Getting out of the building is important. At the same time it should be a thought out process. There are a couple of things that one needs to keep in mind:
1. Have multiple pitches ready for your idea/product. Using one pitch for everyone you meet will end up in getting mixed feedback and a lot of conflicting advice. If you are building something for entrepreneurs but talking to individuals at a large Fortune 500 company chances are you are going to get conflicting advice.
2. Have your elevator pitch, hook and other supporting material ready when you talk to someone. When you pitch someone an idea you have to keep in mind that what seems clearly obvious to you is not so for others. Ease people into what you are wanting to do and you will get better feedback.
