Networking is not about how many contacts you have; it’s about building genuine relationships with people you care about knowing. How do you follow up with new connections and build the relationship in a non-awkward way?

You already know the basics of leaving a polished first impression, like dressing well, making eye contact, and having a firm handshake. That's great advice, but it's probably not enough.
