Is this guy for real? Honestly, I can’t tell.
Dan, I really can’t tell either. That’s why i HAD to post it!
I bet this guy’s card is to advertise his abilities at pop-up books…
His name is Mr. Sofa King Doosh Bag. Snake oil salesman. His next big announcement is coming soon. Rumors are that he found a cure for baldness. Apparently, your hair follicles pop up as soon as you apply the cream, just like how he pops up in his magical business card.
Now that is an ANNOYING person! Jeez.
People who are impressed by a biz card are the same ones who equate success with the car a person guy leases, the neighborhood they live in or the clothes they wear. Does a Rolls Royce biz card guarantee that you will be getting Rolls Royce quality or service? Nope. Don’t be impressed by the flash.
A good biz card can help but it doesn’t have to be a $4/piece pop-up mini-book.
There a number of online business card services where you can choose from many templates, add your own text/images, print on the back and the front and in color for next to nothing. I got 500 cards from vistaprint.com for $7 + $7 S&H (that is about 2.8ยข each). They serve my purpose. In sales, it is the numbers that count. I can hand out 143 cards for the price of ONE of this guy’s cards!
Wow, he’s got that sleazy, arrogant, televangelist, come to Jesus style of preachin’ down pat!
Eeeewwww. Wasn’t he in Glenn Garry Glenn Ross?
He says it took him 25 years to design the business card and it doesn’t fit or belong in a rolodex… So it takes less than 25 seconds to toss it in file 13? What a hoot!
I stopped trying to impress people…I used the time in which I was laid off to create an employment site. The site is http://www.freegovtjobs.com. My site provides free access to vacant city, county, state, and federal jobs across the United States.
Please review the famous business card scene from the cheeseball movie, America Pyscho:

In my world it’s all about chemistry that makes relationships thrive or NOT. I am not impressed with your business card marketing strategy. Your personality would turn off people before getting to the business card exchange step. Who in their right mind would want to do business with a pompous, arrogant, egotistical sales guy such as yourself? Thumbs down on your business card idea, which took you 25 years too long to develop. The idea does not work and the ONLY perfect fit is in the trash!
Reminds me of the scene from American Psycho where they’re discussing business cards…

we should all apply to the EDD they pay $15-20/hr with full state benies. Any takers, they offer a thick accent bonus too.
