Take business cards. A neat and charming business card is a memorable thing, and more to the point, it’s a very practical way of maintaining contacts beyond the events you attend.

Don’t forget your business cards – I meet quite a few PAs who still don’t have these, make a business case and approach your boss and get some ordered. If you are not sure of what to talk about then ask questions and listen and learn. Remember if you don’t ask you don’t get. You are worth it!

Make sure that you take professional business cards with you to the networking event. Cheap and nasty cards reflect badly on your business. You are there to learn and make great connections. Don’t pretend to be someone or something that you are not. People will appreciate you being genuine with them.
