Might it come across like one of these?
The Brain-Dumper
You say hi, and then they launch into a rapid stream of facts about themselves and what they do. They praise you for being a good listener while you ask yourself if they even got your name.
The Jumbled Mess
You start chatting and quickly lose the ability to keep track of all the things they’re saying. You find yourself trying desperately to fit them into some tentative logical order for confirmation later. (If there ever is a later.)
The Social Clone
You finally get into a one-on-one conversation with someone who seems really interesting. Then you find out that everything they have to say is bland, unobjectionable, and same-y.
The Press Release
It’s like, you’re looking at a human, you want to be talking to a human, but they won’t play along. It’s like they’re possessed by the voice of the automated phone menu of a big bank or insurance company.
The Commitment-Phobic Friend
The best conversation of the bunch — and the most frustrating. They’re all, “I should totally have you over sometime…”. It just never happens, does it? What are we supposed to do, invite ourselves over to their house?! It’s their house!!
If so (or if you want to see where this is all coming from — or going), check out the new thing I just finished making.
It’s called the Make Your Website Talk guide.
It’s a free five-day email guide to teach you how to make your website talk to your ideal customers (in a language they’ll understand).
Fun at parties,
James
