This is the third and final episode of the Small Talk series.  In this episode, we explore the reasons and phrases we can use for finishing a piece of small talk in a professional manner.  We also discuss the 3 aims we should have when closing a conversation down in order to ensure a clean and professional break from the dialogue.


 ==============
 
 The THREE aims when finishing a piece of small talk:

  • We should aim to make our audience feel liked
  • We should aim to compliment our audience in some way
  • We should aim to make them feel memorable
