Question

You’ve been introduced to Amy at a local business and professional women’s meeting. After you’ve chatted with her for a few minutes what can you do to find out if she will be a valuable new business contact?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

After few minutes of chatting with Amy, I can either directly ask her about her views regarding the future business or can assess her through her hints in the talks or meeting with other people. I personally feel that asking directly about the future business plans to a first time acquaintance is not appropriate. Though we are in a local business and professional meeting, but we should talk general in the first meeting, and assess if there is a room to continue our chat regarding business in the future. The best thing is to start the talk generally and assess her through her gestures and hints that she might give during your chat with her on general business topics. If she starts talking to you about her plans, you can easily assess that whether she will be a valuable business contact or not.

Answer 2

In order for you to find out if Amy will be a valuable new business contact, you need to ask her questions about her business and tell her what you need.
