Do | Don't |
Get prepared:
- Who will be at the event?
- What kind of event is it?
- What is your goal? | Try to talk with everyone at an event:
- It is not only about handing out as much business cards as possible |
Invest in the future:
- Networking pays off after time | Reach out to the person via e-mail afterwards:
- the inbox is always full - use social media! |
Get in touch with old friends
- Easy entrance to a greater network | Be the only one who benefits from the relationship:
- Within a trusted relationship it's always taking and giving |
