<<<Another trick - parrot their words. Engineers LOVE to hear you explain
back to them what they just said. It makes them all warm and creamy
inside. "So what you're saying is...." Watch the smiles form...Good
luck...that'll be $235.00. :-)
Andrew, this advice is worth $235:)))
Parroting has worked for me at parties, with dates, and in
interviews...never thought to use it with engineers. Thanks.
