Be memorable so that other people will be able to remember and refer.

• _{What?s new in your world? What?s novel? How will people remember you?}
• _{What type of customers/clients are you looking to build relationships with?}
• _{How could the people around the table help you or your customers/contacts? What are you looking to purchase, what challenges do you have (also think about this from the perspective of your clients)?}
• _{Can you refer the people around the table to others that you know?}
• _{Lunch will be served during the presentations so you will have to eat and listen and talk rather than eat!}
