Business Card

[shaedzs]

One of the most memorable cards I have seen was a friend's. He would hand his card to someone and say "Here's my card."

The card said simply on it "My Card".

The person receiving the card would look puzzled for a moment then turn it over where the usual business card stuff could be found. This always resulted in a laugh and a memorable moment.

I actually did this myself in one batch of cards years ago but kind of forgot to do it since then.

Great point on the card. I think what matters most is the experience the prospect has when receiving the card and not so much the card itself. A month or two months down the road when the prospect gets a rate increase on their current insurance, what is going to make the them think to call the guy who gave them a card a few months back- the color scheme of the card they briefly glanced at or the laugh they had when the agent gave it to them? A business card should be a mini billboard, clean and professional, but beyond that, I focus more on the experience generated when handing the cards out as well as the total number distributed.

In my own opinion having a business card still help in some way nowadays. It may not be very techy like the websites and other internet marketing strategies but I still consider having a business card necessary.

This guy was just on a show on MTV called Fantasy Factory.

You watch Mtv. That's funny.

What's your favorite show? Do they even show music videos anymore?

I guess I can't say anything. Snoop Dogg is my avatar.

I need to collect some business cards.

Just send me your business card. I'd like to look at some other agents cards.

Hey, Mark, will you send me one of your pure gold business cards by registered mail? Thanks in advance.

All the cards I've seen on this forum suck. They are low grade and they say something about you. They say that you're either cheap or broke or both.

Check me out coaching agents and other business owners on the importance of having a HQ card.

And to those that make their own cards, you're just crazy

This guys pop up card reminded me of a card some old Debit Agent showed me when I first started Insurance. It was a little pop coffin. When you opened the little lid and looked inside. there was a mirror in it. Got Life Insurance?

of course business cards are a must but i dont think you should put prices on any cards if you want to use your card like a flier i suggest you just have fliers but great stuff guys

I'm often surprised about the number of insurance agents cards I get with no email address. Then again maybe it's because I work at a lead company - haha.



Curious: anybody have 2 sets - one with bare minimum contact info and one with the REAL contact info - for customers, etc?
