To do these things you need a way to communicate!
Today’s business environment is competitive and fast moving. Written communications
are mostly by email – payments from your customers and to your suppliers are made by
electronic banking.
These are facts:
- 75% of all small businesses are owner operated
- 60% of all small business operators are aged between 30 and 50 years
- Since 1995 there has been a continuing increase in the proportion of operators
aged greater than 50 years and a decrease in operators aged 30 to 50 years
- The majority of older age group owners are less likely to be as computer literate
as their younger counterparts, rely on more traditional ways of doing business,
and want simple computerised management systems that are easily manage
and use.
Kardeasy.com is a good place to start.
By using the Kardeasy business card storage and contact system you can:
- Scan and capture the details of every business card you have from your
customers or from visitors to your business (prospective customers)
- Say you collect 5 cards a day – in a week you have 25 contacts – in a month 100
– and in a year 1,200 business contacts!
- Use this information to drive sales and profits
How?
- Start now!! Get your Kardeasy business card database operational immediately.
- Put a policy in place to make sure all staff ask for business cards from everyone
who visits your business. Even if they did not purchase anything if they visited you
it is a good indication that they are interested in what you have to sell.
- Set aside a time (5 or 10 minutes) each week to enter all business cards
collected for that week.
- Business and customer contacts are the lifeblood of your business – get used to
regular collection of your customer and business contact details and in no time
at all you will build a valuable business asset (particularly important if you intend
to sell your enterprise one day).
- Secure your business information - with Kardeasy now if a staff person leaves
your employment – YOU have all the contact information.
- Subscribe for our free newsletter on our website and once you are familiar with
the Kardeasy system then we will show you how easy it to communicate with
your business contacts and prospective customers on a regular basis for very
small cost in time and money.

In small business contacts are like GOLD!
Think of every contact you have ever made in your business
since you started and imagine what you could do if you had
a way to communicate with them.
You could offer your latest product, new service, or do
something as basic as letting everyone know that you have
moved to new premises.
- Salespersons can use the memo notepad in the Kardeasy system to enter simple
contact information and call action reminders.
- They can move a business card contact from a general contact to a hot lead card file
when they are about to close a sale and use the hot lead file to make telephone or
email contact for important follow up.
- They can easily keep your office based main salesperson contact file up to date – if
they leave you have all of the important information
Think about this – a sales person makes on average 10 sales based contacts or calls each
day/ 5 days per week/ 40 weeks of the year - that’s 2,000 sales contacts made in a year by
just one salesperson – do you have all this information at your fingertips today?
Give a Kardeasy scanner to each salesperson with a laptop.
Have them scan cards and enter business details for every
sales call they make.
When back in the office a simple mouse-click process allows
them to update the day/week’s work straight into your office
Kardeasy data base – no more wasted time (good
salespersons are generally hate/won’t do the paperwork and
will do just about anything to avoid it!).
