Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! 
Akhir-akhir ini saya sangat sibuk, jadi hanya punya sedikit waktu untuk membuat podcast. Maaf ya! 
Oh iya, hari sabtu akhir minggu lalu, saya pergi dengan teman saya ke museum kereta. Saya mendapat tiket cuma-cuma dari teman saya itu. “Cuma-cuma” artinya “gratis”, “free”, atau di Bahasa Jepang artinya “無料”. Wah, saya senang banget! Kami sangat menikmati hari itu. Kami juga makan di restoran yang terkenal dengan cumi-cumi goreng! Haha… “Cumi-cumi” adalah “イカ” di Bahasa Jepang, dan “squid” di Bahasa Inggris. Hari itu sangat menyenangkan! Tiket cuma-cuma dan makan cumi-cumi! Lain kali saya mau makan cumi-cumi cuma-cuma! Kalian bisa mengerti artinya? Haha…. Ok, hari ini sampai di sini ya, dadah! 


Akhir minggu

Building Rapport

Ask Open-Ended Questions:  Ditch the "yes or no" questions.  Instead, ask questions that prompt elaboration and showcase your genuine interest in the other person's work and experiences. Examples include: "What are you currently working on that excites you the most?" or "What challenges are you facing in your industry?"

Actively Listen and Respond:  Pay close attention to their answers.  Nod, use verbal affirmations like "interesting" or "I see," and ask follow-up questions that demonstrate you're truly engaged.

Find Common Ground:  Look for shared interests, experiences, or industry knowledge. This creates a sense of connection and makes conversation flow more naturally. Mention a mutual colleague, a recent industry trend, or a shared alma mater (if appropriate).

Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker:  Networking is a two-way street. Offer your own insights, share relevant resources, or connect them with someone in your network who might be of value.

Remember Names and Details:  People appreciate being remembered.  Make a conscious effort to memorize names and revisit key points mentioned during the conversation.

Embrace Storytelling:  Weave relatable anecdotes or personal experiences into your conversation to illustrate your points and create a more memorable interaction.

Be Authentic and Positive:   People connect with genuine personalities.   Be yourself, showcase your enthusiasm, and maintain a positive outlook

Follow Up:  Don't let the connection fade. Send a personalized email within 24 hours thanking them for the conversation and mentioning a specific detail you discussed.

Nurture the Relationship:  Stay connected on LinkedIn, send them relevant articles, or offer congratulations on their achievements. This demonstrates your continued interest and builds a stronger bond.
