I’ve always found it a bit awkward when I’m at an event or meeting new people and it comes time to exchange contact info. Like, I either end up fumbling with my phone, trying to share contact and end up typing names into LinkedIn, or awkwardly try to spell out my email while the other person is struggling to hear it over so much background disturbance.
A while back, I tried something different, I set up a digital contact card that people can open just by scanning a QR code or tapping their phone. It took like 10 minutes to set up, and now whenever I meet someone, I can just let them scan it and they get everything at once my number, email, LinkedIn, whatever I choose to share. A lifesaver literally. It’s honestly made things so much easier. No typing needed. No confusion. No wait, let me find you. Just a quick tap and done.
As someone who’s more on the introverted side, I’ve found it really helpful, not just for making the process smoother but also for helping me feel a little more prepared and confident during social interactions.
Also, weirdly enough, people actually remember me more now because they’re like, Oh that was cool, how did you do that? It’s a small thing, but if you ever feel awkward or anxious about networking or even just casually exchanging info, this made a big difference for me. Worth trying. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else finds that part of social interactions a bit stressful, this made it way easier for me.
