DO:
- Give before you get
- Stop selling start listening
- Find a buddy to go to networking events with so you can work the room together, it makes it much more comfortable and fun
- Bring plenty of business cards
- Send followup notes to best prospects after the event
DON’T:
- Monopolize people’s time or let them do it to you, chat briefly and exchange info so you can follow up after
- Overshare, let them do most of the talking
- Get into political discussions with people you do not know
