The Touch Menu

Vary your touchpoints: share articles, congratulate achievements, ask advice, or send a brief voice message. Keep the first message light — 'Saw this and thought of you' reopens a relationship faster than a favor ask. It signals attention, not extraction.

Different people prefer different channels. Some love calls; others prefer DMs; a few only read email. Match your touch to their communication style — a voice note to a texter feels warm; to an email-only contact, intrusive.
