What is that magic quality makes some people instantly loved and respected? Everyone wants to be their friend (or, if single, their lover!) In business, they rise swiftly to the top of the corporate ladder. What is their "Midas touch?"
What it boils down to is a more skillful way of dealing with people.
The author has spent her career teaching people how to communicate for success. In her book How to Talk to Anyone (Contemporary Books, October 2003) Lowndes offers 92 easy and effective sure-fire success techniques-- she takes the reader from first meeting all the way up to sophisticated techniques used by the big winners in life. In this information-packed book you’ll find:
In her trademark entertaining and straight-shooting style, Leil gives the techniques catchy names so you'll remember them when you really need them, including: "Rubberneck the Room," "Be a Copyclass," "Come Hither Hands," “Bare Their Hot Button,” “The Great Scorecard in the Sky," and "Play the Tombstone Game,” for big success in your social life, romance, and business.
How to Talk to Anyone, which is an update of her popular book, Talking the Winner's Way (see the 5-star reviews of the latter) is based on solid research about techniques that work!
By the way, don't confuse How to Talk to Anyone with one of Leil's previous books, How to Talk to Anybody About Anything. This one is completely different!

Communication is a superpower. Compiling my favourite tricks from the book.
You can fine-tune your smile!
Don't flash an immediate smile when you greet someone, instead look at the other person's face for a second. Pause. Soak in their persona and then let a warm smile hug your face. The split-second delay convinces people that your smile is genuine and ONLY FOR THEM.

You can come across as intelligent and insightful by deliberate eye-contact.
When you meet someone new, make sure your eyes are glued to the conversation partner's eyes. Don't immediately break eye contact after they've finished talking. Make them feel they have captivated you.
Epoxy eyes is often used when you want to understand reactions as a third-person. Watch your target person even when someone else is talking. It puts you in the position of a judge/evaluator, don't overdo it though. The major benefit is that your target thinks you are interested in him/her.

In 1936, one of Dale Carnegie's six musts in HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE was SMILE!
Don't flash an immediate smile when you greet someone, as though anyone who walked into your line of sight would be the beneficiary. Instead, look at the person's face for a second. Pause. Soak in their persona. Then let a big, warm, responsive smile flood over your face and overflow into eyes. It will engulf the recipient like a warm wave. The split-second delay convinces people your flooding smile is genuine and only for them. ☺️

Your eyes are personal granades that have the power to detonate people's emotion.
Pretend your eyes are glued to your Conversation Partner's with sticky warm toffee. Don't break eye contact even after he or she has finished speaking. When you must look away, do it ever so slowly, reluctantly, stretching the gooey toffee untill the tiny string finally breaks.

This brazen technique packs a powerful punch. Watch your target person even when someone is talking. No matter who is speaking, keep looking at the man or woman you want to impact.
Sometimes using Epoxy Eyes is too potent, so here is a gentler, yet effective, form: Watch the speaker but let your glance bounce to target each time the speaker finishes a point. This way Mr or Ms Target still feels you are intrigued by his or her reactions, yet there is relief from the intensity.

Warm Sloth Smile
Conditional Eye Contact
Melted Taffy Last Look.
To give you just a little insight, I'll explain them with as less words possible.
Warm sloth smile is basically an asset. It gives a richer personality catchet. When you smile make sure it erupts a second later and with full intensity.
Conditional eye contact, is basically weighing a few aspects before a full on intense eye contact. Like gender, relationship, etc.
Melted taffy last look is when you turn your face/eyes away from the person only because you have to.
Check out our website to go into more depth! Cause this has word limit.

Let's talk about how we're giving very minimal attention to the features of our face.
Ready?
Well, everyone of us always focus on the nose but we always forget that we can't really do anything about how it looks. Instead, by correctly using the eyes and mouth, we can change lives. Both us and the other person, lucky enough to come in contact with us.

Think Of Small Talk Like Music
When communicating with someone you don't know, it's important to match their mood and focus on making them feel comfortable. Instead of worrying about the specific words or information being shared, show empathy and actively engage in their story. The most important factor is the positive feeling they have while talking to you, not the details of the conversation.
People may forget what you say, but they will always remember how you made them feel. So focus on creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere during small talk.
