Meeting New people

http://successwithcorey.com/
     OK I thought long and hard about what to write first. You all know what its like to have writers block. I decided to start with "how to meet new people". Now I always hear people who say there is a proper technique. I have yet to find it. But what I do, which works wonderfully, is I compliment someone whom I may want to talk to for business or personal reasons. I don't just go complimenting ANYONE. I look at it this way, its my life and I can have who I want in it so I talk to who I want. Meaning I'm not going to talk to EVERYONE, just people whom I may see to fit what I want in my life.

     How I determine that is I look at people's faces and if they are bubbly and happy most of the time than YES I want them in my life. But if someone is blank faced and down, I probably don't want to be the target for their negativity so I avoid them. People do have their bad days so don't judge everyone by this. Anyhow..... I'll use someone whom I met in Walmart one day. They are always happy at 2 am and I asked them, "Why are you always so happy?" They told me, "Everyday above ground is a great day!" I was amazed by the attitude of this older gentleman. I gave him some information and he joined my business. Now he is 74 years old so he could have been all down and negative but he was more jovial than most of the young workers. He truly looked like he lived his life to the fullest.

     Now if you want to approach a cute girl or guy first of all DON'T BE SHY. You can start by talking to them as if they were a normal person, which they are, and compliment them. Say you like something about them. Something you truly like about them such as their hair, the clothes they wear, or something else you may like. If things work out well you will know. If they don't then take it from me when I say it probably wont work so you should just move on.

     This is just the beginning stages when you first meet someone. You can continue this and things will be wonderful. You will meet greater and greater people the more you do this. That is one thing I find amazing. I've met some pretty amazing people ranging from billionaires all the way to people who know more information than anyone I have ever met. Now if there is anything I missed that you would like to see me comment on please leave a comment and I will definitely try to shed my light on the topic.

Kali said...

You're definitely right. And I'm pretty sure you made me read this so I can become a more positive and motivated person. I SHOULD be more of a go-getter, and for you, Corey, I promise to use some of your techniques in my every-day life to push myself further :]

Small Talk Kid said...

In response to you all. Thank you. Having your words really helps me in a way that you may never know. In direct response to kali. Don't promise me that you will use the techniques. Promise yourself because YOU are the one that has to live with you for the rest of your life. Not me. Promise yourself that when you decide to make a change you WILL make a change.

Kali said...

I promise :D

Compliments are mistaken for words that fill large voids in the insecure lives of weak people... I like how you pointed out how false that really is. Compliments are meant for anybody. Compliments aren't meant to mold a person's total personality, but they are crucial to the frequent uplifting of spirits in every day life. Not meant to fix problems, but to give problems hope. Not meant to build friendships, but to be the ice breaker that starts it. And strong people need compliments too. I've ran into people afraid to compliment. They say it creates a "big head" and they wont do it. I wish they'd read your post.

The whole reason why you're such a valuable source of insight is BECAUSE you don't need a "proper technique" to engage with new people.

EVERYONE (at least everyone who is worth knowing) has SOMETHING special about them that is unique and all their own. It comes across a bit "corporate" when discussed in terms of branding, keywords, and other such web based marketing topics of content distribution, sure.

However, it's NOT meant to be taken as something constrictive, hokey, or "biz-oppish." It's simply a means toward growth, connection, and shared interests that allows someone to create a web personality based on bits and pieces of "profile" to grab the attention and interest of new business connections.

The big picture is that all of the platforms available to share, showcase, list, and connect your "bits of personality" make it easier for people to find your other content gems (be it video, links, groups, or whatever).

You've got a complete and authoritative handle on the whole "science" of meeting and engaging new people. This is something that so many people out there, in the Internet marketing industry as a whole, have fear and stress over.

It's YOUR GIFT!

You've embraced it well. It's o.k. to write outside your "main topic," of course, but it's a starting point and something you're able to discuss with passion, unique insight, and personal experience.

Social media "marketing" is all about sharing stories, learning experiences, and personal takes on anything you're doing in your business.

Great job! Keep up the passion and conversation starters, you're a natural social participant.
