Every day we're chasing more followers. More website visitors. More email subscribers. But what if the most valuable piece of digital real estate isn't on the internet at all? It's being saved in someone else's contacts. Think about what happens after someone saves your vCard. 📞 When you call, your name appears. 💬 When you text, they know exactly who it's from. 📧 When you email, you're no longer just another sender in their inbox. Instead of wondering, "Who is this?" They instantly recognize you. That's powerful. Social media platforms can change. Algorithms can change. Even websites come and go. But a saved contact stays on someone's phone until they choose to remove it. That's why I don't think the goal is getting someone to scan a QR code. The goal isn't even getting them to visit your Link-in-Bio. The real goal is earning a permanent place in their contacts. Because every future call, text, email, appointment reminder, follow-up, or CRM message starts with something that can't be bought... Recognition. And recognition builds trust. Do you have a proven way to get others to save your most important contact details saved to their device ? Let me know how you do it 👇

📱 Choosing the Right QR Code for the Situation Matters Not all QR codes are created equal. If you're meeting someone one-on-one at a networking event, coffee shop, meetup, or in-person conversation, a branded Logo QR Code is often the perfect choice. Your logo grabs attention, reinforces your brand, and creates a more memorable first impression. But what if you're promoting your community at a larger event? My friend @Nick Nebelsky is headed to a World Cup game, and if you've ever met Nick, you know he's a master promoter. He understands that when you're surrounded by thousands of people, visibility and simplicity matter. That's why a large, traditional black-and-white QR code is often the better choice for crowded environments. Why? Because high-contrast black-and-white QR codes are generally easier to scan from greater distances. The farther away your audience is, the more important scan reliability becomes. A simple rule: ✅ Close-range sharing = Logo QR Code ✅ Large crowds or long-distance scanning = Traditional Black & White QR Code The goal isn't just to look good. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for people to connect with your community, profile, or offer. Every extra bit of friction reduces the chances of someone taking action. 📸 Speaking of large-event QR codes... The image of Nick is AI generated, but it will work if you scan it from your desktop. Take a scan and see where it leads. 👀 Don't spoil it for everyone else—drop a comment with your first impression after you land there.👇

Last week, I jumped on a live call with Vince Joyn from Local SEO Skool—and we kept it real. Instead of just talking strategy… we BUILT something real. 👉 We created an IRL flyer designed to drive offline attention → QR scan → straight into his community. This is exactly what I’ve been preaching: Attention → Scan → Community Why this matters (especially for local businesses): Ranking in Google Business isn’t just “SEO”… It’s one of the most powerful lead sources you can have: 🔥 Inbound leads without paying for ads 📞 More calls, clicks, and direction requests ⭐ Instant trust from reviews + visibility 📍 Dominate your local area (you don’t need national reach) 💰 Higher conversion traffic (people are ready to buy) 🧲 Compounding visibility over time 📱 Mobile-first exposure right inside Google Maps 🚫 Less reliance on social media algorithms And here’s the opportunity right now: Vince’s Local SEO Skool is currently FREE to join… …but once he hits 100 members, it jumps to $9/month. If you want to rank in Google Maps, this is where you should be. Real strategies. Real conversations. People are actively working on the same goal. My move: 👉 Get in while it’s free 👉 Use simple IRL tactics (like flyers) to drive traffic 👉 Turn real-world attention into local visibility Online growth doesn’t start online. It starts IRL. — Jeff A replay of the call is in the comments.
