According to Linda Coles, social media and influence expert, businesspeople all over the world are looking for new and alternative ways to market themselves and their businesses. By going back to good old-fashioned small talk and saying hello to strangers, more business opportunities and connections will arise. Put simply, people like to do business with people they know, like, and trust.

If you want to boost your prospects in business and in life, it’s time to start talking to more people.” — Linda Coles
