1. Think yourself as the "host." Have a warm smile, shake hands and introduce yourself. You will attract more people if you have a friendly demeanor.

3. Be interested in other people. Be curious and find out how you can help each other.

4. Get names and contact information of people you meet. Exchange business cards.

5. Be willing to receive help and give help. When you help people, you are more likely to be remembered.
