Quotes

“If somebody won’t give you their mobile number, they’re really not interested in building a relationship or buying what you’re offering.”

“Starting a conversation with a prospect by text message is 100 times more powerful than email or phone because it’s permission-based and asynchronous.”

“With SavvyCard, you can embed videos, links, and social media, so your contact becomes an ongoing engagement tool rather than a forgotten business card.”

“The more you use your card, the higher you rank in search results, helping you own your personal brand without paying for SEO services.”
