Data Enrichment with Handshook – How to find missing contact information from a name badge or business card scan

Data enrichment is the process of improving the data that you have. Handshook has several ways to do this as business cards and event badges are sometimes lacking information, or use uncommon font that can’t be read by OCR and AI easily.

To enrich your Handshook business card scan data follow the steps below:

1. Begin by opening the Handshook business card scanner and trade show lead capture app.

2. Scan an event attendee’s badge with the blue button in the middle.

3. Save the scan.

4. Tap the + icon in the lower right corner.

5. Select one of the following options:

  • Find Website
  • Suggest Email
  • Connect on LinkedIn

We’ll discuss each one individually.

“Find Website” Option

Most event badges do not include a company website. As such, this option allows you to quickly lookup the company website with the tap of a button. Use the suggested websites to locate the right one and tap the checkmark in the top right corner once found. This will save the correct domain to the connection’s profile making it easy to cross reference in your CRM once you export.

“Suggest Email” Option

Like the website domain, event badges often don’t have email addresses listed for privacy reasons.  That being said, if you are engaged with a partner or prospect at a business event or trade show, you don’t want them to have to manually input their contact information. Attendees often only have minutes between sessions.  The suggest email option allows you to quickly pick from several common email formats like first name dot last name, first initial last name, etc.  It even lets you switch from the company domain to common email hosts like @gmail.com and @outlook.com.  All of this allows you to focus more on your conversation while quickly being able to collect prospect information for your sales follow-up.

Connect on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the most popular social media network for professionals. As such, it is a very common way for business professional to stay in touch as people move from company to company. This exclusive Handshook app feature allows you to quickly find a new connection on LinkedIn with one tap and the ability to connect on LinkedIn efficiently.

That’s it! Now you can confidently find alternative ways to stay in contact with people you meet at networking events, expos, and trade shows, even if their contact information isn’t readily available.
