Small talk takes you BIG places

When you are asked "how are you?", how do you respond?

Do people really want to hear, "fine, thank you."

However you choose to respond, be it sad, enthusiastic, optimistic or otherwise - make it genuine.

Authenticity increases the quality of your interaction...this is the art of small talk. 

Small talk is vital to networking success, as it allows you the opportunity to connect with others. Small talk takes you BIG places.
