- Start by talking about family, heritage, genealogy, and occupation to break the ice.
- Mention recreation and hobbies to find common interests and topics to discuss.
- End the conversation by conveying a clear message of what you can offer or what you want to achieve.
- You never know when a lucrative opportunity might be just around the corner.
