Make them feel important</li> <li>Bring energy to the conversation and smile.</li> <li>Be a good listener. People enjoy talking about themselves and sharing about their lives</li> <li>Remember what they say, the names of their family members and the stories they tell.</li> <li>Call them by name. This is especially important for people you don’t see too often. It means a lot when they hear their name, and will trigger in their mind the need to remember you.</li> </ul> <h3>For more professional advice, check out our <i><a href="https://www.wehnered.com/product/how-to-exce"></a></i> </h3>
