Business people hand shake
Networking is about developing and maintaining good relationships.  It takes some planning and effort on your part.  Asking the right questions will provide you with an opportunity to get to know a person.  Don’t know what to ask… here are some questions to get you started.  Just remember, you will want to know the answers to these same questions about your own business.     Tell me about your business, what do you do? Who is your ideal client? What is your goal for next year? What is the most unique aspect of what you do? What type of client is your least profitable and why? What is your biggest challenge? What is your biggest accomplishment so far? How can I help you in business and networking? Don’t stop there!  It is good practice to come up with some more questions on your own.  Keep in mind, you want to stand out in the crowd.
