TL;DR: Sales and networking are the backbone of every business. The tools you use to present your brand matter more than ever. Digital business cards like Spreadly help you make lasting impressions, integrate with your CRM, and close deals smarter and faster.
Stop Believing the “Pitching Is Awkward” Myth
Let’s make one thing clear: the idea that pitching your business is inherently awkward? That’s mostly opinion, half-truths floating around LinkedIn and social media. People love to bash sales—cold calls, eager networkers, the whole lot. We get it. No one wants to be that person.
But here’s the thing: sales are what keep your business alive. Money doesn’t just appear—it comes from selling your solution to someone who needs it. If you’re an entrepreneur, startup founder, or anyone keeping the engine running, you want your brand out there. The more people see it, the better.
The tricky part? Not everyone you meet is ready to buy or even interested right away. Sometimes your potential client only hears about your product indirectly—through word-of-mouth, referrals, or recommendations. So how do you make those first interactions smooth and memorable?

Make First Impressions Count
The first impression of your business is everything. Handing out generic paper business cards at events? Forget it. The average attendee meets dozens, if not hundreds, of new people at a single event. How are they supposed to remember your company from that one tiny card in their pile?
The tools you choose to showcase your business determine your efficiency, your long-term success, and how memorable you are. Modern networking solutions are no longer a “trendy gadget”, they’re essential for serious businesses.
Digital Business Cards: Not Just a Paper Replacement
Digital business cards aren’t just the digital equivalent of a paper card—they’re mini websites. They can:
- Link directly to your website or landing pages (perfect for booking demo calls).
- Include social media links, email, and phone contact info.
- Attach files like brochures, guides, or free resources for prospects.
- Feature sign-up forms directly on the card.
With Spreadly, you can customize the design completely to match your corporate identity—colors, fonts, layouts and more.
Integrations That Actually Matter
A card is only as good as the workflow it supports. Spreadly integrates with leading CRMs, so every contact captured flows directly into your system. Your prospects can even book meetings via Calendly right from your card.
But that’s just the beginning:
- Scan paper business cards at events and conferences.
- Automatically capture QR codes and badge info.
- Share your card seamlessly via link, QR code, or Apple/Phone Wallet.
- Use AI-powered lead enrichment to turn snippets into full profiles.
