They love it when they get compliments on what good handshakes they have as little boys and young men.

But before that I remember my high school english teacher commenting about how a new student had a firm handshake and looked him confidently in the eye. I noted what an impression it made on him and vowed to pay attention to my own handshake in the future.<BR/><BR/>Another good tip. Always wear your name badge on your right side when at a networking event. As someone shakes your right hand their eye will naturally fall on your name. If you say your name aloud while they are reading it, they should (in theory) be able to remember it more easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
