Everyone wants to make friends, and if you want to make more friends, you need to communicate with more strangers. Therefore, today I will share with you the skills of eloquent communication with strangers. We have compiled tips for communicating with strangers, hoping to help you.
1. Good at interaction
Communicating with strangers is different from communicating with good friends. Therefore, we must be careful not to talk to each other blindly, but to talk to each other, one word and one word.
Be good at using imperative sentences to give the other party the right to speak, such as: "I think this matter..., what do you think?" In this way, the right to speak is naturally given to the other party.
Through the process of interaction, you can understand the other person's views and opinions on certain things and find the next topic.
2. Be good at selling yourself
When communicating with strangers, you must learn to sell yourself.
When the conversation opens up between the two, you can first introduce yourself, what is your name, where you are from, why you came here, where you have worked and studied, and other information about yourself.
In fact, in the process of introducing yourself, the other party will get to know you and compare yourself with yourself. Maybe you will have a buzz with the other party when you introduce yourself, "Ah, let's put it this way. Are we still fellow countrymen (alumni, colleagues)?” You can quickly get closer to each other and find many similar topics.
3. Be good at listening
Ordinary people often encounter the following situations when listening:
1. It is easy to interrupt the other party;
2. Make sounds such as "Yeah..." "Yes..." to acknowledge the other party.
The best way to listen is to be silent at all, without interrupting the other person's speech, looking at the other person, and waiting until the other person stops speaking before expressing your opinion. The more ideal situation is to let the other person keep talking. The more you keep listening, the more control you have.
In the communication process, out of 20% of the speaking time, 80% of the time is spent asking questions.
The simpler the questions you ask, the better. True or false questions are the best. Speak with a comfortable attitude and a gentle tone, which is easier for most people to accept.
4. Pay attention to tone when talking
When communicating with strangers, pay attention to tone and speaking speed. The speaking speed should not be too fast, like a barrage of firecrackers or pouring beans through a bamboo tube; the intonation should not be too high. , nor too low like a mosquito. If you are not a fellow countryman, you should use Mandarin to converse.
Never use profanity in your speech. Every move and conversation must have grace and temperament to give people a good feeling.
5. Don’t touch on private topics
Since you are talking to a stranger, this is your first time communicating. Therefore, the topic of your conversation should be relatively relaxed and should not involve the other person's privacy, such as how much is your monthly salary, are you married, etc.
If these topics inevitably come up during your conversation, you should not ask questions directly. Instead, you should use indirect methods and ask questions tactfully.
6. Don’t point out the other party’s mistakes during communication
The purpose of your communication is not to constantly prove that the other party is wrong.
In life, we often find that many people continue to prove that they are right during the communication process, but they are very unpopular; communication geniuses believe that things do not matter whether they are right or wrong, only whether they are suitable or not suitable for you.
