How to Start Networking

Although networking is important to your profession and even your personal life, many individuals find it difficult to accomplish. Indeed, the prospect of striking up a conversation with someone you don’t know personally at a function or conference might be terrifying for some.
If you know you'll be in a scenario where you'll have the opportunity and a chance to meet new people, it is always a good idea to plan ahead and have a few appropriate topics of conversation in mind so once you are in that place, you will know what to talk about and when.
These subjects or topics don't necessarily have to be only about business; they might even include hobbies or they can be about function also. The main goal is to start a flow of conversation that will lead to more meets and talks in the future. In situations like these, don't forget to bring your business cards with you so you can straightforwardly exchange contact information so that they can contact you in the future.
