❇️ Sweet talking tips

♦️ Give Respect
Give respect to everyone. Sometimes, a simple smile from you can make the entire day of someone. Never forget to thank the liftman when he opens the lift for you, or your chauffeur, when he opens the door of your car. Give a bright smile to your colleagues as well as the others around you. You would start feeling the change from the next day itself. When you are happy, the world will also be happy for you. Moreover, when you respect someone, you are in least danger of hurting him/her and there is the score for you. So, stick to this motto and see the world changing around you.

♦️ Be Sympathetic
We, as human beings, are given the power of understanding and if we don't integrate it in our life, how can we expect to justify our humane side. Everyone wants sympathy, especially when he/she has gone through a really bad phase in life. Don't you love it when your friend sympathizes with your grilling schedule at work? So, don't be a miser for words and let people know that you care.

♦️ Humor Mechanism
Everyone likes funny people. Integrate humor in your life and try to search the sunny - side up in everything. You would soon find the ultimate secret of being happy. Tell jokes, poke harmless fun, and see the gloomy mood changing in an instant. However, refrain from sarcasm, as only a few of us can really pull it off without hurting someone's feeling. Stick to light humor instead.

♦️ Be Confident
For sweet talking, being sympathetic alone is not enough. You also need confidence. Don't let yourself be cast out as too mellow or pushover, as the world will start using you then. Be a confident and levelheaded person, who knows what he/she is doing. Make sure the world knows it too. Don't give anyone a chance to take advantage of you or typecasting you a patsy or a softy.

♦️ Flirt A Little
A little flattery never hurts! Be the first one to notice the positive change in a person and compliment on it. For instance, if your colleague is donning a new shirt, don't forget to shower an admiring compliment on him/her. Congratulate your colleagues on successfully finishing a project. A little flirting with your client can help seal your success. However, never ever give a cheap remark or go over the top in flattery.

♦️ Be Spontaneous
Whenever you say something, make sure that it doesn't look like a prepared speech or something well thought of (in advance). It should come out in a spontaneous manner, giving a genuine appearance to your words. If you are a serious person, who doesn't talk much, it's time for you to open up. You can practice with your friends and family members and then employ it elsewhere too.
