Episode notes
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.
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?"
Shared Responsibility
- Networking is a two-way street; both participants share responsibility.
- Closed questions can be more polite than open questions, encouraging further discussion.
