\nNetworking Tips

Arrive on time. \;It is easier to start a conversation before everyone has settled into groups.
\nWear your name tag on your right. \;When you shake hands\, it will be in direct line of vision.
\nRemember to circulate. \; To join in a group of people that you don&rsquo\;t know very well\, try saying something as simple as\, &ldquo\;May I join you?&rdquo\; It works.
\nNetworking is about creating relationships. \;Remember to smile\, look people in the eye when you talk to them and use their name.
\nBe prepared. \;If you are asked about your product or service\, you want to be ready to answer with a brief 30 second summary.
\nFollow up. \;Bring business cards so that you can easily exchange contact information and follow up within 48 hours of the event.
