Hey, I like your shoes

“Hey, I like your shoes.” That is my #1 networking hack.

People love talking about their shoes. How they respond will tell you so many things about them. And their response will open the door for follow up conversation.

Did they pick them for comfort? Style? Is there a story behind that pair? Shoes say something about who we are without us feeling like we have to get too personal.

So if you struggle with connecting with new people, find someone wearing some kicks you like and tell them. 60% of the time, it works every time.

What shoes are you wearing today?
