What do PhD graduates who get jobs in industry do differently in their PhD program than their peers who get academic jobs?

Options post-graduation basically boil down to academia and industry. I personally would like to go into industry. So what traits, experiences, etc do students tend to display during their PhD program that allows them to jump into industry afterwards? Was previous industry experience a factor or had they gone straight from BS to PhD?

Joining a research group that has placed people into industry. Usually the first position for a newly minted graduate is due to getting one's CV in the hiring manager's hand from someone inside of the company. I've seen this time and time again. Otherwise, you're battling extremely poor signal-to-noise ratios.
