To be polite: You may not feel like chatting with anyone at a party, but it is rude to just sit in a corner by yourself. After someone introduces you to another person, you do not know anything about them, so in order to show a polite interest in getting to know them better, you have to start with some small talk. 3. To break an uncomfortable silence (break the ice);4. Small talk, big payoff: They say talk is cheap, but chatting up strangers you meet on business trips is sometimes profitable.It was for medical equipment salesman Douglas Ruby. Last November, Ruby struck up a conversation with Rod Ferrand, a seatmate on his flight who turned out to be in a similar line of work. At the flights end, Ruby and Ferrand exchanged business cards and parted.It wasnt until June, when Ruby was laid off and looking for work, that he dug up Ferrands card and mailed him his resume. Coincidentally, Ferrands company, Merit Medical Systems, had an opening. Ruby got the job, beating out 150 other applicants.Dont be scared of talking to strangers, says Ruby of New Orleans. That guy I met on the plane is now my boss. 6. Make friends;7. Tactics (Strategy) in a negotiation. GOODBYE * *
