How to enter all those business cards into your database

When I first became a Sales Rep I found myself gathering a lot of business cards and entering them by hand into my Outlook database. This was going along fine until I reached the point were it no longer became time efficient. The first thing that did was just stop entering the people into my database, and of course this didn’t work for me. I needed that contact information for the people that I was meeting.
I then was introduced to a Business Card Scanner. I personally use the CardScan Personal. This is a great little gadget that allows me to quickly and correctly scan all of my business cards into my computer. I then am able to sync the CardScan files directly into my Outlook, including all of the categories.
You should be able to pick one of these up for around $160. I just did a search at both Best Buy and Circuit City and the price was the same. Also another scanner that would be beneficial to many of you is the Neat Receipts.  This allows you to easily scan all of your receipts on the road.
