a great solution. I, like Ernie, set up my digital business card as well. Simply send a text to 50500, type in BryanSims, and you will get my digital business card back.
