Do you often feel your social battery drained out easily after one or two engagements or at a networking session?

Well, I do!

Whether you’re one who easily gets comfortable at social events, or you’re one that always sits at the corner, thinking about how to manoeuvre your next step, there are always ways to navigate the situation. Mr Carnegie’s famously listed 6 principles of social interaction;

  1. Become genuinely interested in people
  2. Smile
  3. Use the other person’s name
  4. Be a good listener
  5. Talk in terms of other people’s interests
  6. Make the other person feel important

As an entrepreneur, you will meet a lot of strangers, new people, and new acquaintances, who might be your potential client, partner, investor and so on. So how exactly do you go about it? Here I am sharing some tips with you, hopefully, it’ll help.

  1. Smile. Your smile will appear through your eyes. It will shine true and gives the right signal to your new friend. However, don’t smile too often that it becomes meaningless.
  2. Be attentive. Even if you’re having small talk and speaking about the most boring and mundane topic.
  3. If you have something in common, let them finish talking about it, before you rush in with your story or point.
  4. Maintain good posture or body language, so that you don’t scare anyone from coming up to you (and vice versa)

Yes, you are selectively social (I get it). But again just try to be open and available, because, at the end of the day, you don’t want to be labelled as ungrateful or rude.
