I’m naturally quite shy and a little awkward and incredibly scatty!
I prefer to listen more than talk, so have became quite good at asking questions that get people to open up.
People will talk for hours about their passion.
Most of my clients are business owners, so when I ask what industry they are in they go into depth about what they do.
Another question I ask if it’s their first time, if it is I ask if they have been thinking about it for. While... this usually leads into them discussing their reasons for doing it, what they are looking for, and a bit of background about themselves.
Sports is another one (I’m quite athletic) so when clients give me a compllimrnt about my figure I ask them if they are into sport... opens up a discussion about fitness etc
Then I talk about food mmmm I love food!
I just try to be a little bit silly, like if it’s morning I will offer them the option of wine.
Ask them if they are looking for something “special” today with a cheeky smile.
I quite often join them in the shower as an ice breaker.
If they are really shy and awkward then I ramble on trying to fill in the silence (and trying to be funny) and if I’m still not getting anything back I give them the most passionate kiss ever and tell them what a good kisser they are.
