What is the best way to introduce yourself to new people?

In a relaxed, friendly way, tell them your name and ask for theirs. Then, with a smile, say that you’re happy to meet them.

If they seem receptive, ask them something about themselves – like where they’re from. Make it easy for them to talk and encourage conversation by keeping topics easy and of mutual interest.

Hooooowdy hhoooeeee

Start with a firm handshake and say “Eric Stratton, Rush chairman, damned glad to meet ya”

Ask about their family. Works 95% of the time. Happy cake day by the way!

Try to relate to them. There’s no use becoming friends with people with no shared interests, find out what they enjoy.
