Six Ways to Make People Like You....

Read this in a book a while back. I picked it up because I thought it was kinda funny and would be interesting. Just found the notes I had taken... Helpful things for us to keep in mind.

Talk in terms of the other person's interest. 6. Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely. Can't we all just get along? :) Have fun!
