 ### Don't overcomplicate the art of networking, it's simple, if you understand what is involved.

- “Before going out to network, make sure you have a strong brand. Set yourself apart.”
- “What’s your budget? How much time do you have? Is the event for you? Questions to ask before attending an event.”
- “Networking Strategy That Works: Choose 3 events. Be a memorable brand. Meet contacts for coffee. Follow up.”
- “Social media is not the be all, end all. Get out there and interact in-person with the people you chat with on SM.”
- “Social media partners well with traditional networking. Connect with your contacts. Research your contacts. Be seen.”
