How Are You? Fine
Perhaps you come across a friend, an acquaintance, or even a stranger and the typical polite lines are spoken.
--------------------------------
Suppose that you just entered an elevator with a stranger and the polite lines are exchanged (maybe).
Hi, How are you?
- Fine, thanks; and you?
I'm fine; thank you for asking; have a good day.
- You too.
Next you ride together in complete and awkward silence for the next 15 floors or whatever.
--------------------------------
Alternatively

Hi, How are you?
Hi, thanks for asking. I'm in a great mood. I just listed a real nice home.Oh, good for you. How is the real estate market?
- It's looking good. I'm seeing a lot more buyers. Interest rates are at a 50 year low.
50 year low; wow. What are the rates?
- They are way down around 4.5%. And, with home prices at a 5 year low, you can get mortgage payments that are less than renting.
I've been thinking about buying.
- It's hard to go wrong in this market. By the way, I'm Ron.
Nice to meet you, I'm Karen.
- Do you work in the building or are your just on a sales call.
I'm an accountant with ABC Company.
- ABC; I've heard good things about them. Say, Karen, if you are interested, I'd be glad to talk with you more about buying a home whenever you have time. Here's my card. It has all of my contact info on it.
Thanks, I may do that. (Looking at the card, she says my name) Ron Trzcinski? Is that right?
- You got it. What is your last name?
Ellerbe. Oh, this is my floor.
- Nice talking with you, Karen. Have a good day.
Thanks, you too.
-----------------------------------
Even if Karen does not follow up with a call, I have her name, company, and company address. It will be easy for me to find her work number and give her a call in a day or two.
People are mistaken in thinking that we do not care about each other. However, by starting off with small statements it is easy to create a meaningful conversation that can benefit each person.
So be ready, when someone asks "How are you".
