The Common Problem With Communication Is The Illusion That It Was Successful.

No doubt you know people that want everyone to like them. Is that what you want too?

A few simple phrases that work like magic:

Bond, James Bond

Repeating your own name (it can be your first or your last name, depending on which one you’d want people to remember) when introducing yourself makes the person you’re talking to remember it better.


I’ve heard good things about you

Everyone enjoys being well-known, even if only in a small group of people. By making someone know that others like them, it makes that someone like you back. Also, it will make them curious: ‘what good things?’

I’m looking forward to it

If you have another appointment with someone, whether it’s a business lunch or family reunion, by saying that you look forward to it you’re giving the impression that it’s more than just a routine appointment.

We have something in common

Nothing gives a better connection than having something in common. The same car, the same favourite restaurant or love for a certain kind of music.

Good phrases to use while socialising!
