Week 7 EOC Progress Towards My Professional Contacts

I have collected a few business cards now of bankers, accountants, insurance companies, and attorneys/lawyers. The banker business cards that I have are two different people from Wells Fargo, one from Bank of Nevada and one from US Bank. One card that I got from Wells Fargo I went in and talked to someone that I see regularly when going to the bank and ask if I could have one of his business cards. His name is Mark Salehi and he had no problem giving his card but asked what I wanted for. So I told him that I need an accountant's business card because I am building a business plan for when I am ready to start my photography business. The Other Wells Fargo card and the US Bank were just walk ins and I asked for a business card. The Bank of Nevada card I got was from the banker that I usually go to when dealing with my account. So far I only have one card for an insurance company. The company is Farmers and I already have different kinds of insurance from them so I had their business card already. I have a few more business cards from attorneys/lawyers most of them came from my mom who had these already because of going bankruptcy and other reasons. One that I have from David Francis was someone who came into my job and gave us her business card. I have a business card for an attorney that is our family's attorney who deals with important stuff of the family. His name is Scott Swain and never have spoken to him or even seen him because usually the only people who do are my older brother and aunt. The business card is not his directly but one of where he works. Some other business cards that I have are from places that print all kinds of things such as banners, postcards, and business cards. Got those from business that we deliver to. A couple others are from car dealerships and that might have nothing to do with photography but do go on location for shoots and carry all the equipment is important to have a car. So thought these are good to have since I am currently trying to find a vehicle. One business card I got from a customer I had who asked if I had a facebook and told them no. So I told him though that I will probably get one to help meet people since I am a photographer. So he gave me his business card so that when I do I could find him on facebook from his email. So far I have a good amount of business cards for a start though every chance I get I will be getting more to have a bigger range of contacts.
