Every day we have to communicate with different people and, quite often, make new acquaintances. There are some simple yet ingenious ways to please almost anyone.
Instructions
Step 1
When meeting, allow yourself to deliberately make a small mistake in something. This may be a slight slip of the tongue in the name of a sports team or its composition, in a mathematical formula or the name of a famous person, it all depends on your imagination and the competence of the interlocutor, as well as on the situation in which you have to communicate. This step allows you to achieve several goals at once.
First, your interlocutor begins to feel a little more confident as he corrects you. Secondly, as a consequence of the first point, your interlocutor allows himself to communicate with you more freely. Thirdly, realizing that you are imperfect, the interlocutor allows you to make mistakes when communicating with you and yourself.
Step 2
Refer to the person by their first name, and try using a third-person compliment. The fact is that compliments on behalf of the interlocutor standing in front of you can seem intrusive or embarrassing when you are praised, and you have nothing to answer, because you were not ready for this. A compliment from a third person, in which you kind of convey it to your interlocutor, often works much more efficiently.
Step 3
Talk about topics of interest to your interlocutor and find a reason to sincerely sympathize with him. With this recommendation, we kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, people love when they share their views and worldview, are interested in the same things as themselves. Secondly, sympathy for an occasion that is appropriate at a particular time will once again emphasize your attentiveness in the conversation and sincere interest in the interlocutor.
Step 4
Be an attentive listener: listen more than you speak. Firstly, you will be able to get to know the interlocutor better, his preferences and desires, which means that it will be easier for you to find common points of contact and topics of interest to both. Secondly, by encouraging people to talk about themselves, you once again emphasize your interest in their person, and who of you doesn't like being interested in you?
Step 5
Smile often and ask for a small favor. Positive people attract others, because it is much more pleasant not only to communicate with them, but even to be close. Speaking of favors, it should be noted that people who are able to help others grow in their own eyes. Well, who will this pleasant emotion be associated with after “helping your neighbor”? Of course with you!
Step 6
Try to copy the pose of the other person. The same posture is a non-verbal signal for your interlocutor: "I am the same as you, in the same mood and with the same thoughts in my head."
