Before a conversation -
Make it a smile and it signals to the other person you are
pleased to see him/her,
and will
result
in
the smile returned. A simple conversation technique!
The type of greeting depends on the person your having a
conversation with, the circumstances surrounding the conversation
and the relationship between you.
Although a smile or a nod may be enough during conversation,
if the other person expects a handshake, an embrace or maybe
a kiss
on
the cheek before the conversation,
and doesn’t receive one - then you may as well forget
picking up any prizes for this conversation. This is a put-off
before you’ve even begun the conversation.
The issue here is to consider your non-verbal greeting before
you start your conversation. What is the correct way to greet
this person, taking into account the situation, likely conversation
and circumstances? A smile…a nod…a hug…or
perhaps something else? Remember, this is vital, as it will
get the
conversation
going on the right foot.
