I met her and we immediately created instant rapport. We started discussing football, dabbled into politics, fashion, personal philosophies and finally internet.
All of a sudden, she started falling in love with my person just like i was with hers too. Just that she was the first to acknowledge that verbally.She asked me 5 questions in 5 minutes and i gave her answers that she expected. Got more interested in me.Asked me whether I was on facebook. Yes was my answer. Asked me if I have a website, i told her about www.geniusplanetnigeria.com
She asked of what i do for a living. I told her that I'm an Internet Business Consultant with GENIUS PLANET which specialises in in Web Design, Personal Branding and Social Media.
The conversation took another direction since i was now doing the asking and she was answering me to my satisfaction. I went personal to ask about her love life but not with the intention to start a relationship anyway. After all, I'm engaged already. She was a bit reserved and gave me tips about her love life. I also asked about her passion and she told me about her next project at hand. If you hear it you will know that she got some stuff in her. Her type is rare to find. I'm not talking about fake NGO here.
She is from a wealthy home; one of the families that are ruling Nigeria but unassuming and humble. She doesn't believe in class discrimination. No wonder she talked with me.
At last, we sealed a deal to build her personal brand online. What else do you expect? Give me your number of course. And I did exactly that. If she hadn't asked, I would have asked her of her number.
My conclusion:
Be personal,interesting and intelligent enough to end every conversation with a stranger who's interesting with this powerful phrase "Give me your number" This is the true test of a fruitful or result oriented conversation.What do you say?
interesting...
