The problem: I couldn’t remember who I met
As an AI strategy consultant, I’m in networking spaces often — SME events, E3 Power Team sessions, bootcamp open days, speaking engagements. Every time, the same thing happens. Someone hands me a name card, or we just quickly scan each other’s WhatsApp. It feels efficient in the moment.

Then I get home. I open my phone, and there’s a new contact saved with just a name and number. No context. No memory of what we talked about, which event it was, or why I should follow up. Multiply that by every event I attend, and I was quietly losing dozens of good connections a month — not because I didn’t care, but because there was no system holding the memory for me.

The handshake was never the problem. It’s what happens — or doesn’t happen — in the days after, when the memory of who they are starts to fade.
What I built to fix it
So I created a digital namecard that does the remembering for me. Here’s how it actually works, in the order a person experiences it:

They scan my QR code. It saves my contact directly to their phone — no typing, no mistakes.
They can come back to the same page afterward and leave a few details for me — their name, company, and a note on how we met — so I can remember and follow up properly.
Or, they can WhatsApp me straight from the card. This is the part I’m most happy with. One tap opens a chat with me, already saying who they are and where we met. That message becomes a record in both of our phones, instantly. No waiting, no forgetting.
On my end, I have a private back-end I can log into, where I see everyone who filled up the lead form — their details, when they connected, and from which event. I can mark them as followed up, add notes, and keep track properly instead of relying on memory.
The process now feels almost seamless. Someone I meet at an event can save my contact, message me instantly on WhatsApp, or leave their details if they’d like me to reach out — and either way, there’s a record somewhere instead of nothing.
