been working here?” Introduce yourself and ask them their name.
There you go — you’ve just made a new connection with someone
you interact with on a regular basis.
People at work generally welcome a friendly chat (the exception
being if they’re really busy and there are other people waiting; don’t
hold up the line or keep a waitress from her tables). Their day is
monotonous and half the time they have to help some nimrod who’s
talking on his cell phone and treating them like an automated robot.
A friendly conversation can be a bright spot in their day. As an added
benefit, if you chat with them regularly, you may end up getting better
service. It’s only human nature. People tend to treat people they know
and like better than people they don’t know.
6. Ask questions. Probably the easiest way to get people to start yammering
is to ask questions about them. Most people love to talk about
themselves. But be careful how you employ this. It’s probably not a
good idea to ask a woman you just met where she lives and what time
she comes home. You’ll just freak her out.
7. Be authentic. When talking with strangers, be your best self. There’s
no need to come up with some canned lines that you say to people you
don’t know. When you’re comfortable with yourself, people recognize
that and will instantly become comfortable with you.
