  1. Don’t be Shy • First rule of networking is to not just sit on the sidelines. • Being an introvert will not help.  • Do not shy away if you have to take lead to get a conversation going.  • You just need to get out of your comfort zone first.  • Don’t be a wallflower and stick to one corner of the room. • Instead, introduce yourself to as many new people in the room as you can.

  2. Do not Hard Sell • It is better to warm up first rather than straight away jumping to sell your product or service.  • While networking, one must remember to first get comfortable with the new connections and this may take time.  • It is better to wait rather than jump the gun.

  3. Never run out of Business Cards  • Always ensure that you are stuffed with enough business cards before getting into any networking event. • One thing that turns off is when people say that they just gave out their last card. • It is important to load yourself with enough cards before stepping out for networking.

  4. Follow Up • Networking is a continuous process.  • It has to be followed up but politely.  • Post the ritual of exchanging cards and numbers, it is best to catch over a mail after a couple of days. • A follow up is part of networking. • In fact, a hand written note with a polite message is the best follow-up.

  5. Stay away your Cell Phone • Focus is very important while networking.  • Distractions at your end may leave the new contact with a bad impression.  • Mobile phones should be kept on silent at these times.  • Constantly checking you phone when interacting with someone is not only rude but also makes it look like you are not interested in what the other person is saying.
