Use and respond appropriately to opening comments
Introduction
Opening statements start a conversation. They tell the listener the purpose of the interaction and give direction on
how to continue the conversation. Properly understanding and responding to opening statements is an essential
skill at work. Mastering this skill can leave your co-workers with a great first impression, and failing to do so
could leave them confused and upset.
Opening Statements
Starting a conversation can be one of the most stressful things in life, but also one of the most rewarding. Being
good at starting conversations is essential in your career and many other aspects of life. The following are
examples of opening statements that can help you get the ball rolling.
Examples:
How are you?
How did your shift go?
How’s the weather today?
Anything new today?
Are you busy?
What time do you finish work?
Good morning.
