I have a customer facing job, and interact with thousands of people every day, many of them attractive females. I’ve yet to come up with a sure fire way to number close while still trying to be professional. Any ideas? It’s kind of a slippery slope. I wouldn’t ever think my job would be at risk but keeping it discreet is essential, and giving them my info never works.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
