How to compliment someone
Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
Most compliments are so forgettable that people can't even remember them an hour later. Here's how you're going to give them one that they'll remember for years. This works in sales, dating, networking, family, anything. The best part, it's almost impossible for them not to remember you after. So for example, a regular compliment like nice shirt. It's fine, but it's lazy. It's like saying, hey, I noticed you exist. Instead say this, that shirt makes it look like you should be the one running the company. Or that presentation made it feel like you were doing this for 20 years. The key is, you're not just noticing something, you're telling them the effect that it has. And here's the real kicker. We'll get to It's right. You'll lock in their memory forever. Tag it with the story. John, that shirt makes it look like you own the room. Remind me of this Ted talk that I listen to one time. Your smile looks like you should be a dentist, reminds me of this one actress I saw. I'm willing to bet money on the fact that the compliments that you remember are the ones that someone did all of these things and tagged it with a story and told you you reminded them of blank. Don't just compliment the thing, compliment the impact and then tag it with the story. That's how you're going to stand out.
