Stranger danger? Get over it! Marketing your A|E|C services means talking to people. Yes, even (especially) people you don’t know. Do you shy away from social interaction and conversation because it can be unpredictable? Have you ever met someone and couldn’t start or keep a conversation going? When this happens, do you retreat in silence, missing an opportunity to engage with interesting people?
Conversation should be fun and enjoyable, not planned or forced. It has to flow. This means agendas and scripts are out the window; spontaneity and flow are the most important elements. To be a good conversationalist, you don’t have to be charming or funny. You need to observe, listen, be present, react, and adapt.
