In business it is very important to connect with people when you first meet them. You should try to "build bridges" or find something in common. One of the ways you can do this is by asking them questions about their family, occupation, recreational activities and/or what motivates them in life. A simple way to remember these conversation topics is to think of the word F.O.R.M.
F = FamilyO = Occupation
R = Recreational activities
M = Motivation in life
Using conversation topics like these, you are apt to find something that you have in common. Once you determine what you have in common, you've just made yourself more memorable to that new person. You can comment on your commonality when you follow-up with them which will help you strengthen your bridge or connection with them.
Here's to your success,
