Leave your Business Cards at Home
You’re planning a high-powered networking event. The event’s ROI depends on “players” meeting and connecting, permanently. Are you going to rely on people taking home little rectangular pieces of paper to cement those relationships? Instead, try Minglestick, a small, sleek, inexpensive keychain device that allows people to exchange identity information with the click of a button. Two people simply take the stick out of their pockets, point and click. Complete information is securely exchanged and easily downloadable into many CRM applications. (Photo 1 of 3)
