Eliz: Welcome once again to "Culture Tips" with Gary Engleton.
Today's e-mail question is: "How do I know when to stop small talk and get down to business?"
Gary: Hmm, well, in most situations, small talk should only last for a few minutes.
When people have been introduced and are comfortable, you can start the serious conversation.
Eliz: But how do you know exactly when to begin talking about business?
Gary: Well, you don't really. But you should look at the other people in the room very carefully. Sometimes you can see signs that it's time to end the small talk.
Eliz: What do you mean? What kind of signs?
Gary: Well, for example, if people are looking at their watches, that's one sign.
Eliz: Because they are wondering when the discussion will begin?
Gary: Yes, or they're bored.
Another sign to look for is a pause in the conversation or an awkward silence.
After that, you can say, "Well, perhaps we should begin our meeting."
Or you can say, "Why don't we get started?"
Eliz: Thanks for the information, Gary!
Gary: My pleasure!
