Popl Digital Business Cards: What's in it for Your Team?

See what our Digital Business Cards plan delivers: branded profiles, instant sharing, basic lead capture, CSV/Outlook/CRM export, and engagement analytics. Learn rollout steps, best practices, and when to consider Event Lead Capture.

Updated this week

Overview

Our Digital Business Cards (DBC) plan helps teams replace paper cards with a faster, trackable, and brand-consistent way to connect.

Your team can instantly share contact details, capture leads in the moment, and measure impact across events, representatives, and regions. Popl is used by organizations of all sizes—from field and event teams to revenue, recruiting, and customer success—because it turns introductions into usable data and follow-ups.

Trusted by millions of professionals and a large share of the Fortune 500.


What Popl does

  • Share instantly: QR code, link, or tap—no app required for the recipient. Works even with poor connectivity.

  • Keep everyone on brand: Company templates, email signatures, and virtual backgrounds ensure a consistent, professional look.

  • Make every connection actionable: Capture and organize contacts, add context with notes/tags, and export to your systems.

  • Prove ROI: See which events, reps, and channels drive the most views, taps, and leads.

Result: fewer missed follow-ups, cleaner data, and clearer attribution from first hello to closed loop.

Feature highlights

  • Simple sharing (recipient doesn’t need the app): QR, link, or tap to a mobile-friendly profile.

  • Smart capture: Scan paper or digital cards; AI can enrich missing details like job title or email.

  • Flexible profiles: Share your own card—or a colleague’s—based on context.

  • Desktop & mobile apps: Organize contacts, add notes/tags, export, and view insights across the organization.

  • Attribution & analytics: Prove ROI with metrics by event, rep, and time period.

Note: Some advanced capabilities (e.g., campaign tagging, advanced lead routing, event badge scanning, bulk list enrichment) require our Event Lead Capture plan.


Getting started (Admins)

  1. Decide your rollout: start with a pilot team (e.g., field marketing) or roll out company-wide.

  2. Branding & templates: set logos, colors, and role-based card templates.

  3. Add members: invite via email; assign roles and permissions.

  4. Integrations & exports: confirm CSV/Outlook processes; configure CRM export if applicable.

  5. Enable lead capture methods: contact exchange forms, paper, or digital card.

  6. Training: share a 10-minute guide covering when to share, how to capture, and where to log context.

First-week checklist for the team

✓ Everyone has a digital card wallet pass and QR saved to their lock screen.

✓ Each rep does 3 test shares and 1 contact capture.

✓ One CSV/Outlook/CRM export completed and validated end-to-end.

✓ Analytics reviewed to confirm data is flowing.

Best practices for adoption

  • Make it visible: Add QR codes to booth signage, email signatures, and presentations.

  • Script the handoff: “Let me share my details—scan this and I’ll send a quick follow-up.”

  • Capture context now: Tag, note, or assign before the conversation ends.

  • Close the loop fast: Export immediately so follow-up happens the same day.


Security & Privacy

  • Directory-friendly: Sync from your org directory; control which fields display externally.

  • Audience control: Limit or customize information shown for specific scenarios (e.g., events vs. enterprise meetings).
