Networking:  Developing and using contacts made in business for purposes beyond the reason for the initial contact.  For example, a sale representative may ask a customer for names of others who may be interested in his product (Entrepreneur website)

Business networking is a socioeconomic activity by which groups of like-minded businesspeople recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities. A business network is a type of social network whose reason for existing is business activity. (Wikipedia discussion)

How to Network Successfully (Google search for tips)

-- David Nelson

Tips to consider:  

• -- Bring plenty of business cards (or flyers) to exchange, if available.  

• -- On receipt of each business card, consider writing date of contact on the reverse (to keep the card meaningful, if kept)

• -- Soon after meeting, jot a note or two, on back of card, to jog memory about the new contact, later (to keep the card even more meaningful, if kept)

• -- Have a single regular place to accumulate cards, unless a better system is available to you.
