1. Do build relationships. Do not sell.
2. Do bring lots of business cards. Do not give your business card out,
unless someone asks you for it.
3. Networking is not an avenue for dating.
4. Keep the conversations professionaland short, book a follow up
meeting if the conversation goes well. While you may find extreme
value in talking to one person,you are preventing that personfrom
networking with others, which was why they showed up, just like you
did.
5. Do be a good conversationalist. Ask open ended questions, be
curious about the person you are talking to, not just their company
and what they do.
6. Dress professionallyand conductyourself accordingly. First
impressions matter, and you never know who is watching you, who
has not gotten a chance to talk to you yet.
7. Do not get drunk at networking events.
8. Do help the wall flower out, networking is not a natural skill for many,
and can be intimidating. Be warm and welcoming.If you're the wall
flower, be brave. You are only going to get better by getting out
there.
9. Networking has two parts. The event itself and the follow up. Both
are important. Do follow up on all connections made.
