Hello how may I help you? I'm having a party this weekend and need some conversation starters What type of party are you having? It will be a professional party with a lot of people coming to network You could start out with a story about work/ I see. Do you have any suggestions non work-related? You could talk about the importance of coming together and building networks Very true. Thanks for the advice I will try that Maybe you could tell a joke about families. Definitely want to lighten the mood in the beginning, I will try that Thanks for the help Great. You're welcome
