# 87: Make a Networking Goal

Do you set a goal for networking? If not you should. Deciding to have a relevant conversation with ten people in a two hour event is an achievable goal. Spend most of your time listening. Immediately after the event, (even in your car) tape down the business cards to a sheet of paper allowing enough room for notes and jot down as much as you can remember about the conversation. Then you can take the notes back to the office and have something meaningful to say in your follow up.
