How to make people like you in 5 easy steps
OK, ok... I realize most of the stuff you read on the internet is about "How to make a million dollars" or "How to increase your Google page rank" but I want to tell you about something that is far more important in the real world.... how to get people to like you! Specifically, how can you make a good impression with somebody when you meet them in person. Most of the following might be considered common sense but as we have learned, sense these days isn't so common. Keep in mind.... results may vary. :) 1. Make Eye contact. People feel uncomfortable when they meet somebody and that person doesn't have the respect to look them in the eye. 2. Smile! This is a biggy, a simple smile can go a long way in making somebody like you. Obviously your smile shouldn't be an evil grin, but a friendly, comforting smile - deep down inside most people are neighborly and a smile is something that everyone can relate to. 3. When they tell you their name repeat their name back to them in a friendly way.
- "Hi I'm Gary"
- "Nice to meet you Gary, I'm Bill"
This accomplishes two very important things: A. It lets them know that you were listening to them and... B. It will help you remember their name. 4. LISTEN TO THEM and INTERACT WITH THEM! (this is the most important step of all!) When they make conversation with you ask them specific questions about what they just told you. People love to be listened to. Listening is the most important thing you can do when interacting with other people. Some people only use conversation as a vehicle to talk about themselves but if you use conversation as a vehicle to talk about the person you are talking to they will instantly feel this conversation was meaningful. If they happen to ask you questions about yourself keep your answers brief, people don't want to hear every detail, after all they are just making conversation like you are. 5. When parting ways repeat steps 1 and 2. Make eye contact and smile and it wouldn't hurt to try and throw in their name when saying goodbye. "Nice meeting you Gary". Generally speaking these 5 things can go a long way in making a person feel comfortable when you meet them. If they feel comfortable meeting you they will most likely feel comfortable around you in the future. And that could mean a new business deal, a new resource, or just a new friend! |
