Before attending a business networking event prepare and rehearse a 30-60 second business commercial (introduction) and professional-looking marketing materials. At the very least you want to take plenty of business cards to exchange. Finally, adopt the attitude of giving to receive. When the event is over, plan a follow up strategy to continue networking with the people you meet. Remember, you are building relationships to build your business.
