Use fictional data in examples. Replace it with your own records only after review.

Rules for filling the list

Keep one person per row. Use the name as printed, then correct obvious OCR errors after checking the card. Preserve the event name and a short factual note. Write one next step, assign one owner and add a due date. Use a small status vocabulary such as New, Review, Ready, Contacted and Closed.

Import from a scanner

EximAgent Business Card Scanner lets you edit extracted fields and export contacts. Review names, email addresses and phone numbers before handing the file to a teammate. Keep the source and consent note so the next person can understand where the record came from. See /business-card-scanner.

A simple handoff routine

At the end of each event, export the batch, remove duplicates, review required fields and assign owners. The owner confirms the next step and updates status after contact. A short daily review prevents event leads from becoming an unowned list.

A consistent template makes scanned contacts easier to review, export and act on.
