[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I put them in 3 ring binder sheets made for them. [b]I order them chronologically and label them with the date and location I met the person[/b]. [/quote]

Really?  Can I ask what you do?  That seems like a lot of work for business cards.[/quote]

I do research for a non-profit. It doesn't take any extra time...come back from meeting, scribble the date (month and year) in the corner and the conference initials if applicable, stick it in the last page of the folder on my desk.

I do a lot of work with groups around the world and I often meet with people with difficult names to remember.  Putting all the business cards together from the same meeting allows me to remember the name and place the person the next time I see them...'oh, Person A, it's great to see you again.  We met last January in Prague at the XYZ conference.  How did your research on ABC turn out?  I'd love to follow up with you and Person B next time you're in DC'

I used to not label with the date/place but if you meet with multiple groups from a certain company throughout the year and they all have difficult-to-remember names, then I would get confused by a stack of business cards not remembering which of the 10 cards from company X involved the conversation about a specific topic.

If someone gives me a card and asks me to follow up with them on something, I also write that info right on the card.
