I. Greetings and IntroductionsThose first introductions can be the most difficult thing to
do and sometimes it will be the most important thing to do.
People are making flash judgments every second and every moveyou make is being scrutinized.
With the right introduction, a good personality, and some
confidence, you have the power to cement your good image in
their minds and create an instant bond. There are two main parts
to introduce yourself to someone new. The first part is starting
the conversation; going from standing around awkwardly to
actual interacting with them. The second part consists of what
you say and how you say it.http://www.smallfuel.com
What to say in your first conversation
How you start your conversation, it will depend a lot on what you want from that relationship.
1. Start with their name.Its tempting to start with your own name, but if you know their name itsa really nice touch to address them by it. Once theyve been addressed, then you can throw your
name into the mix.
2. Give yourself a history.If you have a mutual acquaintance, a specific reason for starting theconversation, or anything that gives credit to you, it is good to mention that early on. It lets them
know you arent trying to waste their time. If you dont have any back stor y (at a business card
exchange, for example), then its okay to skip this step. Also, dont speak too much on this keep it
to one or two sentences.
3. Ask questions about them.Ask them about what they do, what they like doing, their history. Askanything thats appropriate to your conversation. In general, people really enjoy talking about
themselves, so the more you let them talk, the more theyre going to like you. One caveat to this,
however; dont subject them to a rapid-fire interrogation! Ask slowly, thoughtful questions, and
then give them a chance to talk for a while. A little down-time can actually be a good thing for a
conversation.
4. Listen carefully, and respond.You may have noticed that the best conversationalists rememberall sorts of little details about you and bring them up when the time is right. Your goal in asking
questions isnt just to make them feel good about themselves, but also to learn as much about
them as you can. Be a good listener, and youll remember a whole lot more of the conver sation.
Once youve fully processed what they said (again, its okay to pause and think), you can respond
with something thoughtful.
5.
Answer their questions.Once they start asking you questions, its time to give them moreinformation about yourself and your company. This is also when you can give them your small
businesssmarketing message. Be careful not to speak for too long, though, its never a good idea
to entirely dominate the conversation.
At this point, youll probably have been speaking for at least a few minutes and will be well on your
way to building avaluable relationship. Its still good to remember some of the basics, though,
especially about listening and paying attention to what they say. Good luck with your conversations,
and feel free to start one in the comments section.
