Stop Asking “What Do You Do?” Try These 3 Questions Instead

Have you ever walked into a networking event and heard the same question over and over: "What do you do?"
What if three simple questions could help you have more meaningful conversations and build stronger relationships?
In this episode of the Why Not Today? Podcast, Leslie Kane explores how asking better questions can change the way we connect with others, whether we're networking, growing a business, or simply meeting someone new.
Inspired by a lesson from Vanessa Van Edwards' book Conversation, Leslie shares three questions that encourage people to tell stories rather than just share facts.
Drawing from more than 32 years of building businesses through relationships and referrals, Leslie also shares personal stories about her dad's ability to connect with people, a friend's upcoming adventure, and an unexpected connection to the television show 90210.
You'll discover why genuine curiosity, active listening, and thoughtful follow-up can make a bigger difference than a perfectly rehearsed elevator pitch.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
- Why asking "What do you do?" isn't always the best way to start a conversation.
- Three networking conversation starters that encourage people to open up and share their stories.
- How curiosity and listening help build trust and genuine business relationships.
- Why remembering personal details makes your follow-up more meaningful.
- How better conversations can create opportunities for friendships, referrals, and new clients.
