Openers That Work

Openers aren’t icebreakers—they’re invitations. They’re the crack in the door that makes someone lean in.

The secret? The opener isn’t about you.


1. Make It About Them

People don’t care how clever you are. They care that you’ve noticed them.

2. Keep It Short

The shorter your opener, the more weight each word carries. Use that to your advantage.

3. Serve, Don’t Take

Lead with a genuine observation, a helpful question, or a thoughtful comment. Make them think, “This person gets it.”
