The #1 Way to Turn Contacts into Real Community

The next most important thing about building community in this network is after you learn how to answer the questions in a cheerful and interesting way yourself, maybe start asking some questions. Ooh, tell me the best part of your day today. What did your professional life look like today? Tell me the best manager you've ever had. Tell me the worst interview you've ever conducted. Ask people really specific questions because when you're starting to gather their stories, your network goes from a list of names to an actual community.
