Thats seems invasive. I wouldn’t give my phone to a stranger and would think you are a total creep for asking.
Exactly like what
"Instead of handing them a business card, swipe their phone while they're not looking and text yourself"
You really cant make this up LOL, this is crazy talk
Agreed.
right. hes reaching with this
Instead of asking for her number assert your dominance by dragging her into nearby shrubbery by her undergarments.
Business cards don’t suck but the phone thing works. But the card is a physical reminder of who you are. We’re humans we need that reminder.
Worst advice ever lol
Indeed
Lol
This is not the worse advice I know this for a fact
Agree, bro can't do both lmao. I'm use to networking and business card are nice because they show your personnality (especially when you design them), it doesn't mean the person won't call you back or text you instantly, you can just ask em directly to follow up either later or instantly. It will show people the interest they really get from you.
😂
That's creepy af. Just screams used car salesman
If I were to work a 9-5, I'd be a car salesman for sure 😂
@@B1gBossMan , " 😐 . You are the Arnold 'Screw Your Freedom' Schwarzenegger worshipper for the other video.".
@@ChemicalXII daym I comment a lot 😮💨
Even worse than a used car salesman, a real estate agent.
If someone approached me like this, I’d tell them to take a hike.
Everyone who is genuinely interested in your service still asks for your business card. This is just awkward to do.
My barber gave me his business card after my hair cut and I’m planning on calling him back because it was amazing. People are going to call you if you’ve done a good job.
That seems so aggressive. I’d never do business with someone who did that
Not bad advice, but I improved it for you
Instead of putting you number into their phone and giving it back to them instead just steal the phone and run away
I've done this numerous times and have amassed a wast collection of phones and no longer need to work as I just sell the phones online for parts
The best this about this strategy is the person who gave you the phone can't even call the police given that I have their phone so I don't need to worry about that
Based.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Laughing my ass out😂
He thought he was applying pressure with this advice 😂😂
He thought he was Jordan Belfort
He thought he was 2pac in las Vegas putting his number in a woman's phone 📱
What a clown.
Quickest way to get a restraining order 😂
Give them business card snatch their phone and run away till you disappear. He will definitely call you as soon as possible
;D)))
Thank God...I thought I was the only one who felt uncomfortable with this advice...I will never contact someone who does that to me....
Said nobody ever except this guy 🥴
"Hey, instead of handing you a .01 cent piece of paper with my personal/business info such as my phone number, email, website could you please hand me your 1k dollar device so I can text myself your personal information instead?" - Something I would have done between 16-22 trying to mow lawns.
It's more like .10 .20 cents depending on card lol. But ya this guy is crazy
this is what people do at nightclubs. do this at a networking meeting with the owner or a company of a executive at a corporation, you'll be in for a ride awakening.
I think it depends what type of business you are running.
It’s not a great idea. I always ignore strangers, forget about giving my cellphone number. Never never!
Thats some shit you do at a bar after you do some smooth witty line…. Not for business 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah and it makes people uncomfortable being hit on that way too
@@surreal-wanderer not if you’re attractive to then
You wouldnt know since you ate who you are… never been hit on
@@Perfect_Pizza it really doesn't matter what the guy looks like, being hit on in this kind of aggressive manner neither makes me feel safe nor turned on.
@@surreal-wanderer females love attractive men that are pushy or aggressive. They react differently to unattractive males with the same behavior. That is their psychological and evolutionary response for reproduction. This has been known for a very long time. Its a fact and is proven in the dating world endlessly. Your perspective is invalid to this situation.
As someone who works decently high up at an organization with many many vendors wanting to contact me, if you did this to me I would NEVER take my business to you. This gives the impression that your style of business relies on presence and aggression over knowledge and tact.
It’s all fine until some creep comes up to you saying “hey can I have your phone?”
And begins to text himself with your phone 😂
Someone do a cartoon story over this lol
That’s aggressive asf smh
I'd never hand over my phone to a stranger I just met.
And then what, you're going to force them to talk to you?
Well said 😂
Or you just keep his phone and keep texting yourself😂
Right? lol 😂
Ahh yes invasion of privacy, my favorite activity.
"Hey can i have your phone? Just give it to me real quick! No you cant enter my number, i have to do it. On your phone"
Worst advice ever to advise people to give their number to complete strangers. Business cards are still effective. Just add a QR code to your business cards and potential customers can simply scan from their phone to view your products or services.
That's just seems desperate to anyone who has decent level IQ
B.S this makes you appear desperate and unprofessional. Business people will definitely ask for your card. Not only to call but to send an email and to know your business location.
Business cards don’t suck because it’s something tangible that the person will eventually find in their wallet. I’ve sold so much art with business cards
No, you create value and leave an impression by doing the business card. You forgot the psychological aspect of a sale. Asking for their phone and doing this and that is the most insecure and unprofessional thing you can do, its unethical.
Not completely right but it’s like giving a female your number and hoping she’ll text you.🤣 If I’m lying I’m dying💯
Your still hoping they reply to your text 😅
“Do you have a business card?”
“No, but give me your phone.”
This made me laugh because that’s exactly how it would go 😂
Someone’s been watching too much of andrews taint
Want me to ask for their social security number while I’m at it
The whole point of the business card. Is some people don't feel comfortable giving out their information right away. They're any to go home look you up and your business. Then once they see your real/not a scam, what they looking for and your worth it. That's when they give you a call, then you have make sure to pick that call up.
Honesty this advice has to be a joke right ??? 😂
I think why he should have said was for the business person to politely ask to exchange numbers so they could get in touch easier. I was even expecting he would say don’t give business cards because they just keep it in their purse. Didn’t see this coming 😂😂
;D)))
As someone part of the art community, people LOVE business cards. As they are able to hold onto it and of can contact on THEIR terms when they are ready to do so
bro giving advice like we live in a perfect world…buddy people treat there phone like it’s one of their limbs they not gunna give it to a stranger like that
I would after already having a chat about our businesses
I was taught to ask for their information like an email ( little less personal than a phone number, and you can send properties straight from the mls there ) and then give them a card in case they "have any questions" or anything like that. Open to your guys's suggestions!
If it worked for you that doesn’t mean it’s going to work for others. People don’t like the fact that you now have their phone number, it’s better they get to know you first on the business card instead of being invasive
Giving or presenting your bussiness card to your possible clients is an ethical and polite way rather than taking somebody's phone in your hands and punching your details in their phones
Biz cards are Americans’ way of saying “Shut up, leave me alone. Just give me your card so it’ll seem like I’m interested but I’m really not cuz I already know you’re way too expensive for what you offer.”
And he will block you from all over including emails , 😂
Axaxa...
I wouldn't hand my mom my phone to add a number, this dude expects me to hand it to him?😂
You can have the contact app open and be RIGHT THERE hovering over them while they do this
I’m 25yo and I work in car sales, I usually ask the costumer to text me the make and model of the car they’re interested in. we can have each others phone #. I figured it is better than business cards. and probably not intrusive.
Along this idea, someone had a QR code on their phone to present to me once, I did need to get my phone out to take a photo of it but that may be the best way to handle that.
Stalker vibes lol
if you grab my phone and start typing your own shit in, we might have to fight.
I'm successful from business cards and if you don't have em guess what people are going to ask for them and if you don't have one they gonna be like oh really well good luck!
Let's see Paul Allen's card
😂😂😂😊
I don't know... maybe I'm not in the right customer group that you're targeting. But when I pause this video and look in your eyes, I see someone who doesn't care about me, who doesn't care about what I need and give me a good, quality service that will make my life better and improve the quality of it.
I see someone who just wants my money and lives in the illusion that his efforts to "make a deal" will enable and justify him to push people where he needs them.
If they are interested, then I have them scan a nfc card that has my contact info in it. Takes like 3 seconds. I also have my website on a nfc card for those that are somewhat interested, and then I also have backup paper business cards.
Dude that would piss me off. First off, once you ask for my phone I already see red flags. IF by chance you catch me off guard and I do hand you my phone to Punch your number, the minute you took it upon yourself to invade my privacy In such a cringy way, thats when Byron gets to find out what happens when you f*** around.
Side note as I'm writing this I let the audio continue playing over and over.. and every time he says "PUNCH" all I hear now is, "ask for their phone, and get punched again and again".
Byron should work on his people skills.
But i do have 2 questions. How long has Byron been a salesman, and many restraining orders DOEs Byron have since he's used this technique.
"I'm going to talk to you soon." 💀
doesnt seem invasive when you are good at developing genuine rapport super fast. Works with women too. Be confident and chill gentlemen
It’s amazing how many people in the comments are overexaggerate this. He’s not saying invasively take their phone number. Of course asking beforehand is important and if they say yes, it means they’re OK with it. Again, you’re communicating what you’re going to do before you do it and making sure they’re comfortable with doing so if they agree, then it’s OK. Most people end up losing the business card, misplace it and end up forgetting it entirely that they have it. Or just don’t follow-up. Things happen and they forget. Business cards should still be used but being proactive is more effective.
Someone asks for my phone and it’s a flat “no” and we’re not doing business.
That would turn you into a creep person, not a business man
This is Taco Cabana sir im going to need that phone back.
Business cards have been booming alot here locally. Lots of new entrepreneurs, small businesses who are seeking business cards, flyers, etc. I thought business cards were dead but nope, still booming
What industry is one in that potential customers will just hand you their phone? Lol
I'm not handing anyone my phone. There's too much stuff on it, it's not just the phone.
STUPID ADVICE
Yeah
Some people ask YOU if U have a business card...IF yr card looks AMAZING---cards WILL work.
I would never let someone else touch my phone. I would 100 percent not use that person if they asked such a ridiculous question.
That would make me avoid the hell out of that person…😂
I made a silent vow to never watch shorts again. I made an exception because I thought he was going to offer a valuable alternative... I regret the decision.
Business cards are more than just a means to communication. They can display the professionalism and creativity of a person or business and even grant a brief insight into the quality of service or product they may offer.
If I ever asked a businessman for his card, and he says “aCctUAly BRo gIVe mE YOuR PhoNe RQ.” I would just say nm
Handing you my phone is like handing you my wallet and it's not happening. I've even stopped sales people who want to scroll on my phone because I'm looking for something on their store app.
When I texted “hey this is Byron” they texted me back and said they don’t know a Byron, what now?
;D
When I get someone’s business card , I ASK: “ ok to text you at this #? “
If they answered “yes”, I text them my business card and I still give people my paper business card … as a visual reminder that we met… these techniques don’t have to be MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
This seems more like an excuse if you don’t have the money for business cards lol
I love the comments section 😂😂
I’m never going to ask my passenger for THEIR phone so I can type my number in to it. When I’m asked for my number so they can call me for the future they immediately get my info and they text me right then so I have theirs.
I dislike anyone who asks for my phone or tries to air drop their information into it. Due to such practices, I now keep airdrop disabled and my phone in my purse, especially when I'm networking or interacting with salespeople. It's simply too pushy.
If I connect well with someone, I'll ask if they have LinkedIn and request their permission to send them a connection request.
If they accept my connection request, then I know I've done my job right.
90% of these connections turn into a sale without me having to pitch like a used car salesman.
Why would I say that?
My name's not Byron.
This advice sucks obviously you’re going to give your business card to someone that wants it? Not random people on the street
Oh yea? Then why after everytime your pitch yourself to a potential client they say "do you have a business card?"
Consent sucks. Instead of asking, just go ahead and do it. It's your responsibility to get what you want, not theirs.
Honestly this approach is a little off, I remember being a teenager and not knowing what boundaries were and when guys would ask me for my number I’d say, “no I don’t give my number out to strangers”. But then they’d say, well lemme just put my number in, if you change your mind. So id let them and of course, they’d call themselves right in front of me. My heart would sink.
Hahaha that person will remember that your a creeper taking their phone to call yourself to stalk them hahaha 😂
I normally just call my self with there phone and give a card still
My gf who is graphic designer creates virtual business cards. It works far better and is non invasive. I text them my card... Game over...
Here's why asking a girl out sucks. When you ask a girl out, you're hoping she says yes. Instead, go to her parents' house, kidnap her mother, and tell her you'll only release the hostage on your date. It is your responsibility to establish the date, not the words in your question.
Or just use a virtual business card where they tap your qrc code, and it sends them to your contact page. That way, you only need one business card, and they have your info without coming across as aggressive and creepy
how to get more views:
ask people to stop doing something that actually makes sense and instead do something that makes no sense at all
Just got a funny Instagram story 🤣🤣
This is real life dude, just tell them your cards are in some inconvenient location and tell them to call you on the spot so you can save their number (“I’m more likely to answer a recognized number”). Then follow up with that text. I do this all the time and it only failed when the other person didn’t have their phone on them…in that case I get their number and send digital card..
The world has changed since the 90s my guy
these days everyone wants your number... some sell it on and others just don't call even those they were the ones to ask you for your number.
Give the business card when networking. Do the phone thing after asking for *consent* and they're actually very interested in working with you.
I guess this is a joke, you really made me laugh hahahah
😂😂😂 if it is first meet, then How the person know about visiter and its purpose? If they are unknown then Why the person will meet visiter ? When they wouldn't meet how can can share mobile?
Visiting or Business card is used for first introduction or then after it may be as per understanding or circumstances.
I would definitely not give a random person I just met my phone for this
How to lose a customer 😅
I would never do business with anyone who tried this on me.
You not getting my phone, lol...
You're hoping a business person just hands their phone over. I'd rather not work with someone like that on either side.
