5 Tips for Managing Virtual Relationships

  1. Make sure you’re up to speed. Good hardware, software and training are the tools you need to make virtual relationships work.

  2. Structure your workday so information can be easily shared, discussed and exchanged.

  3. Don’t let the technology get in the way. If email technology isn’t working, quickly default to the phone or a letter.

  4. Remember, people do business with people─not machines. Always keep up with your networking contacts.

  5. You’ll need another set of skills when you use nontraditional means to communicate: writing must be concise and thoughts must be closely linked.
