Control Your How You Feel
First impressions count and that means you must present yourself at your very best in the opening minutes when you approach someone to initiate a new conversation. How you feel will be silently communicated in your approach, body language and tone.
Small Talk With A Purpose.
Ask them about them. Dont begin talking about you. What most people dont realize is its a rare event that someone asks about you and the other person really listens without interjecting before youve had a chance to finish your thought.
Make Em Feel Good.
Approach new people with the goal that you will look for ways to talk to them about what interests them, put their needs before your own. View conversations with new people as an opportunity to serve
Be Careful With Your Compliments.
Now there is nothing wrong with complimenting but if its personal like I like your hair sometimes that can be too personal unless you know the person pretty well. A compliment can feel artificial especially depending on what you say next.
Know Like And Trust Factor.
As a consumer you dont buy from people they dont know, you dont buy from people you dont like and you certainly dont buy from people you dont trust. And the same can be said for your potential clients. So how do they get to know, like and trust you? Communicate with authenticity. The fastest way to the KLT faster is with eye contact and a smile.
