Some
people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with
them and feel as if you have known them half your life.
Here
are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll
help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First
of all, good talkers ask questions.One well-known businesswoman
says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that
morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there
you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions.
Second,
once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point
seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell
what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to
listen carefully and attentively. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take
it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not
just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then,
it's time for you to change the subject.
Finally,
good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you're
saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really
enjoyed meeting you."Let people know what you feel,
and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.
A. You can become a popular
person.
B. It's polite to listen to
others with a smile.
C. These people have
something in common.
D. Real listening at least
means some things.
E. If you want to see that
person again, don't keep it a secret.
F. And how he answers will
let you know how far you can go.
G. Almost anyone, no matter
how shy he is, will answer a question.
