  • NexaLink app installed
  • Digital business card created
  • Attending a networking event

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Prepare Before the Event

Open the NexaLink app and make sure your card is updated with current info, title, and photo.

Tip: Add the event name to your card notes so contacts remember where they met you
2

Choose Your Sharing Method

For one-on-one conversations use NFC tap; for group settings use QR code; for remote follow-ups use the share link.

Tip: QR code is the most universal and works for anyone with a smartphone
3

Share During the Conversation

When the moment feels right, offer to share your card digitally by showing your QR code or offering an NFC tap.

Tip: Say something natural like 'Let me share my card so we can stay connected'
4

Tag and Note New Contacts

After each exchange, quickly tag the new contact with the event name and a brief note about your conversation.

Tip: Do this within 5 minutes while the conversation is still fresh
5

Follow Up Within 48 Hours

Review your event contacts and send personalized follow-up messages referencing your conversation.

Tip: Set a follow-up reminder in NexaLink CRM right after the event

Frequently Asked Questions

Do recipients need the NexaLink app?

No. When someone scans your QR code, taps your NFC, or clicks your link, your card opens as a mobile-optimized webpage in their browser. They can save your contact directly — no download required.

Can I update my card after sharing it?

Yes. Change your job title, phone number, or company and every person who received your card sees the update instantly. No reprints, no re-sharing — one card, always current.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 1 digital card, basic templates, QR code sharing, and 10 card scans per month — with no time limit or credit card required. Upgrade to Pro ($5.99/month) for unlimited cards and NFC sharing.

How is this different from a paper business card?

Paper cards can't be updated, don't track engagement, and get lost in pockets. A digital card stays current, shows you who viewed it, and lets recipients save your contact in one tap.

What sharing methods are available?

Five options: QR code (they scan it), NFC tap (phone-to-phone, Pro feature), direct link (text or email), Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet. Pick whichever fits the moment.
