How to Make the Most of Your Business
Card
By: Ilise
Benun
Everyone knows Networking Rule Numero Uno – Don't go
out without your business card – although I'm constantly amazed by how many
people don't bring their cards to professional events. (Some kind of
self-sabotage, I think.) Your card plays a major role in your prospect's first

people. Their purpose is to create a first impression, over and over, to be
there at the right moment, not to be kept as an heirloom." (read the rest)
