Stop Transcribing Business Cards: Text Them to Yeoman Instead

When you meet someone new, send Yeoman their business card and message them instantly.

You know how it goes. You leave a trade show, a supplier visit or a networking breakfast with a pocket full of business cards. They sit on your desk for a week. Then you finally type each name, number and email into your phone, one by one, and write a follow-up you meant to send days ago.

By then, the conversation has gone cold.

The old way is broken

Business cards still matter. The people you meet in person are often your best customers, suppliers and partners. But the work that comes after the card is tedious:

• Typing the details in by hand
• Losing cards before you ever get to them
• Writing follow-up emails from scratch, long after the moment has passed

None of that grows your business. It just slows you down.

The Yeoman way: snap, text, done

1. 01Get the card. You meet someone new and they hand you their card.
2. 02Text it to Yeoman. Take a photo and text it to Yeoman at (832) 399-1571.
3. 03They're saved. Yeoman reads the card and saves your new contact's name, business, phone and email.
4. 04Message them right away. Send a follow-up through Yeoman while you're still top of mind.

There's no app to open, no form to fill out and no typing. If you can send a text, you can do it.

Why it matters

Follow-up speed wins deals. The business that reaches out the same day is the one people remember. Yeoman turns "I'll get to it later" into "Already done," so every introduction has a real chance to turn into an order, a partnership or a new customer.

And your contacts don't just sit in a list. On Yeoman, they're connected to everything else you do: buying, selling, invoicing and messaging, all in one place.
