The first meeting with a new person in your network is a sounding-out process. In networking, this first conversation is a critical process. Good networkers do a “quality control” assessment of the people they meet. Be very mindful of that basic networking process and respect the other person’s need to sound you out.

Be aware of selling vs. non-selling time. Selling time is for being in front of a customer. Non-selling time is for prep and paperwork. This is one area where social networks (and the web in general) can be invaluable as a research resource. Educate vs. sell – Establish yourself as the authority.
