Communication through physical touch

Even though not everyone enjoys being touched, if they do, you can communicate with them more successfully.

By lightly touching the elbows, you can tell if a new acquaintance enjoys physical contact.

You should respect someone's personal space if they don't enjoy physical contact; you can still communicate without it.

Show your value

Show your value

If you don't show your value you will be overlooked and underrated, try this:

  • Use braggin modesty to show your value, casual mention all your interesting things.
  • Don't be afraid to tell a fascinating story about what you did, but be careful not to overdo it. See the facial reaction of the person if they are listening to you or just waiting for you to finish so they can talk; it is a way to measure if you are bragging too much.
  • Just give a bussines card when the other person ask for it, or only give it when there is a reason to do so.

Exit strategy

If you want to meet as many people as possible, don't spend the entire day talking to just one person. Before you leave a conversation, you can do the following two things.

  • Say goodbye.ย Don't lie about going to the bathroom; instead, stop asking questions and wait for the conversation to end so you can say goodbye.
  • Exchange contact information. Don't forget about it. Make sure you can contact this new acquaintance a day before the event.
