Your Business Card Sucks

Before you get mad at me for what I just said, please looknow at one of your business cards and check the following:

- Do you use the back side to generate more sales through ashocking offer or guarantee, loyalty or referral program, orany of the 11 best marketing strategies to attract newcustomers and retain your current customers?

- Do you add a call-to-action on the back side to clearlytell your prospects what you want them to do so you cangenerate more leads and, therefore, close more sales? - Do you use a full-color artwork to add impact anddifferentiate from other business cards in your prospect'sRolodex?

- Do you show your photo to remind your prospects who youare?- Do you have your slogan on the front, close to yourbusiness name or logo, to communicate what your business andpositioning are?

- Do you have a slogan at all?

If your answer to two or more of my questions is NO, thensorry but… your business card sucks.

Don't get mad at yourself now. It's not your fault. Businesscards have been used for the last 100 hundred years not as asales tool but, on the contrary, just as a formality and away to give out your phone and e-mail.

Still, a well-thought-out business card is one of the mostpowerful - yet inexpensive - sales tools you could use toboost your sales and profits almost overnight.

To transform your business cards into a sales tool all youneed to know is: How to Create and How to Use business cardsthat sell.
