When approaching
people for the first time with the aim of talking to them about business, these
are some of the things that should be put into consideration.
1. Don't approach
people aimlessly. Have a purpose for the meeting.
2. Set priority of
what to discuss in the meeting.
3. Remove anxiety,
just do it; put on boldness and get out there for the meeting.
4. Smile and be
friendly; a friendly smile puts the other person at ease.
5. Eye-to-eye contact
is essential. Look the person directly in the eyes.
5. Greet and seek
first to listen; it will help you to achieve a safe starting point for your
conversation.
6. Focus on the other
person. Asking interesting things about them gives you a good image before
them.
7. If you are meeting
for business purposes, have some business cards with you. Give out the business
cards and wait for response.
8. Get help from your
friends who have confidence in meeting people.
9. Like any skill,
socializing takes practice. Keep doing it, and you will get better at it.
10. Finally,
participate in public speaking programs so as to continue to boost your morale.
It is never too late to start all over. If you are not happy
with yesterday, try something different today. Do better. Good Luck!
