		<description>Thanks for stopping by, Jos, and for your insight.  Often when networking, we try so hard to &quot;sell&quot; ourselves and our products and we forget that its true purpose is to get to know people and how you can help and build value to them and their business.</description>

		<description>Maria, I really liked what you said about scraping the pitch in favor of natural conversation.  Someone once told me that if you want to take the &quot;work&quot; out of networking, all you need to do is focus on the other person and helping them get what they need to succeed.  In the process, you build a relationship, as opposed to only achieving a 1 time favor.</description>

		<description>Nice list, thanks. One more thing in that spirit is to let people finish their thought; don&#039;t interrupt them.</description>
