硅谷社交王教你实用人脉术

Most people try to escalate a relationship too quickly. Trust is built slowly, over time. Good relationships are built little by little, and there are no shortcuts, so do not try to push the relationship to progress faster than is natural.

大部分人会想要快速提升彼此的关系。信任是慢慢建立的。良好的关系是一点点建成的，而且没有捷径，所以不要拔苗助长。

Because relationships are progressions, follow-ups are important. It’s okay to follow up by email, but keep in mind that the other person’s inbox is probably swamped, so s/he may not respond even if s/he reads the email. It’s okay to email again even if you have not heard back. Over time, every interaction contributes to a deeper relationship, even when there isn’t always a response.

由于关系是有一个过程的，跟进就显得非常重要。可以通过邮箱交流，但是记住对方的邮箱可能爆满，因此他可能不会回复甚至阅读邮件。如果一直没有回复，可以再写一份邮件。随着时间推移，即使对方没有回应，每一次的联系也都能让关系更进一步。

How do you manage such a large network and not lose touch?

你如何管理你的人脉而且保证与他们都有联系？

You’re not going to be able to check in with everyone all the time. So prioritize the people you’d most like to be influenced by, and look for special opportunities to reconnect with them regularly — not just birthdays and anniversaries but whenever you learn a piece of information, find a job listing, or make a connection that could be relevant to them.
