Five characteristics for successful engagement:
■ Be real: Talk in a human voice, nurture one-to-on relationships and admit when you make mistakes.

■ Be practical: Use common technologies, such as Slideshare.
■ Be patient: Relationships take time, don’t start asking for favours.
■ Be active: Engage often and regularly. Offer fresh content.
