@alistairSH is right about taking time for chitchat. I think of it as an investment in a relationship, like any other. Be interested in the other people and what they're passionate about in their lives. Share some of yourself as well. Sending an occasional article or image the other person might be specifically interested in takes very little time, but if it's of quality and a great fit for them it's a nice building block.
