I run a small business and do a lot of networking and I’ve noticed that people aren’t really handing out business cards anymore. Do you still use them?

    This is demonstrably true by experiment, but I think it has to have at least SOME value. Like you can give a drink or buy them a candy bar before you ask for something and they are more likely to donate more money to your cause. It’s called “influence debt” I believe and is discussed pretty palatably in “Influence” by Robert Cialdini. Unfortunately I couldn’t find my notes on it with a quick search.
