Three Ways to Add Contacts

Networking Hub also makes it easy to capture prospect contact information and powerfully amplify your connections. There are three ways to add contacts:

1. Scan Your Contact’s Business Card

In the lower right hand corner of the mTap App, click the plus sign, then select the icon that looks like an image in a camera frame.

Your camera will open, allowing you to move your prospects’s business card in front of your phone.

At this point, you need to do nothing! The mTap app will automatically capture an image of your prospect’s business card.

It will also add your prospect’s contact information, including their first name, last name, email address and phone number. 

Review the information to make sure it is correct and add any additional information about your prospect.

When you are satisfied that it is right, save the contact. You will have saved all of your prospect’s contact information plus an image of their paper business card.

2. Add Your Contacts Manually 

You can also add contacts manually to your mTap Networking Hub.

In the lower right hand corner of the mTap App, click the plus sign, then select the icon that looks like a pencil writing.

Now you can easily enter your prospect’s contact information and select save.

3. Import Your Contacts from Your Phone 

You can also add contacts directly from your phone contact list to your mTap Networking Hub.

In the lower right hand corner of the mTap App, click the plus sign, then select the icon that looks like a phone book.

You can now select the contacts from your phone book that you want to add to your Networking Hub by simply clicking on each name. 

Once you have chosen all of the names you want to include in Networking Hub, click the icon in the upper right hand corner.

Instantly the contacts from your phone book are added as prospects to your Networking Hub.

Make sure you have managed your SMS and Email communication templates as each contact you add will instantly receive a message from you.
