I thought this might be useful for someone attending a major event for their first time, or someone who's starting a job where he would meet many new people. So what can you prepare for networking?
1) Name cards
You'll be surprised even the most experienced networkers forget this.
2) Your objective
It's not really the quantity that counts, but the quality that counts. If you are an entrepreneur, and your objective is to further your business, investors and potential partners should be your top priority. Do not spend too much time talking with insurance agents/ property agents at the event. Leave them for another day.
3) Pen (Optional)
If you are the type who describes your new contact made on the back of his namecard, you might want to remember to bring a pen along with you. I personally think this move is very useful, so you would remember under what situation you met the guy and what did you guys talked about.
