What Companies That Quadrupled Their Sales Meetings Do After Exchanging Business Cards.
You hand out many business cards at exhibitions and networking events, but they don't lead to sales meetings. The problem isn't the number of encounters.
The reason why handing out business cards doesn't lead to sales.
You've exchanged many business cards at exhibitions and networking events, but they don't lead to subsequent sales meetings or sales—this is a common concern shared by many sales representatives and executives.
What's missing isn't the "number of encounters." It's about how much you can convey right at the moment of the encounter, and how quickly you can follow up while you're still remembered. This is the biggest variable that differentiates outcomes.
And the reasons for stalled follow-ups always center on the same issues.
- You hand out physical business cards and that's it, then manually enter them later.
- Writing follow-up emails is troublesome, so it gets postponed.
- Even if you contact them a few days later, the other person doesn't remember you anymore.
- Attaching documents or proposing the next meeting is a hassle, and the interest in a sales meeting cools down.
Growing companies design "the flow after business card exchange."
Growing companies don't just end at "greetings" with business card exchanges. From the moment of encounter, they've set up an operation that leads directly to a sales meeting.

Even with the same "encounter," results can vary significantly depending on the design. Redesigning business card exchange as the initial sales funnel to generate sales meetings—this is what creates a 4x difference.
What is the smart business card, "Share-Me"?
Share-Me is a digital business card service that allows you to smartly share information that cannot be fully conveyed by paper business cards with a single touch. It is quietly gaining popularity among executives and sales organizations.
Just tap the dedicated card to a smartphone.
First, share your company's information. Simply hold the card over the other person's smartphone, and their profile, service materials, and contact channels are instantly shared without the need for an app. While paper business cards alone can get lost, using them together ensures that your service information is not only remembered by the other person but also that all your company's service information is conveyed "on the spot."
Scan the other person's business card → AI automatically manages it.
Simply scan the paper business card you receive. AI automatically structures the name, company, and contact information and stores it in a database. No manual input is required.
AI automatically generates follow-up emails.
This is the key. AI drafts the text, from thank-yous to material guidance and proposals for the next sales meeting, according to the other person's industry, position, and your tone. Then, simply hit send.

What differentiates results after a business card exchange is the "speed of follow-up." However, in reality, writing follow-up emails is often troublesome and tends to be postponed. Share-Me automates this entire process.

Share-Me vs. Other Digital Business Cards.
A thorough comparison reveals the decisive difference.
"Digital business cards" themselves are no longer uncommon. The question is, how much can be automated afterward?
While there are many digital business card services, no other service offers end-to-end automation of follow-ups. This is Share-Me's true differentiator.
You can start from a one-time purchase of about ¥4,000.
When you hear "AI-powered smart business card service," you might imagine a monthly fee of tens of thousands of yen. Share-Me is the exact opposite. Once you buy a smart card, core functions are free forever.
AI Follow-up Email Feature

First, buy a smart card and make the most of the free features. When the frequency of follow-ups increases, consider a subscription - this is a realistic and manageable order.
