If you are shy or find yourself having trouble talking to people you have just met, be sure and read this week’s Achieve-IT! newsletter Wednesday. In it, I will be answering an Achieve-IT! reader’s question about making small talk:
Question: "I am a shy person who just started in sales. One of my problems is I
have a difficult time making small talk with people. Getting to know
people a little bit would help me in sales. Can you give some tips on
making small talk with people?"
I will be answering her question and giving some simple tips anyone can use to start a conversation with anyone, anytime, anyplace….

When does the newsletter get sent out? I’ve subscribed around a week ago, and I have not yet received an issue.
Tim,
It will go out tomorrow (Wednesday.) If you don’t get it let me know and I’ll fix whatever is blocking it.
Thanks for reading!
Am I missing something in the newsletter? I was looking forward to the “small talk” article, and my newletter mentions only a way to lose 50 lbs. (Not that I don’t need to do that, too!)
No, that is the introductory issue you may get the current one tomorrow. Let me know.
Sorry for the confusion.
Ok, All is well. I got the “small talk” issue tonight. I’m very impressed with the newsletter, and it was worth the wait! Keep up the good work!
My Pleasure. I am glad it arrived on time but more importantly you liked the content.
Great newsletter this time around.
I was just reading an article about how this can have many more benefits than just being able to talk to people. If you can just talk to your customers about something they have an interest in, you not only build a relationship with them and further your business, but sometimes it can have hidden benefits.
A guy cites an example of how he was chatting with a customer about Memorial Day plans, and he garnered an invite to the guy’s empty vacation home for the weekend!!!
You keep mentioning your newsletter. I don’t get it, why don’t you just post your content on the blog?
Tressor, good question. There are many reasons. for one, it is more focused on specific goal setting methods that make more sense in newsletter format than blog posts. This question is a good subject for a blog post
