3. Try to speak last

Let me let you on a little secret when networking. It is always wise to speak last, let the prospect speak first. I cannot stress this enough and most people do not realize how important this is but usually, people are preoccupied with what they’re going to say when you’re done talking so it is always best to listen and then speak.
