I just put this on the realtime mentoring blog http://realtimementoring.com

 

A Few weeks ago I attended a seminar and I was thanked for pointing somebody in the right direction to
keep their records up to date.

Apparently I told them to staple the business cards into an A4 book and make notes when you call them. Its a bit steam powered but the point here is that the Lady who thanked me forgot to ask me one thing.

Had I been keeping this practice ? No is my answer. Shame on me! I have now remedied this and although spread sheets and databases are good making notes by the side of business cards allows you to be more selective BEFORE you pass this onto a dedicated list(database) of really motivated people. By Motivated I mean people that you want to keep in contact for whatever reason.
So you can now do as I do and get those cards and records stapled in seconds rather than waiting for that  moment to make a Geeky spreadsheet.
