Sales
A trade-show aisle or a client lobby is not the place to type.
The pocket you empty too late
You swap cards in an aisle. Or in a lobby between meetings. They go in a jacket. The follow-up depends on you emptying that pocket before the next city.
Field intros do not wait for a CRM. If the contact lives on paper until Thursday, the meeting is already cold.
Share a work card on the spot
They leave with you in their phone. You leave with them in Connections. No typing at a high-top while the next booth is waving you over.
The card they get is the work one — the number and email you want in a deal thread, not the personal handle you use at dinner.
What you keep
Follow up the same afternoon, while you both still remember the demo and the objection. The name is not a mystery. The room is still attached if you tagged the show.
You are not reconstructing a badge photo. You are writing to a person who already has your card.
In this room
Show the QR at the table, or send the link before you stand up. The warm follow-up is the job. The card pile is not.
