Episode notes
Swap 'How Are You' For Tactical Prompts
- Ask specific, tactical open questions instead of generic "How are you?" prompts to elicit real answers.
- Use prompts like "What did you do on Saturday night?" or "What have you got planned for the weekend?" to start richer conversation.
Make Chit-Chat Part Of The Process
- Build a five-to-seven minute chit-chat ritual at the start of meetings to humanize conversations and build trust.
- Use that time to collect personal details you can reference later and strengthen credibility.
Carry A Networking Question Bank
- Prepare low-stakes, informal questions for networking events to avoid awkward exchanges and spark connection.
- Try prompts like "What would you be doing if you weren't here right now?" or "What are you binging right now?"
