Never Miss a Connection Again: Introducing Contact Swap

Written by Pitch59 | Aug 20, 2025 10:29:23 PM

It’s happened to all of us. You’re at a conference, networking event, or even just standing in line at the coffee shop. You strike up a conversation with someone who seems like the perfect potential client or collaborator. You’re energized, exchanging ideas—and then comes the awkward pause.

They don’t have a business card. You don’t have a pen. You promise to “find each other on LinkedIn,” but deep down, you know the connection may slip away the moment you part ways.

That’s exactly the problem we set out to solve.

 

Introducing Contact Swap: Your Networking Safety Net

With Contact Swap now live in the Pitch59 app, you’ll never lose another valuable lead. Whether your new connection has a PitchCard, a business card, or nothing at all, you can instantly capture their details and keep the relationship alive.

Here’s how it works:

  • Add leads manually: Enter their name, company, email, and phone number right on the spot. Add quick notes so you’ll remember where and why you connected.
  • Scan business cards instantly: No more stacks of paper cards collecting dust. Just snap a photo in the app, and their info is saved and organized.

From there, you can:

✔ Save them to your contacts

✔ Set auto-reminders to follow up

✔ Export your leads into CSV for seamless CRM integration

 

Why This Changes the Game

Networking experts agree: follow-up is everything. According to Forbes, nearly 80% of professionals consider networking essential to career success, but many admit they fail to stay consistent because of poor organization and missed follow-ups.

In a recent article, we emphasized that small, intentional steps, like remembering where you met someone and why, make all the difference in building trust. Contact Swap makes those steps effortless.

And while traditional business cards are still part of networking, the trend is shifting fast. Readability reports that professionals are increasingly turning to digital-first solutions that are more efficient, sustainable, and trackable.

 

Business Cards, Reinvented

Yes, business cards still matter for many professionals—but their role is evolving. Contact Swap bridges the gap by giving you the best of both worlds:

  • The personal, tangible exchange of contact information.
  • The power of instant digitization, reminders, and searchable contacts.

This is networking for the modern professional—organized, efficient, and built to help you scale your opportunities.

Networking Made Smarter

Whether you’re an introvert easing into conversations or a seasoned networker managing dozens of new contacts, this feature ensures you’ll always have a clear path to follow up and stay connected.
