   My smile gets me noticed. People are sensitive to a genuine smile and when they meet me they generally want to talk. Then genuine listening lets me understand what their needs are and how I might be able to help.

   @Sandie, LOL, your comment compelled me to comment. Same is the case with me. Whoever meets with me, he/she always says “you gotta nice smile” lol And when I smile people keep watching my face, it’s really gift of God. Thanks for such a nice gift lol

   The ice breaker has got to be appreciation of the person, in context to a personal attribute and then gradually hitting on the key points that I would want to talk about. ALways enter a meeting with pointers, no one likes stories, crisp clear and to the point, but always start with a pleasantry to bring a comfort level in the topic.( The smile is just a means to the end)

   My best tip for standing out is my practice of putting the needs of my clients ahead of the almighty dollar. I often ‘give away’ great information and my clients rave that they’ve learned so much from me. I believe it’s also why my entire client base is built from word of mouth!

   Stephanie! You won a great thread with a great observation and you got the book — congrats!

   I’m a personal chef, and all the time people ask me what I do, exactly. Most are not looking to hire me, but know someone who knows someone, etc. I never take their question as a cue to tell them all about my job, but — smile! — to tell them what I do, exactly, is to arrange for everyone I work for to painlessly lose 10 lbs, right off the bat. It helps that this IS what I do, of course, and I do get hired by people who’ve heard of me this way.
