Episode 9: Easy and Powerful Contact Management
Chances are no matter what industry you are in, you have a pretty good collection of business cards. Maybe you keep them in a nice little binder with plastic sheets, in an index box or simply rubber banded together in a huge stack. No matter how you store them, have you entered them into a contact management system yet so you can access them easily and online? With a card scanner you can scan multiple business cards in a shorter amount of time it would take to type in the information. It can easily be organized, is searchable and ready for use in email campaigns. The contact data can also be synchronized between the CardScan software and Outlook, Palm, Windows Mobile devices or smart phones, plus ACT!, Excel and Lotus Notes. A virtual assistant with the CardScanner and software system can easily help you manage your expansive and valuable business card collection in no time.
