#2: Zig Ziglar
Also, (In the fields of observation) chance favors only the prepared mind. Louis Pasteur (27 December 1822 28 September 1895)
Most people hitchhike through life. Having an agenda puts you in the DRIVERS SEAT.
The more ready you are to share and beneift antoeher person the EASIER it is to, ask, see, for your own goals.
I met with Derek Bullen a number of years ago, asking if they needed a contract recruiter, and he called me in to meet me. He asked me a lot of questions, and turned it over him me, to ask him any questions that I wanted. I did. I asked a number of business level questions. He kept it complete two way street in the relationship.

#3: You can usually find someone not attached to a group
To join a group, use body language that says you are committed to that group
Perhaps just touch a person on the shoulder and the group will open up
Show the commitment by making contacgt with the speaker or smile at one of the listeners.
Take a few seconds to get what is going on.
When the conversation slows, you can introduce yourelf to the next person. Often members of the group will initiate introductions.
If you are uncomfortable are you remembering High School or Junior High?
ENERING A ROOM
Enter A ROOM in an upbeat way and a smile. If you enter with a serious forboding look, no one will talk to you.
That way yo urelate to space also send s signal

I like to pause between my names.
Your introduction says more aobut how you feel more than anythnig else.
Have you ever gotten a sour reception? That ONLY says something about how THEY are feeling. Its his problem.
Ask for a card - Pause over it
FORGOTTEN NAMES?
Confess it early:
We met at ____ and talked about ___ Tell me your name.
Or get them to say it.
