A quick search for business card scanners in the Google Playstore or Apple Store will give you plenty of options. There are many apps available to help you with the process of digitizing business cards. The technology to scan business card information into your phone and into your contact list is improving rapidly. If you use a smartphone, it is not only possible, but easy to do. Doesn’t it make far more sense to have those contacts available at your fingertips? There is a simple solution and it doesn’t require good typing skills or a deep knowledge of technology. You are doing a disservice to yourself, your new business connection and your current group of contacts. Perhaps you remember a few days later, but then, the momentum or the context of the conversation gone.
