    None So Blind as Those Who do Not Ask
    Nothing is likely to frustrate me as much in conversation as people who assume they know what I am feeling or thinking and what I value when they do not know me or do not ask me any questions to find out.When I observe assumptions being made in business I get just as frustrated.Selling is a fertile field of assumption making.

    Have you ever “gotten stuck” with someone?

    You want to move on and meet other people, and you have no idea how to do so politely. It appears that the other person would also like to network with others, and, she, too, fidgets nervously rather than ending the conversation.

    You’re not alone. Many people are so concerned with starting a conversation that they give no thought to extricating themselves. In fact, most workshops deal with creating a Verbal Business Card followed by your elevator pitch and give little thought to ending what you may have successfully started.

    Be Upbeat

    Your last words are as important as your first words. Plan and rehearse (if necessary) exit statements. Since at least 90 percent of your message is communicated through your body language and vocal tone, rate, pitch and inflection, keep an “open” stance and sound upbeat. You can easily tell the difference between people who say, “It was nice meeting you,” and you think, “Yeah, sure” vs. those who sincerely say, “It was nice meeting you.”

    When to do it

    · After about 10 minutes
    · When the other person’s eyes noticeably begin wandering around the room, i.e., the “lounge stare”
    · When others shift their stance toward other people in the room or toward the door
    · When the conversation lags
    · When the other person repeatedly answers in a monotone with nothing words like “interesting,” “hmmm,” “really.”
