Some people are great communicators and can talk to absolutely anyone, and some suck at it. I'm the latter. I'm trying to get better.
Here are a few tips that I wrote down so far from asking the 'natural' communicators and searching the forum:
- While the other person is still talking, already start thinking about what you're going to say next.
- If the person has kids, ask about them.
- Ask the other party questions and get them to talk about themselves.
- Use the person's name as much as possible (from how to make friends and influence people).
I've used them all and had moderate success. But not knowing what to say next still happens to me and is not the best feeling in the world. Are there anymore tricks like above?
(I realize that practice is paramount in achieving this but I'm trying to make that practice more productive.)
