Technique #1 The Flooding Smile

The first technique is to make sure you don’t flash an immediate smile whenever you greet
someone. Instead look at the person for a good second or two, pause, soak in their persona and
then let a big, warm responsive smile flood over your face, and overflow in your eyes. Think of how a
good comedian will build up to a punch line for a joke.

#2 Sticky Eyes
Next pretend your eyes are glued to your conversation partner. Don’t break eye contact even if he
or she has finished speaking. If you have to look away, do it slowly. But as a side note: Liel warns the
men to lower the intensity level when using this on other men.

#3 Epoxy Eyes
Now in a group setting, watch your target person even when someone else is talking. If this is too
intense, then keep your eyes on the speaker, but every time the speaker finishes a point, let your
glance bounce to your target. This technique makes your target feel like you care about his or her
reaction.

Technique #4 How to Look Like a Big Winner Wherever you Go

#4 Hang by Your teeth


Next is about posture. Every time you walk through a doorway, picture an iron-jaw bit hanging from
the frame, just slightly above your head and imagine taking a bite out of it. This should help you
straighten your posture. Practice this in your home throughout the day.

#5 The Big-Baby Pivot #6 Hello Best friend

For the next technique, consider giving a warm smile, your full attention and the total-body turn to
everyone you meet, as if a cute baby just crawled up to your feet. Or similarly imagine the person is
like your old best friend who you haven’t seen in ages.

#7 Limit the Fidget


Number 7 is about not fidgeting and keeping hand motions below your head. Many believe that one
of the big reasons that Richard Nixon lost to John F Kennedy in the 1960 presidential elections, is
because he kept fidgeting, and mopping his eye brows on live television

#8 Read People Like you have ESP


Technique 8 is about making it a habit to pay attention to the littles things. Are they smiling? Looking
away? Rubbing their neck? Is there feet pointing towards the door? You don’t have to be a body
language expert to pick up on what they maybe thinking

#9 Watch the Scene Before you the Make the Scene


Next, relax and practice visualizing yourself walking around Hung by your teeth, shaking hands,
smiling, and treating people like you're meeting a long lost best friend
#10 Match people’s mood

Next remember to Match people’s mood and tone of voice first, even if they’re upset or depressed.
Enter people’s world before bringing them to yours.

#11 Don’t stress about the first word


The 11th is understanding that your first impression has little to do with your actual words. Just
remember to avoid starting conversations with a complaint or something negative

#12 Wear or carry something unusual, could be small, that strangers will feel compelled to stop you
and ask you what is that?

#13 Next, ask a friend, the host of the party, or anyone who knows your target, about some facts,
and then use those as an ice breaker
“So I heard you’re a famous magician where you’re from"

#14 But if you don’t know any who can give you some facts, then try eaves dropping. “Excuse me, I
couldn’t help but overhear that you’re a dancer”

#15 Never the Naked City #16 Never the Naked Job
When someone asks you the inevitable, “Where are you from? [Chef] Or what do you do? [What do
you do?]” Never give one word answers and try to have it relate to the person you’re talking to.
Research some interesting facts on the internet. ”I’m an attorney from Toronto, a city with over 8000
restaurants.” [Talking to a chef] “Right now I’m involved in a case where a company actually
discharged a woman for taking extra maternity leave, that was a medical necessity.

#17 Never the Naked Introduction


Now the same rules apply when you’re introducing people to one another. Just remember if you’re
uncomfortable mentioning someone’s job, then mention their hobby or some accomplishment.

#18 Be a word Detective

Next, when in a conversation, pay attention to word clues that hint to your target's preferred topic.
Then when possible, start talking about that topic. Some people might seem shy, quiet or bored, but
talk about a topic they like and they might not shut up

#19 The Swivelling spotlight


The next one was inspired by Brian Tracy. He says to picture a Spotlight. In sales if the spotlight is
focusing on the product it’s not interesting to the prospect. But if the spotlight is focussed on the
prospect, they make the sale. So when it comes to people. let the conversation and spotlight be
mainly focused on them.

#20 Parroting
The next technique can help you never be left speechless again, by simply repeating the last few
words your conversation partner says and turning it into a question. This puts the ball back on their
court.
“Guess what? I just started playing Pokemon Go.”
“Pokemon Go?"

#21 Encore
The word, Encore which the audience sometimes shouts at the end of a good performance, means
they want another one.
So recall a good story someone in a group setting with you has told you. And then tell the group,
“Tell them about the time you… got struck by lightning and survived” This shines the spotlight on
them by requesting a repeat performance.

#22 Save your Skeletons for later


When first meeting someone, avoid any stories about yourself that would potentially be looked down
upon. Later in the relationship, telling a new friend that you got caught steeling or have been married
3 times will probably be no big deal.

#23 The Latest News… Don’t Leave Home Without It

Next, If you’re ever afraid of going to some social event cuz you’ll have nothing to say. Then simply
go watch or read about the latest news.

#24 What Do You DO-Not!

The 24th is about never asking people the question“What do you?” Some people are just not proud
of what they do for a living, like a tax collector for example. Instead ask, “How do you spend most of
your time?” If they’re workaholics, they’ll happily tell you what they do anyways

#25 The Nutshell Resume

But if someone asks what you do? ask yourself how your profession can help this persons life. So
for example, don’t just say real you’re 'Estate agent' say “I help people moving into our area find the
right home"

#26 Your Personal Thesaurus

Next get a thesaurus, look up common words you use every day, and start finding permanent
replacements. For example. many women have been called pretty, beautiful, cute or hot enough
times in their lives. Stand out and say something like, “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you look
ravishing"

#27 Kill the Quick “Me Too"


Next is killing the Quick “Me Too.” Often times, when we find something in common with someone,
we often want to immediately say “Me Too!” But Leil says to let the person keep talking, and just
keep asking questions, while hinting you’re knowledgeable about the topic for a while. When you
finally do tell them, they might be shocked.” Then you can just flatter them by saying something like,
“I was just enjoying hearing you talk, I was afraid you’d stop if I told you." This creates a much bigger
impact.

#28 Comm-YOU-nication
As much as possible, incorporate the word YOU in your sentences. Instead of asking, where’s the
closest restaurant, ask
Can you tell me where’s the closet restaurant?

Interestingly Therapists calculate that inmates of mental institutions say “I” and “Me” twelve times
more often than residents of the outside world

#29 The Exclusive Smile


Next, Don’t flash everyone with the same smile. When meeting groups of people, give a distinct
smile to each person. And if one Person in the group
is more important to you than others, then reserve an especially big, special smile, perhaps using
the one from Technique #1

#30 Don’t touch a cliche with a ten foot pole


Never use cliches of any kind like, I’m as quiet as a mouse.

#31 Use Jawsmith’s Jive

Instead follow technique #31 and consider just slightly changing the one’s you already know. For
example switch when pig’s fly to, when monkey’s live on clouds. or as quiet as a mouse to, as quiet
as an eel swimming in oil. Instead of “sure as Death and taxes." Try “as certain as beach traffic in
July”.
