8 Keys to Better Networking

Think of everyone you know

When you decide to build up your list of networking contacts, reach out to everyone you know. Go to your immediate and extended family, friends of the family, religious community, volunteer connections, old college friends or clubs, past employers, and anyone you deal with on a daily basis. Remember that kindness and courtesy go a long way here. Always say please and thank you and reciprocate if a contact asks for your help in return. People will remember you if you are thoughtful and polite.
