I do think a case can be made for this in print form. Thinking that most of the time your interacting with someone in person, your not near a computer. Also, one would think "why not just get that person's business card?" often they don't have one on them. Having a card that they can fill out and hand back to you allows you to capture the information. I think the bigger question is, is it too much information to ask them to fill out on the spot?
Assuming the membership type, billing, and how they will help questions are actually just checkboxes, I would wonder if its really of value to capture their twitter ID when you already ask for their email and phone. I also wonder if company and title are really needed. Sometimes the person doesn't want to be represreted by the company they work for in the communication (i.e. maybe they work for a large corp but are planning to quit and go freelance). My suggestion would be to have just Name, email and phone... maybe a checkbox to indicate if the phone is home, mobile, or work so you can anticipate how they may respond when you call and what are the best times to call at that number. So: Name: __________________________________ E-Mail: __________________________________ Phone: ____________ [ ] Work [ ] Mobile [ ] Home Membership Type: [ ] Full Time [ ] Part Time [ ] Day Tripper Preferred Billing: [ ] Annual [ ] 6 Months [ ] Quarterly [ ] Monthly I can help with: [ ] Spreading the Word [ ] Recruiting Members [ ] Planing Events Thats just my 2 cents... take it or leave it. I also used a bit lighter wording. Having the "I will" is a commitment, but thinking about the context of handing this to someone in a social party / networking event atmosphre, thats a pretty solid commitment to make on the spot when you may be meeting a coworking space owner for the first time. I think it's better to ease into. Get a feel for their interest then pursue them from there. - Nick On Nov 20, 5:06 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To answer your questions: > > 1.
