Ditch Business Cards: A New Way to Network

 

Samantha Russell shares one of the easiest ways to exchange contact information with leads or new acquaintances at live events: your LinkedIn QR code. 

When you attend an event, instead of handing out business cards or trying to put email addresses in your phone in real time, try this instead:

  1. Open the LinkedIn app on your phone and go to the search bar.
  2. Click on the QR icon in the upper right side of the search bar. 
  3. Select the option “My code” (Note: you may need to grant access to your camera first).
  4. Share your profile with your new contact – allow them to hover their camera over your QR code and it will instantly pull you up for them!
  5. OR, if you need to scan someone else's QR code, you can switch to the "Scan" Tab.

Now you’re connected and can review background info – and easily follow up!
