Are you bogged down with business cards? Do you have mounds and mounds of business cards on your desk, in your desk drawers, and just about anywhere? Are you searching for that card that you got from that important guy you met last night at the networking event, but you lost his card in the big pile you already have? Take heart my friend. There is an app for that!
The other day I was chatting with an associate, Scott Kean from LSeven Solutions, and we exchanged business cards. He said he is going to use CardMunch to store my card. I asked him what is CardMunch. He told me it is an App for Apple iPhone and iPad. You take a picture of the card and it stores it on the device. Imagine my excitement; something to rescue me from hundreds of business cards that I’m struggling to keep track of.
As soon as I got home, I pulled out my iPad and downloaded CardMunch. Talk about being amazed. When I opened the app and took a picture of the first business card, it was so easy. The app stored the card and then asked me if the quality was good enough. If I said no, it allowed me to retake the picture. If I said yes, it stored the picture. Then, it asked if I wanted to connect with the person via LinkedIn. Connect with them on LinkedIn? Are you kidding me? How does this thing know that I’m a LinkedIn junkie???
Since then, I have been taking lots of pictures of my business cards and not worry about losing them. CardMunch has simplified my business card management system, or lack thereof. Most importantly, the app is FREE! Yes my friend, that what I typed: F-R-E-E!!! If you are like me and need a simple way to store your cards, check out CardMunch. Now if only it could clean my desk! Bet there is an app for that!
Until next time, keep living that Diamond Life, A Life of Purpose!
