    My favorite thing to ask someone is ''so what keeps you out of trouble?'' They will generally gravitate to whatever they like most. It could be working out, a sport, their kids or their pet and they will keep talking and talking and its easy to ask deeper dive follow up questions

    1. People don’t know how to say, NOT what to say: You should encourage them to talk about themselves.
    2. A anchor r reveal e encourage
    - Anchor the conversation by connecting it to your mutual shared reality
    - Reveal something about you
    - Encouraging by asking them questions letting them take the lead.

    I’ve been designing homes for wealthy people for years, what he said is so true and a necessary skill. So many of my clients overlook really important aspects of their lives which I’ve learned to tease out and then turn into important parts of their new home design. Get them talking about themselves, their work, hobbies, kids, travel. Let them blather on and try to pick up what they value.

    My clients are business men and women that are often affected by the weather, so we talk about the weather and it’s impact on this year’s products quality or customers count. We often talk about the kids but less so about spouses.
    I recently had a long conversation with a client about his new pickup truck.
    He gave the 25 year old truck he had been driving to his daughter, who is rebuilding a house she bought. My client bought a new pickup to replace it. By new I mean “like new” lease return. It has all the additional features and add ones but the cost was much less than a new one. I don’t think my client would have gotten a new truck except that his daughter need one and his wife was complaining she didn’t feel safe in the old one when she had to drive in the snow at the lake house. My client said the old truck was still perfect for hauling tools and supplies around the vineyards.

    The same goes for talking to anyone. This method was covered a long time ago in the book How to make friends and influence people.
    As a high net individual myself, I can tell you that business owners and entrepreneurs want to talk about their work and achievements. Their work is a huge part of their identity and they've put a lot of time and energy into it. Ask them about the journey that they've been on to get to where they are now and what future plans they have.

      Please don’t do this if you speak to a European. Things like “your great personality” comes across as very phony and slimy in countries like Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark or Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland). Even if you have good intentions it makes you appear as a sales person who doesn’t show genuine interest. You can instead just ask for recommendations. Replace the last sentence with, “Could you recommend any must-visit places in Paris?” Or just remove this part “Based on your great personality.” The rest is fine.

    None of this works if you have nothing in common with the person. The only way to meet people is by doing the same actions or activities as them, thats how they feel flatered, when they see somone they visually like, doing the same things as them. Once you do that, there is no more convincing to be done, the bar lowers automatically and they will accept you. I've been able to fake this to get in, but if you faked it... you wont last in their circles, won't be called again after the second mistake.
