Chris: I’ve been looking forward to this reception for weeks. I can’t wait to get sure of my own leads. You know, start making new connections.

Nora: Smart thinking. But what are you going to do with all those brochures?

Chris: The party ends at two, I figure I can have them all distributed by one-thirty,

Nora: No, no, no, no. Let me clue you in. Those brochures will make you look like a green hand.

Chris: What should I do then?

Nora: Hand out business cards. That’s the way to do it.

Chris: I don’t understand what’s wrong with these brochures about our company.

Nora: This room is going to be filled with potential clients, but there is an unwritten law; you leave your work at the door.

Chris: But how am I supposed to get anything of this if we can’t talk business?

Nora: You have business cards. Get out there and exchange cards. Just get a card for a card.

Chris: Then follow up on Monday?

Nora: You catch on quick. Let’s split up so we can cover more ground.

Chris: Great idea. This is going to be a piece of cake. I’ll meet you back here at two.

Chris and Nora are going to a reception. Chris is eager to making new connections. As the party ends at two, he intends to have all those brochures distributed by one- thirty. But Nora disagrees, saying that those brochures will make him look like a green hand. She advises him just to hand out business card and leave his work at the door. But Chris wonders how he can get anything out of this if she can’t talk business. To this, Nora insists that he should just get a card for a card. Chris catches on quickly and knows that he can hand out business cards now and follow up on Monday. Finally, Nora suggests splitting up so that they can cover more ground. Chris feels it will be a piece of cake and promise to meet her back there at two.
