Key Lessons from How to Talk to Anyone
1. Smile Before You Speak
A warm smile works like magic. It tells people you’re approachable. Smiling also makes you feel more confident. Even on the phone, smiling changes your tone and makes you sound friendlier.
2. Use Names Like Glue
People love hearing their own names. It sticks in their mind and makes them feel valued. Lowndes suggests using a person’s name early and often in conversation. For example: “Nice to meet you, Sarah. So, Sarah, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?”
3. Lean In to Show Interest
Body language speaks louder than words. When someone is talking, lean in slightly. Nod occasionally. These small gestures show you’re listening. They also make the other person feel respected and heard.
4. Ask Open-Ended Questions
Closed questions lead to dead-end answers. Instead of asking, “Do you like your job?” try, “What’s the most exciting part of your job?” Open-ended questions keep the conversation flowing and give the other person a chance to shine.
5. Be the Last to Hang Up or Walk Away
This trick is genius. When you’re saying goodbye, be the last to hang up the phone or walk away. It leaves the other person with a positive final impression. They’ll remember you as confident and considerate.
6. Mirror Their Behavior
Subtly copy the other person’s body language, tone, or pace of speech. Mirroring builds rapport without them even realizing it. Just don’t overdo it—keep it natural.
7. Handle Awkward Moments Gracefully
Everyone blanks on names sometimes. If it happens, admit it with humor. Say, “I’m so sorry—I’ve got three names swirling in my head right now. Can you remind me yours?” People appreciate honesty and a little self-deprecation.
