On a semi-related note, I read this anecdote somewhere about Barry Diller (billionaire CEO of IAC, major media mogul). Apparently through much of his career, he would start every day making a phone call for a minute or two to ten people on his contact list. Just a quick "hey, haven't talked in a while, just wanted to check in." Then when he called people for favors, it was much less out of the blue and a much greater likelihood of them helping him out.

One of my real estate investment books advocates this also.
