I'm always pleasantly surprised when I come across someone's Top Ten Networking Tips list that includes tips I hadn't seen before. Richard Mueller, a Minneapolis-based graphic designer, posted his networking tips list recently. Here's a quick summary:

  1. Big groups are always better
  2. Drag singles along
  3. Don't dance with the one you brung
  4. Nicotine Networking for nonsmokers
  5. Plan fast, eat slowly
  6. Use other peoples' business cards for notes
  7. Organize your business card collection
  8. How to remember names
  9. How to remember faces
  10. Don't drop the ball - use your new contacts
