Opening a conversation is one thing but keeping it going without boring is another thing. Asking people’s opinion and then linking to others’ statement/opinion is one technique or strategy you can keep the conversation interesting and lively. In that way, the other person does not want to leave you quickly.
The technique will go like this:
Example 1:
You mentioned about the advantages of Facebook before then you link “I’ve got a friend in the business who uses Facebook as a market place” – Finally, you ask “would you like me to show you about his Facebook market place?”
Example 2:
You mentioned about the selfie post on the Instagram before then you link “My photographer friend once told me that a picture should be …..” – Finally, you ask “Would you like me to provide you some suggestions on how to take a great selfie?
