Create and Practice Using CardScan.net Account

Your account on CardScan.net could prove your team’s best asset. For example, if you are at a show running for several days, you may need to share some lead information with the team as soon as possible—to make further steps toward new partnerships.

•To use this secure pipeline efficiently, practice saving files to CardScan.net and synchronizing with your desktop. Decide what team members will have access to the files.

•Arrange to have Internet access at the event.

Prepare for Capturing Contacts without Business Cards

TIP: If the person does not have a business card, write their information on the back of your own card, and affix that card to the form. Better yet, prepare a few card-size pieces of paper (as shown below) in advance, and have them ready to use at the show.

Practice Using Forms

To use forms efficiently, reserve some time for this:

•Study the form supplied with your Lead Qualifier software.

•Practice filling it out by interviewing your colleagues.

•Think of how you would utilize the handwriting areas, especially the MEMO area. Practice handwriting, scanning, and then viewing the images with Big Picture. To view all the images associated with a record, select the record and choose View→Big Picture.
