You can go from making a new acquaintance to having a conversation to getting insights to landing a new client, all in the span of one party. But the first rule of networking? Don’t treat it like networking.

Luckily, Suhel Seth, professional thrower and goer of parties, has it all figured out and lays it down in simple, easy to follow rules.
