BEING CONNECTED: getting things done, you need to      have a starting hand, that is, you need to have something in touch (being      connected). This is the first thing that needs to be done before any other      thing comes in, greetings.


Hi or Hello

How are you

Hey



People have not known greeting a person you have not seen for a long time

· Its been a while

· Its been too long

· Its been ages

· What’s new?

· It’s always a pleasure to see you.

By this greeting, your target will be more responsible and directing to start-up a conversation.
Give a compliment and tie it to a question.

· That a nice hairstyle, would you mind showing where you go it?

· I like your dress code, do you mind sharing the idea?

· Apart from this, you can look around the environment and derive your question from it, for instance: the weather, people moved, and the kind of activity taking place around, even the buildings as well.
Now there is a connection between you and your      target. After dropping a question, you have to be an active listener.

NOTE:

· Don’t forget, to listen to others you must develop interest in them.

· Look into their eyes and drop a smile, if you don’t they while:

i. You are ignoring them or what they are saying.

ii. You are untrustworthy.

iii. You don’t like the look of them or you are not interested in what they are talking about.
Focusing, by having eye contact and stay calm. The      ability to stay calm in a social environment regardless of what skills you      have, if you anxious you not different with a start-up person, you start      with a mistake and end up loosing all you want or planed. Even though you      nervous don’t show it, put a smile to kill it and always relax or you will      run out of words. How to control      your emotions.
Meeting some one for the first time, don’t fed the      person with all you got what will you say the next time you meet, ask      questions like:

i. Do you live down the street?

ii. Where do you school?

iii. Where are you heading to?
