1. Keep your cards in an attractive card case and handle them carefully. You are giving someone a representation of yourself. It shows you take pride in your profession.

dont pat when you hug

Anything up close looks larger than when it is at a distance. This is true for both experiences and objects.

When you meet someone you know next to nothing about him. With very little effort however you can find out some trivial facts about his day. Questions about someone's last few hours just kick start the conversation. Ask about her day, preferably the past 5 or 6 hours. Visualise as many details as you can and ask about them. As far fetched it might seem to you, she is loving it because she is so close to the experience. Soon the natural flow takes over and one subject leads to another.

Tuning your acquaintance into a friend is a challenge if you don't plan it well.

1. After saying hello, bring up any subject , which you could follow up with another question.(Ex: nearby restaurant, directions , food to buy, etc)
2. Ask for recommendations
3. .Contact for further information
4. After you have been there(say, to the restaurant) call to say thank you for the excellent advice.

The secret is making the follow up contacts. They promote you from a stranger to acquaintance. You are now in a better position to make him or her a friend.

If you think someone will enjoy it, give him a flattering nickname. It makes you memorable and at its very least, gives you both a smile. There is one fundamental schtick statute, however. It must augment the recipient's self esteem.

Does your friend Patrick teach you things? Call him "professor patrick" . Does your friend Stefanie do good thing for people? She is " saint Stefanie".
