Famous Susan RoAne Quotes

“Abgang Nr. 1 ...sollten Sie warten, bis Sie selbst gerade etwas gesagt haben, was als Schlußpunkt dienten könnte. Dann lächeln Sie freundlich, strecken den Arm für einen abschließenden Händedruck aus und sagen: "Entschuldigen Sie mich bitte, es war nett, Sie zu treffen." Sie könnten noch hinzufügen: "Ich glaube, dort hinten steht mein Chef (Kunde, Partner, Mann etc.)." ... Wenn Sie sich einmal gelöst haben, sollten Sie sich sichtbar in einen anderen Teil des Raumes bewegen. Sie machen damit deutlich, dass Sie wirklich jemand anderen gesehen haben oder etwas Bestimmtes tun mußten und dass Sie Ihren bisherigen Gesprächspartner nicht einfach verlassen haben, weil Sie gelangweilt waren.”
