2. Listen more than talk
3. Ask more than tell
4. Give more than ask
5. Maintain good eye contact
6. Don't mix networking, marketing and selling
7. Finesse really pays off - don't come on too strong
8. Make other people feel comfortable
9. Ask if this is a good time for a brief chat when following up
10. Thank people for their effort on your behalf

International)
