One tool that I have found helpful is to seek the advice of the permanent staff on procedure. The one thing that really turn off staff against consultants is not showing respect for their procedures be it turning on a Data Point on or connecting a new printer to the network.

A good line to use is that you would like to seek the benefit of their wisdom and guidance.

It works like a charm.

Another good phrase when you want something is not request it as of right but ask "what are the chances of .....".

Also take an interest in the personal lives of those around you. Treat them as you would have yourself be treated.
