The challenge
Paper cards date quickly and are easy to lose
Networking depends on making it easy for people to follow up. A paper card can be misplaced, while a contact saved with incomplete details may not be recognised later.
Members also need a practical way to keep their own professional information current without asking an administrator to reissue anything.
How MyNetworx approaches it
One member-managed profile
Members maintain their name, photo, company, role, contact details, biography and relevant web or social links in MyNetworx.
The profile has a stable public link. Members choose whether search engines may index it, while anyone with the link can open the profile and save the contact details as a vCard.
In practice
Useful at meetings and afterwards
The same profile supports face-to-face sharing and later follow-up.
Share a link
Use the phone’s normal sharing options to send the public profile link.
Show a QR code
Let another person scan the profile directly from the member’s screen.
Save the contact
A visitor can download the available details as a vCard for their contacts app.
Benefits
A profile members can keep current
Less rekeying
Contact details can be saved instead of typed from a card.
Member control
Members update their own profile and decide on search visibility.
Consistent identity
The same information supports the member directory and public sharing.
Common questions
Questions about this feature
