First, introduce yourself:
•. “Hello, my name is Peter Browns.”
•. “Hey, how are you? I’m Mary.”
•. “My name’s Peter. What’s yours?”
Next, give a little info about yourself or
break the ice:
•. “That’s a great tie. Where did you get it?”
•. “I’m originally from New York, but I just
moved here a week ago. Are you from
around here?”
•. “Say, where’s the best place to grab
some hamburgers?”
Listen to their response, and keep the conversation
going:
•. “Oh, you got that tie from Lotus ?
They’ve really improved their stores lately.”
•. “So you’re originally from England. Do you ski?”
•. “Burger King’s hamburger eh? What’s your
favorite dish there?”
Close the conversation:
•. “It has been a pleasure meeting you. I look
forward to seeing you again.”
•. “Sounds like you know a lot about this city.
Maybe you could show me around sometime?”
•. “Well, if you’re ever having hamburger, let me
know and we can go to lunch.”
