The quickest way of winning over a new person is to send them a clear message that you are for real. One way of doing this is to promise to do something for them and then exceed their expectations with how you follow through on your promise. For example, if you promise to get this person some information, get it to them before they expect it. This sends a clear message that you have their best interests in mind which tells them that you’re the kind of person they want to become more involved with. – RossReck.com
