Eye contact and a smile are a great start, followed by your full attention, will usually engage the other person beyond the introduction. A hand-out and follow up contact with information of value are great suggestions to seal the deal. We only have a few seconds to make a connection with a new acquaintance.

There is nothing like being one on one with someone to purvey or discuss your ideas, thoughts, and feelings about a subject. I use to never like networking, but have found it not only essential, but enjoyable. I've even written an article on the subject recently! http://juiceofchampions.com/home/networking-idle-chatter-or-essential-business It is so essential to network in the world we live in today.

I agree with Akemi that networking is so important - and so many people don't "get it." They go to a networking meeting, but seem to be there to sell, rather than network. To me, networking is to genuinely and authentically interact with others, see if there is common ground, and go from there. I agree that being of service is a huge element of network - the karma definitely comes back to us! These are great tips! If I could offer another one: Go and join Toastmasters. If you can speak confidently and articulately (especially when you're on the spot) then networking is ever so much fun. Blessings, Andrea Great article!
