My Top 8 Secrets Of Getting People To Like You
It’s really simple and not rocket science to get people to genuinely like you for who you are. In this post, I will share my top 8 secrets of what it takes to get people to like you. Here are the techniques I use when I meet someone for the first time and therefore after. In no particular order:
- I smile and give them my full undivided attention, I let them speak about themselves first, unless I am asked about my interests. You see, people like talking about themselves and if you just listen wholeheartedly, this will enable them to feel good about themselves and you were the person to listen without interruption.
- When speaking to someone, say their name and look them straight in the eyes and genuinely mean what you are saying with conviction. Don’t look around or get distracted. This will make it seem like you are fake and not meaning what you are saying or disinterested in their company.
- Also, when speaking and starting a conversation I have a tendency of smiling as I speak. This gives the other person self-worth because they feel your enjoying their company.
- Ask them questions about themselves-be inquisitive (curious) This will let them talk more about themselves and their interests. I tend to be an inquisitive person when meeting someone for the first time.
- Find something you like about them physically or mentally and then give a nice compliment and mean it. Be lavish in your praise.
- Try to add value to them in any way you can. It could be by giving them some advice or lending a helping hand with something OR even buying them lunch or dinner. Be generous.
- Be kind and respectful, let them lead the way. When they want to be in charge, let them be the leader.
- Leave them better then when you met them. They will remember how you made them feel. This is very important. We all want to be accepted and appreciated and when we can lift one another up and do it with love….that surpasses them all!
I hope you got value out of my top 8 secrets of getting people to like you. After a while, you will learn to do these naturally. It is when you act upon it with love and expect nothing in return, is when you will attract people to you. Pure love.
