If they reach out with a role that is not a fit, I recommend you do not just say no, instead ask what led them to consider you and whether you can refer someone who might fit. This gives you real market intelligence and data on how you are positioned. For staying in touch, I suggest once per quarter, with a reason like a relevant news anchor, meaningful update, congratulations, or a referral. No direct action was requested, other than applying these behaviors.
