Effortless Networking

Here’s an interesting question from a reader, which may be one that you share too:

“How [do I] impress them instantly, such that they can devote their precious time speaking with me alone, rather than splitting their time amongst those around?”

My response:

Listen to them with your full and undivided attention.

Don’t sell, persuade, advise, talk about yourself, etc.

When you DO talk, ask questions about the other person.

If you really want to impress someone and have them talk with only you, this is all you need to do!

Try it.

Now, here is my question for you:

What will you do with all the information you get from this conversation?

No, I don’t mean to be irritating or annoying! I do however want you to think why you might want to have someone speak with you all evening.
