The helpful book "Make Your Contacts Count," by Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon, lists 20 networking turnoffs. Among them:
¿ Giving too many details, such as actually answering the question, "How are you?" Stick to brief and relevant high points.
¿ Seeking free advice. It's not only doctors and lawyers who find this annoying.
¿ Interrupting, whining and mistaking contacts for friends.
