Leads, bookings and customer data: turning a visiting card into appointments
A visiting card is the start of a conversation. These guides cover what comes next: taking bookings, making sure people turn up, knowing who was interested, and handling their details the way India's law now asks.
These guides cover four jobs that follow a first meeting: giving people a way to book you, cutting the no-shows that empty your slots, understanding what a card can and cannot tell you about who opened it, and keeping the names and numbers you collect within India's DPDP Act. Each works from primary sources and has a tool.
