Beyond LinkedIn: Why You Still Need a Personal CRM for Offline Connections

---

In a world where LinkedIn defines our digital professional identity, it’s easy to assume that all meaningful connections live online. But that’s not the full picture.

Not everyone you meet is a LinkedIn connection. Not everyone you meet is a professional contact. But every connection you make is a relationship worth nurturing—and that happens when Snap is working for you.

The Gaps LinkedIn Can’t Fill

LinkedIn is an incredible platform for maintaining your professional network—especially when it comes to colleagues, recruiters, clients, and industry peers.
But what about:

• The founder you met at a co-working space over coffee?
• The investor you shared a cab with after a demo day?
• The host at an event who introduced you to your next client?
• The wedding guest who works at a company you’re interested in?
• Your Uber driver who freelances on the side?

These offline, informal, and serendipitous moments often lead to valuable relationships. But they don’t fit neatly into LinkedIn’s structured world of titles, industries, and companies.

SnapCard Complements LinkedIn by Capturing Real-World Relationships

SnapCard isn’t here to replace LinkedIn—it’s here to augment your ability to build and maintain meaningful human relationships across professional and personal contexts.

Here’s how:

🧠 Snap Automatically Remembers What You Can’t

When someone scans your SnapCard (or vice versa), Snap captures:

• Time and location of the meeting
• Tags, notes, and context (e.g., "Met at Figma meetup in Austin")
• Follow-up reminders so you don’t forget to reach out again
• Shared interests or goals, drawn from your bios and interactions

It builds a memory of the moment—so you don’t have to rely on your own.

🤝 Not Just Contacts—Actual Relationships

Snap goes beyond contact management. It helps you build trust by nudging you to:

• Reconnect after a certain period of silence
• Say happy birthday or congrats on a recent win
• Check in when you’re traveling to the same city
• Send a follow-up message after a meaningful exchange

This is relationship intelligence, not just CRM.

🔄 LinkedIn Integration (Coming Soon)

We recognize the value of your digital network, so we’re adding the ability to:

• Import your LinkedIn connections into SnapCard
• Enrich them with real-world meeting data (if applicable)
• Use Snap to stay in touch with both online and offline contacts via nudges, notes, and reminders

Together, SnapCard + LinkedIn give you a 360° view of your network.

Who This Helps Most

• Freelancers: Track leads from meetups, gigs, referrals—not just LinkedIn messages
• Founders & Small Teams: Manage investor, partner, and mentor relationships from early conversations
• Sales Professionals: Convert casual chats and offline leads into deals by staying top-of-mind
• Speakers & Conference-goers: Follow up with audience members, sponsors, and fellow panelists
• Anyone Who Values Connection: Because every relationship—professional or not—deserves attention

Summary

LinkedIn is your digital CV and a valuable professional tool. But the real world doesn’t fit neatly into online boxes.
SnapCard is your personal CRM for the real world—one that captures context, adds memory, and helps you nurture every relationship that matters.

Snap works when you’re not. Every handshake, chat, and scanned card becomes a connection that lives on—because Snap remembers, reminds, and reconnects for you.
