How can we be a better conversationalist？The key is to be an attention-giver rather than an attention-getter.? ? ? 1? ? . Here are some ways to help you.

Use Peoples Names More

We are more likely to be in tune with others when they say our name.? ? ? 2? ? . In conversation， you can use this to your advantage by asking for their name， and then dropping their name occasionally throughout the conversation later on.

B. Repeat The Last Three Words

C. This gets them to talk about things they like， as youre being receptive about this similarity.

D. Talking about ourselves creates the same sensation of pleasure in the brain as food or money.

F. This means you begin to concentrate more on the person youre speaking with， and on meeting their needs instead of your own.

G. The ability to remember someones name has been linked to people being more likely to help you， more likely to buy from you.
