How to avoid “lying corpses” after adding WeChat and quickly shorten the distance
Many people have successfully added WeChat to chat, but because they do not interact, they will “lie on the friend list” and miss the opportunity for further development. The “3-day interaction rule” uses the rhythm of “breaking the ice on the first day, deepening the next day, and inviting on the third day”, so that the interaction is layered and targeted, quickly shortening the distance with the other party and avoiding the cold scene.
“Breaking the ice on the first day”: Within 24 hours of adding WeChat, send a “personalized message” to continue the conversation topic, don’t just send “hello”. For example, if you pick up a conversation at a bookstore, you can say: “I was really happy to talk to you about “Alive” today, I flipped through the clips in the book after I went back, and I still felt that Fugui’s experience was too emotional, did you have anything particularly touching when you read it at that time?” Strike up a conversation in the gym, you can say: “Thank you for teaching me running skills today, I just tried it, and sure enough, my breathing is much smoother, can I ask you if I have fitness problems in the future?” Personalized messages can remind the other party of you, and continue the previous communication, paving the way for subsequent interactions.
“Deepen the next day”: The next day, start a topic around the “other person’s interests” and take the initiative to share relevant content. For example, if the other party likes photography, you can say: “I swiped a set of super beautiful sunset photos today, and suddenly remembered that you said you like to take pictures of the scenery, share it with you, what do you think of this composition?” The other party likes food, you can say: “I found a new Japanese food restaurant, the evaluation seems to be very good, do you usually like to eat Japanese food?” By sharing content related to the other person’s interests, show your attention, and at the same time guide the other party to share their own experiences, so that the interaction can be deeper.
“Invitation on the third day”: If the interactive atmosphere is good in the first two days, you can make a specific invitation on the third day. For example, if you talk about liking to see exhibitions, you can say: “There is an illustration exhibition next weekend, I read the preview and think it is very interesting, there are two tickets, do you want to go together?” When talking about liking sports, you can say: “I plan to go to the park to play badminton on the weekend, if you have time, can you go together? It’s more interesting to play with more people.” The invitation should be specific and clear, based on common interests, and is more acceptable than the vague “have time to play together”. If the other party agrees, you can further confirm the time and place; if the other party refuses, don’t be discouraged, you can reply “It’s okay, then there will be an appointment later”, maintain a friendly attitude, and leave room for subsequent interactions.
