There are no strangers, only unmet friends
Interactions between people start with strangers, and this requires taking the initiative to show favor to others, take the initiative to show favor to an unfamiliar person, and express the desire to associate with them, so that they can be easily accepted by the other party, and will also get friendly expressions from the other party. In this way, the two sides can have the conditions to achieve exchanges and become friends. There was a man who was bored one night, so he wandered along the park road with nothing to do. At this time, an old man in his fifties came up to him and greeted and accosted him cordially and casually.
The friendliness of the other party made him very pleasant at once, and the two of them chatted very speculatively and happily, and it was not until late that the two of them reluctantly said goodbye. Since then, the relationship between the two has been very good, and they have become New Year's friends. In fact, this kind of enviable relationship is formed by taking the initiative to show goodwill. In reality, don't talk about people who are far away, even colleagues around you and people in your neighbors will be indifferent and turn a blind eye. In this situation, how can you make more friends and expand your strong network?
Many people feel very inhibited when talking to strangers when talking about business. I suggest you start by thinking about the question, why don't you find it difficult to talk to an old friend? The reason is simple, because you already know each other very well. People who know each other naturally feel happy and relaxed together. However, they are ignorant of strangers, especially when they enter a group full of strangers, and some people will even feel uncomfortable and fearful. To do this, you must try to turn strangers into old friends, and you must be brave enough to take the first step. The key to taking the first step is to eliminate the fear of facing strangers.
Here is an example of visiting a stranger's house: if possible, you should first get to know the guest and find out some information about the other person, such as his occupation, interests, personality, etc.
When you walk into a stranger's house, you can use your observation to see what is hanging on the wall, Chinese painting, oil painting, or musical instrument? What kind of flowers are raised at home, what handicrafts are placed on the table, etc., these are actually the interests of the owner, and even an object will lead to a story.
If you can use it as a clue, then you can understand a certain aspect of the owner's mind from the shallow to the deep, and when you catch some clues, it is easy to find the opening line.
Of course, maybe you're not just going to meet a stranger, but to a party with a lot of strangers, and even then, observation is essential. You may wish to sit aside, listen and see, and decide who you can approach according to what you know, and once you have chosen, you may wish to step forward and introduce yourself to him, especially for those strangers like you who have no acquaintances in the party, your initiative is obviously very welcome.
When you decide to talk to a stranger, the first thing you need to do is introduce yourself and give them a clue to approach. Of course, you don't necessarily have to introduce your name first, as it may feel a bit abrupt. You may want to talk about your own work unit first, or you can ask the other person's work unit. In general, if you talk about your own situation first, people will tell you some of their situation accordingly.
Next, you can ask questions about him personally, but not secretly. The other party is of a certain age, you can ask where his children are studying, and you can also ask the other party about the general business situation of the unit. After the other party has talked, you should also talk about your own corresponding situation by the way, so as to achieve the purpose of communication.
When dealing with strangers, we should pay more attention to the content of the other person's conversation than to acquaintances, because your understanding of them is very limited, so you should pay more attention to the clues you get. On top of that, you can even figure out the tone of his voice, the way he looks, and the way he answers questions to decide if he can develop in depth.
Of course, you can't just talk to strangers about everything. How to talk to strangers is an art. If you're overly enthusiastic about people, you'll tend to make others think you're profitable, and you'd better avoid giving them that impression. There was once a girl who had just arrived at the company, who was warm and thoughtful to the company's seniors, pouring water and helping to get documents, the girl originally wanted to establish a good relationship with the company's colleagues as soon as possible, but she found that her colleagues seemed to be deliberately avoiding herself. This is because the girl's enthusiasm is excessive, which makes her colleagues think that she has other intentions. For this reason, when you meet a stranger for the first time, you only need to make a good impression on the other person, and never let the other person feel that you are dealing with him for a purpose. If you are peers and the other person is willing to cooperate with you, then it is best to get straight to the point.
