Creating Engaging and Productive Conversations

While starting a conversation with a simple "Hello" is polite, it can leave the other person unsure of how to respond. Following your greeting with a question or a statement not only shows interest but also encourages a productive conversation.

• Start With a Friendly Greeting Begin your message with a warm welcome like "Hi" or "Hello" then immediately ask your question in the same message.
• Be Clear and Concise Clearly state your purpose to avoid confusion.
• Respect Their Time If you’re reaching out during a busy time, be patient for their reply.
• Close Politely End with a courteous remark such as "Thanks" or "Have a good day".
