Introduction of Raj Goel ( a mini bio)
While I was working on the course development, I was fortunate to get inputs from great networkers and entrepreneurs. The process involved looking at the challenges faced by great networkers, testing and re-testing the product until we were happy with the training material. A frequent feedback and testing process with these networking mavens resulted in great improvement to the product. I’m so confident that it will transform your networking efforts that I’m offering a 1 year, 100% money back guaranntee!

1. What motivated Business Card Mastery?
Over the past 5 years, as I learned (and worked) with powerful networkers, I saw time and again, they all faced the same challenge – their desks were drowning in business cards they had collected over the last year.
Some bought a card scanner, others threw out boxes of business cards into the garbage.
That struck me as a huge waste of time, money and energy.
Why go to networking events, make an impression, get someone’s card because you liked something about them and THEN throw all that effort away?

2. How would BCM benefit entrepreneurs and professionals?
The constant challenge of any good networker is to stay on top-of-mind of the people you meet. How often have you gotten a referral or sale because someone was thinking about you?
And what have you done lately, to stay on the top of their minds?
Traditional forms of marketing (TV advertising, radio, newspaper ads, even home-grown newsletters) are expensive to implement. Email and e-newsletters are cheap, and many people do them…poorly.
The only thing worse than not sending an email, is the dreaded “Dear Friends” email.
You might as well send a “Dear John” letter to your prospects.

3. What is your experience of applying BCM?
During the process of developing and refining BCM, we organized, scanned and researched over 5000 contacts.
We created over 20 targetted mailing lists, and over the past 4 years, 90% of our new business has come from referrals and networking.
Equally importantly, I’ve made myself invaluable to clients and colleagues by being the connector – because I always have everyone’s latest contact information, it’s easy to forward vcards, make email introductions or connect people in seconds.

4. What makes BCM indispensable for any serious networker?
Firstly, you eliminate the business-card sprawl. Regaining deskspace is a huge relief.
Secondly, you put an end to the cold meeting. How many times have you met someone and found you had little to talk about? Only to learn later you had many friends, clients or interests in common? How many times have you promised to introduce people to each other, and then forget to do it?
BCM puts an end to that.
Starting with the business card, we integrate data from Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, emails and their websites into your database.

5. What are the top 5 facts that networkers should know about BCM?
1. You will need a business card scanner – we recommend the Cardscan Professional. BCM enhances the capabilities of your cardscanner.
2. BCM is easy to understand…and will take time to master. Just like driving a car, you can learn it in a short time, but becoming an expert will take time and discipline. Purchase BCM only if you’re seriously committed to networking and growing your business.
3. BCM teaches you a lot of new skills, tips and techniques. You can go through them all or learn each one individually – either approach will increase your networking effectiveness.
4. We’re adding new videos and tutorials constantly – and you get access to our library as part of your BCM purchase.
5. You are NOT alone.

Need help in implementing or mastering BCM? The BCM website lists BCM-trained personal assistants, professional organizers and virtual assistants. Use them to get the job done faster, and cheaper than doing it yourself.

6. Would BCM show immediate results?
Yes.
1. A client used to keep business cards in shopping bags – she had collected over 5500 business cards over the past 3 years. And it kept bothering her that she had all these contacts but she couldn’t connect with more than a handful.
Using BCM, she scanned in all her cards, and using a BCM-trained Virtual Assistant, she had her contacts database verified, organized and cleaned up.
She was able to pitch her new services to over 4000 qualified prospects….in minutes.
2. A top Financial Planner used BCM, and custom consulting, to integrate his Treo with Lotus Notes, and a custom online CRM platform. By having all his client and contacts data centralized and organized, and marketing to them effectively, he’s become one of the best salesmen in his agency, and the company.
At the same time, he’s developed a reputation as a networkers-networker, and a connector.
3. A commercial Real Estate broker used BCM to organized 1500 businness cards, integrate it with ACT!, and develop a weekly email campaign that increased his business 50% over 1 year.
4. I’ve used BCM to launch and market 2 new products, with great results.

7. Apart from business networking, what else can users learn from BCM?
Whether you’re a master networker, a new entrepreneur or a student, following up with people is a fact of life. 99% of the time, you get the deal because of who you know, and who knows you, not what you know.
BCM teaches you how to expand your center-of-influence. Using it, you can build and expand your personal brand – whether you’re looking for clients, a new job or launching a new business venture..
The skills in BCM are applicable to all areas of life – the same skills you learn when researching prospects can be used to keep tracks of the big (and small) events in your friends’ lives.
The same skills you use to connect clients with vendors can be used to help a friend land a job, or help a kid get into law school or help your charity (or non-profit) execute it’s mission better.

8. What do you love about BCM?
1. I love that 10,000+ people know who I am, and what I do.
2.  I love that whatever I need, from Insurance to Rental Cars to Airline tickets to a maid, I know who to call. H&R Block says “You’ve got people”. BCM says “You’ve got people…in the palm of your hand!”
3.  My biggest challenge, as a networker, was that I could never introduce people to each other – I didn’t remember them, or left their card at the office, or they were in my email…somewhere. With BCM, the latest information is available on my smartphone, and I can connect people in a matter of seconds. Makes me valuable with family, friends and clients!

9. What do you mean by 100% risk free guarantee?
Buy BCM. Use it for a whole year. If you don’t see a significant improvement in your networking ability, send it back for a full refund.
If BCM fails to make you a more profitable entrepreneur, send it back.
