An important way in which people build and maintain networks is through face-to- face meetings.

Business travelers love sharing tips and tricks for surviving life on the road. As a business traveler, very little is worse than being stuck in an endless security line at an airport. But there are ways to survive: make sure you and your luggage is prepped to go through screening, keep your technology to a minimum and try to get an upgrade so you can at least avoid part of the hassle.
