The Art of a Great Introduction.
I tweeted about generosity the other day. A way to provide without breaking the bank. It was all about making excellent introductions and networking.

Here’s a way to be generous without costing your a penny: be willing to introduce amazing people to each other. It’s powerful, rewarding and free.

You have a few minutes or a few phrases to tell everyone else what you know about the person you are introducing. Now is your chance to treat them with dignity. This is your opportunity to draw attention to important information.

And now is your chance to make them shine.

You see, we’ve all accomplished some amazing things. Each of us have certain unique qualities. When we draw attention to those things for other people, we not only help them feel more confident right now, but we also create the framework for how other people will view them.

When you execute it well, people will pay attention. When done correctly, consumers are engaged and anticipate a good experience.

And you can rapidly ruin the ambiance if you do it incorrectly.

You can even make things more difficult for them, essentially putting them in a hole they’ll have to climb out of.

Doing it Right

So how do you introduce someone right? I think it comes down to three simple things.

First, emphasise what makes each individual special. Don’t merely give someone your name and position while introducing them. That is not going to pique anyone’s interest or prepare them for anything. Make the individual you’re introducing feel special by emphasising one of their distinctive qualities. It will influence the way that people hear them.

Second, highlight their achievements. Everyone enjoys having a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, it can aid in the discovery of common ground, which makes the person you are introducing feel more intimately connected to them right away.

Thirdly, explain why it’s important to meet this individual. You can help someone concentrate on what’s important by concluding an introduction with what they can anticipate from this person when they interact with them or listen to them.

What To Do When You Meet Someone

This is my main recommendation. The next time you meet someone, stay in conversation with them until you discover something very fascinating about them. In this manner, you’ll constantly be prepared to introduce them to someone else in a fantastic method.
