Keep Your Network Active
11 years, 4 months ago - December 28, 2012
Creating a broad and productive network is an accomplishment. But the work doesn’t stop there. To sustain the connections you’ve made, you need to nurture those relationships. Here are three ways to keep in regular contact:
- Share information. If you know someone is interested in a certain subject, find a good article or podcast that applies and forward it to her.
- Be a bridge. Act as a link between two members of your network who share an interest but wouldn’t normally connect with each other.
- Make a human connection. Send e-mails saying, “Thanks,” “Congratulations,” “I’m sorry for you,” or whatever is appropriate and genuine. Small, human touches are important.
