6.       People are the name of the game — you must understand how to read people quickly and find what you have in common. #ExpandCapacity

7.       You are more likely to get a response from someone if you have already found a shared interest in advance of introducing yourself.
8.       Find a Mutual Connection. #ExpandCapacity
9.       Be Specific. #ExpandCapacity
10.   CEOs are busy people and therefore are unlikely to respond to vague requests or take on the burden of finding ways to help you.
11.   Help them to help you by making a specific request. #ExpandCapacity
12.   For instance, I met my boss, submitted a brief one-page proposal him in which I asked for an internship and offered to work for free.
13.   You cannot let high-profile executives think for you.…It is better to give them something tangible to consider... #ExpandCapacity

25.   For example, if you are a student and you are contacting an alumnus, I might write 'Current Obafemi Awolowo University Student Inquiry,'
26.   Stay in Touch and Give Back. #ExpandCapacity
27.   An easy way to keep in touch with those in your network is to send them emails now and then... #ExpandCapacity
28.   ...introducing them to people who will be helpful additions to their networks. #ExpandCapacity
29.   respond when others seek to add you to their circles. #ExpandCapacity
