Hi there,
In conversation, Listening and try to understand the other person is important.
You should start with a "Hi or Hello".
Next_
You ask the other person "How was your day?" instead of the "How are doing? or what's up?" like everybody else in the world.... so be different from other people.
Then_
If the other person reply you with "I had a bad day."
You response "I'm sorry to hear that....what's happen?" or another question would be "what did you do?"
If the other person reply you with "I had a great day"
You response "good, what did you do?"
--------
Learn to shut up and listen, then ask a few direct and specific question...
Don't ever use the "How are you doing? or "what's up?" they are so general and become dead end when you start them.
Be specific like "How was your weekend?" "How was your Christmas Holiday?"
"How was your class?" "How was your school work?" "What is your major?" "who gave the inspiration to take that kind of subject?" "what do you really like about it?"
When you ask specific question, the other feel that you care, you like, and you want to know about specific things. In conversation, you need to listen to the story of the other person first, before you share your story. Learn to be specific and direct... you will be surprise those questions help you in conversation.
Also in dealing with people on the job is the same thing....be specific and direct....your question will be answer. your request will get result...
Best Regards,
Johnny
