I am an awful networker and business card hander outer!Yesterday was an unusual day for me and we had two big events.
The first was a group from National Parks all over the country. We gave them a tour of the farm, talked to them about how we got into the program, and feed them some Leek and Potato soup... We had 60 people in our barn, coffee set up for them, a table with the soup, and I did not put ANY business cards on the table, not one!
Right after that was done I drove up to Cleveland where I was sitting on a Green Building Panel at E4S. This even starts and ends with networking and I did not have ANY not even one business card. I do not know how many times I had to say "I'm sorry, I forgot my cards!"
No one tell my boss, OK...
Two big business mistakes in one day...

Hey, small world! I was at the E4S meeting last night and heard you speak. I read your blog because I am on your waiting list for a farm share, and I didn't know your name. I think of you as Farmer Girl :)
If it makes you feel any better, I have been attending E4S meetings for 2 years and have never had business cards. People can always take down your information to get in touch with you.
I'm not very good at handing out cards, either. I always feel like I'm selling myself to people. I'd better get over it, though, because pretty soon I have to start doing "go sees" for modeling, which pretty much IS selling yourself!
