People are always searching for new ways to find customers…..

Well, the only way you’ll find them is by talking to more

people.

You need to get out from behind your desk …

and start a conversation.

But people will think you are weird if you just

walk up to them and start talking…

“You’re weird, what’s that about your dog?”

So start by finding something in common, it’s much easier and far

more natural.

Work colleagues will chat

Smokers will chat

Same interest groups will chat

But too many people don’t see the

opportunities all around them because…

they are too busy with other things like…

fiddling with their smartphone …

or are busy plugged in….

to notice who is nearby.

You just never know who you are sat next

to…

on the train …

in the coffee shop …

at the match …

So find some commonality in the

situation and say something like …

“great shot, I’ve not seen you here before, do you come often?”

“boy I’m ready for my latte today”

“Is it a good book?”

Now go out and find someone new to talk to.

Oops, I said talk to ….

each day• Mix your destinations up a little• Find the commonality• And start with Hello
