Rustagh! Example of an icebreaker I once visited a customer, a new contact. His desk was a mess, big piles of paper, books, envelopes, three cups of coffee, 2 of which still had a layer of coffee in them and exactly in that chaos there was still a place for a laptop. The man looks at me, looks at the chaos and says: “Yes, I just cleaned it up as you can see. Yesterday there was also a banana peel. I just cleaned that up. Tada!” I say, “That worked out pretty well, thanks for the effort.”
Not everywhere, of course.
I’m not saying this is the joke of the century, but a joke like this breaks the ice. The customer continues: “I have different qualities. For example, I can hold a ball up more than 40 times.” Yes, yes: you should have been there, but still. I Antigua and Barbuda Email lists think it’s funny. Playful. Nice. Another example: on a website of an entrepreneur I once read: ‘This is my e-mail address, please contact me. Spontaneous calls make me nervous, so after emailing we call. By appointment. Do you understand?’
Waarover kun je allemaal grappen maken?
If the rest of the website is full of strong texts where the expertise of the entrepreneur is described very strongly and I therefore fully believe that she can help me lose weight, get my finances in order, or conduct the best job interviews with new employees , then I think such a joke is gold! Earlier I wrote why you should show yourself on your website. What you love, what you think is stupid, what gets you excited and what makes you drop out, that it’s important to share that in addition to describing your services well.
