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:
- Open the LinkedIn app on your phone and go to the search bar.
- Click on the QR icon in the upper right side of the search bar.
- Select the option “My code” (Note: you may need to grant access to your camera first).
- 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!
- 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!
