Show interest – if you engage with people and listen to them
they are more likely to want to network with you.
Ask people if you can help them as well as asking people to
help you.
Put people in touch with one another.
Operate informally but be prepared to call formal meetings
when necessary to reach agreement and plan action.
Make an effort to keep in touch with people.
Follow up – check with members of the network on progress
in achieving something, refer back to conversations you
have had, discuss with others how the network might be
developed or extended to increase its effectiveness.
