As part of trying to get myself organized back into something useful, I’ve been looking at redoing my business card. Something that suggests that I write and teach and create with the intention to teach.
Unfortunately, my Moo cards (my first attempt at addressing the problem) haven’t arrived yet.
This afternoon, I was out shopping, and a cashier at a store I frequent asked for my email address to get on the store’s mailing list. I had just gotten out of a training where I spent most of the time as either a go-fer, tech support, or a practice dummy, so I really didn’t want to stand there and spell out the address. (You’d be surprised how few people spell “Rebecca” correctly on the first try. Maybe that’s because there are at least seventeen different spellings. Heh.) It suddenly dawned on me that I had my business cards on me, though, so I pulled one out and pointed out the address.
The cashier typed it in and then read my card. “You design jewelry?”
“I used to. I don’t anymore.”
She seemed disappointed with that, but asked to keep the business card. It turns out she wants to get into creating the types of jewelry I made, so I suggested a couple of my favorite jewelry design books to her, which she wrote on the back of my business card.
So I got rid of another card…and helped someone out in the process. Works for me!
