1 Regular Check-Ins

Consistency is vital when nurturing professional relationships. Regular check-ins signal that you value the connection beyond immediate needs. This doesn't mean you need to meet for coffee weekly; even a brief email or message to touch base and share updates can keep the relationship warm. Remember birthdays, work anniversaries, or congratulate them on professional achievements. These small gestures show attentiveness and genuine interest in their well-being and success, which can strengthen the bond between you.

In my experience this is mostly about adding value to your network. I know a lot of folks that only reach out to me when they need something (either from me or my network). Rather than that, try connecting folks in your network before they ask. - If you know someone is interested in a different role send them updates on openings that are related to their field. - Repost when you see something valuable! - Ask folks on a regular how they are doing and if there is anything they need. These small steps go a long way to gluing together your contacts and network overall.

2 Offer Value

To maintain strong professional relationships, focus on being a valuable contact yourself. Share articles, reports, or information you believe will be beneficial to them. If you come across an opportunity that aligns with their goals, pass it along. By being a resource, you position yourself as someone who's not just interested in what you can gain, but also in what you can contribute. This reciprocal approach lays the foundation for a relationship built on mutual benefit and respect.

Understand what value you can offer and what value your professional contacts seek, to ensure alignment. You can't offer resources you don't have, so start by being honest with yourself!

Offer your perspectives or analysis on current trends or developments that could impact their work or industry. If you come across networking events, conferences, or seminars that align with their professional goals or interests, share the information with them :)

3 Personal Touch

While professionalism is crucial, don't be afraid to add a personal touch to your interactions. People are more likely to remember and engage with someone who shows personality. Share personal anecdotes relevant to your discussions or common interests. This establishes a more profound connection, making your interactions memorable and ensuring that your contacts think of you not just as a professional acquaintance but as a person they know and trust.

Nurturing professional relationships requires authenticity, empathy, and thoughtful gestures that are personalized to the person you’re building a relationship with. Be genuine in your interactions, showing interest in their work and personal life not for a strategic motive but because you care. If you’re online, take note of significant social media announcements, like promotions or milestones within the family like birth of a baby or the purchase of a new home, and celebrate with personalized gifts. I’ve always been a fan of creating memories at every opportunity, and by investing in these relationships, you'll build a robust professional community that sees the value in your relationship which benefits everyone involved.

4 Stay Active Online

In the digital age, an online presence can significantly enhance your ability to maintain professional relationships. Engage with your contacts on social media by liking, commenting, and sharing their content. This keeps you visible in their network and shows that you're active and engaged in your industry. Additionally, regularly updating your own profiles with relevant content can provide talking points and keep your contacts informed about what you're up to.

5 Respect Boundaries

Understanding and respecting professional boundaries is crucial for maintaining strong relationships. Be mindful of how frequently you reach out and the nature of your requests. Avoid overwhelming your contacts with demands or putting them in uncomfortable positions. A respectful approach ensures that your interactions are positive and welcomed, reinforcing the trust and rapport you've built over time.

6 Follow Through

Lastly, always follow through on promises and commitments. If you agree to make an introduction or provide assistance, do so in a timely manner. This demonstrates reliability and integrity, which are cornerstones of any strong relationship. Your contacts will appreciate your dependability and are more likely to reciprocate when you're in need of support or resources. Following through cements your reputation as a trustworthy professional.
