have used my contacts to help at least two people find new jobs or hook up with potential customers and clients. I have given information to someone for other networking purposes. I go to at least two functions a month where I can meet people in my profession/industry or potential decision-makers. If another person is friendly to me, I find it easy to be friendly back. However, I dont wait to make sure the other person is friendly before Im friendly in return. When someone asks Whats new?, instead of saying Not much, I often talk about something exciting in my life.
