No I most certainly do not.  I do entertain discussion with owners of restaurants and chefs and, if asked, I will provide my contact details for further discussion.

If there is a chance to win a free luch for my office, sure why not!  I don't leave them with the check, that's tacky and can be seen as trying to hit on the waitress.  Don't want to be remembered in that way!

Hello Cap.  I put 5 cards in my pocket everyday to be disbursed to people I come in contact with during the day.  Not farming or door knocking.  Just people like you mention.  Mark

I used to have my wife leave them in the woman's bathroom at high end restaurants! I got some pretty amazing calls. I tell new Realtors--grab 20 business cards and don't go home without giving them out to 20 folks who you've gotten to tell you about their plans for real estate!
