社交是门技术活：6招教你玩转人际网

Your networking efforts will be useless unless you maintain the relationships. Maintaining relationships is easy: make a phone call, send a thank you note, send an interesting article, put someone’s link on your website, remember their birthday etc. Technology makes maintaining relationships as easy as possible, so there is no excuse not to.
如果不维护，你为交际付出的努力将付之流水。维护关系很容易：打个电话，寄一封感谢函，发一篇有趣的文章，在你的网站上加入某人的链接，记住他们的生日等等。科技使社交网络维护简单易行，所以根本没有借口不去维护既有的关系网。

5. Give back
回馈

“Successful networking is never about simply getting what you want. It’s about getting what you want and making sure that people who are important to you get what they want, too.”
成功的社交网络绝不是简单的索取，而是取你所需，并确保对你重要的人也各取所需。

No one likes to constantly give, give, give, without receiving anything in return. Networking is so effective due to the premise, what can we do for each other.
没有人愿意一味的付出而得不到任何回报。社交网络的有效性的前提，就是我们能为对方做什么。

6. Don’t worry if you lose touch
不要担心失去联系

Losing touch with a contact is by no means the end of the relationship. Simply send an email, or call them, and say that you want to rekindle the relationship. However, it is wise not to call them out of the blue just to ask for a favour. First successfully rekindle the relationship and then naturally ask for the favour you want.Of course, the best way to not lose touch is to always work at maintaining your network.
与朋友失去联系决不是关系的结束。发封邮件，或拨个电话告诉他们你希望再续前缘。然而在心情不好时打电话求助是不明智的。首先要成功地与朋友再次连线，接下来再顺理成章地请求朋友给予帮助。当然，不失去联系的最好方法是经常性地维护你的社交网络。
