What’s the Mark of a Good Conversationalist?

Answer: Follow-up questions.

It is careful listening that makes you better able to respond in conversation.  You can build on what the other person said and be a good talker when it’s your turn.  And best of all, good follow up questions are key to being a good conversationalist.

Great tip: Ask questions that the other person will enjoy answering.
