I was talking with my buddy John last week right before he was about to go on a first date. This guy meets a great looking woman at a bar and they totally hit it off. I've seen him in action and with a couple of drinks under his belt he turns into retro Vince Vaughn (think Swingers). The ladies can't keep their hands off him!
When he's sober however, well he tends to get a little self-conscience. I could tell he was concerned, this woman was definitely gonna have high expectations and living up to Prince Charming can be a tall order to fill.
It reminded me of what I think to myself when speaking with important and highly regarded clients.
Ask questions.
Keep the focus on the other person.
People LOVE to talk about themselves. As long as the conversation revolves around them, they will be enjoying every minute.
... and guess who is then associated with those good feelings.
