ADVICE

Breaking the Ice

  • Start networking with a shared experience, like commenting on the coffee or the weather.
  • This removes tension and opens the conversation naturally.
ADVICE

Keeping the Conversation Going

  • After breaking the ice, use tag questions like "Impressive room, isn't it?" to keep the conversation flowing.
  • Ask closed questions like: "Is this your first time here?" or "How do you know Rob?"
INSIGHT

Shared Responsibility

  • Networking is a two-way street; both participants share responsibility.
  • Closed questions can be more polite than open questions, encouraging further discussion.
