I can't tell you how many events I've attended where financial advisors don't come prepared with their business card.

Don't they know that business cards breed business? I had this debate with a room full of financial advisors last week. Maybe it's a thing.

But if you attend events, how are you going to win that raffle? Or convince those you meet that you didn't come to the event unprepared? Or that you're not playing some Jedi mind trick where you want to collect cards from others and not be prepared to give yours (What's up with that?)?
