D. something you said you would do for the person

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Something you said you would do for the person

Explanation:

First off, I just want to point out one major obvious I have noticed a lot of students missing. It is definitely NOT a. If they give you your business card, then that card tells you what line of business they're in or what they do. So there is literally no reason to re-represent that on the back of the card. B is another obvious. I mean just ask yourself. Would you remember a conversation with a person you briefly met because of what they had to eat for dinner? Most likely not. As for c, sure you could do that but again that is not going to help you remember them specifically. As you will find in your textbook whether you are taking the PF college or high school elective... it states very clearly that you should jot down a few memorable things from that conversation with that person on the back of their business card. This should be short details describing things you said you would do for them or it could be other details like physical appearance (example they had a very expensive and rare pet monkey). Basically these are any details that will trigger remembering that person, meeting them, what your conversation was about by associating small details to them.
