Re: Tips on making/starting small talk?

[(Anonymous)]

It's tough. To be honest, I'm going to be immediately suspicious of anyone in a sales position who starts up a chat because I know it's an upsell technique, and they clearly have an agenda beyond pleasant conversation. Especially if chit chat about the weather gradually segues into, "... so about our 90 day warranty plan..."

It depends on what you're selling, of course, but what I find least bothersome is people who project a general air of sincerity and friendliness without overdoing it and very specifically without referring to any little "extras" I could purchase. I'm an introvert and interactions in general cause me a mild level of anxiety, so I really appreciate it when people do their job quickly, efficiently, without too much of a fuss and let me flee back to my car. I think a good guideline would be to pretend that you're the customer and you're in a hurry. Not a bad emergency kind of hurry, but a slight eagerness to get this over with and go home. What would you want people to say during such a transaction?

The hell if I know. I work in a gift shop, and I'm not really sure why anyone even sets foot in gift shops in general. And I'm an introvert myself, which is why I struggle with this. When I think of myself in the position of a customer, my thoughts run along similar lines of, "You're nice but I don't want to chat", but I also know intellectually that I'm a bit of a minority in that respect - most people (at least statistically) don't mind a bit of chitchat and it is a really good way to subtly sell people more stuff (i.e. if someone comments on how sunny it is compared to their home state/country, great time to offer sunscreen, etc.)

I can sustain and utilize small talk pretty well once I get into it a bit, so I'm fine when I get bored or chatty customers, but given that this gift shop is in an amusement park, they are few and far in-between. It's just starting it in the first place in a way that doesn't sound like an interrogation. (I feel like if I just keep asking questions, it'll come off as creepy, yet I've seen coworkers pull off something similar and I still don't get how they do it).
