Importance of business cards and Contact Info

[Krystle Little]

Hello, I'm a newbie just starting out (I haven't yet done a deal yet), looking to get into wholesaling single family homes. I was thinking about getting business cards, but I don't yet have a business name, LLC, website, and only have a cell phone as of right now.

Would it make sense to have all these listed above before I decide to get business cards? How much importance do you all feel it is to have business cards starting out?  Also, how are investors contacting clients? cell phone, house/business number? Just curious.

Hi and from one newbie to another I want to encourage you to get some business cards as soon as you can. I like you an absorbing all I can to be educated before I make my first deal. I attended my first REI group meeting last Wed and before I did just printed some business cards in my inkjet. I bought some blank Avery cards from staples and went to their site and used their template to put my name phone number and email address. I had already decided on a business name as I have been think about doing this for years. So I added that. And that was it.

My first hello was someone asking me for my business card. I was very nervous walking into that room with all those accomplished and long time experts but they were so welcoming and I was so glad I had done my cards! I gave 5 out. And got 10.

Just a blurb about the Avery cards. The linen ones look as good or better than my "day job" business cards and I work for a multi national multi billion dollar company. Also if I want to make changes as I learn and grow I haven't spent money on cards I can no longer use. I'm just printing 20 at a time.
