Keep in mind that networking is about being genuine and authentic, building trust and relationships, and seeing how you can help others.
Lead by example - pass on contacts, newspaper clippings, etc. that you think might be of interest to someone else in your network.
Make sure you put in a follow up call/email after you have passed a contact along see how it went.

- Don't misconstrue networking to be a sales plan.
- Don't be blinded by goals, only guided by them.
- Don't be quick to make judgements about people you meet, today's tin could be tomorrows gold.
- Don't hand out your business cards willy nilly to people you haven't had a conversation with, you will look pushy, desperate or (horrors!) both.
