YOU may be excited about your growing network of business propositions.

But are you also pulling your hair out about the stack of business cards you’ve collected?!

I recommend three steps to help manage your business cards, better. The idea is to be consistent and up-to-date and aim to strengthen the effectiveness of your network.

Step 1. Prioritise

Sort your contacts according to their potential importance to your network. Make three lists.

• List A: people you regularly interact with, like prospective clients.
• List B: possible references. You may send them an occasional newsletter.
• List C: Everyone else!
