I believe the answer is:

networker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'social businessman' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'went out alternatively with king and queen' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'alternatively' becomes 'or'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'king and queen' becomes 'ker' (K for King and ER for Elizabeth Regina).
'went' with letters rearranged gives 'netw'.
'netw'+'or'+'ker'='NETWORKER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for networker that I've seen before include "who uses his contacts?" , "Fisherman, perhaps" , "One good at making and using contacts" , "One employed at home" , "One with many useful contacts" .)
