1. Give a wide smile with nod before start any conversation.
2. Start off with simple greeting such as hi, hello, or morning with a smiling face.
3. Don’t go direct to the point of what you need him to help. Turn your words around so that it won’t sound directly you want him to help. Share with him your situation first. Then slowly asking him whether he has any idea or know anything that might be able to help you lighter your situation.
4. Do not disagree with him on any idea given even though you think it is irrelevant. Just listen to whatever he has to say, agree with him truly (even though u don’t agree) and then ask for alternative ways.
5. That way will make him feel good of himself and you. With that, helping you would be his pleasure. This will make him wants to give out some help to make some different to your difficult situation.
6. See what he can offer, and consider thoroughly whether is safe to take his offer or better off solve it your own with the information he has given.
7. Last but not least, remember to say thank you with smile and slight bow to show your appreciation.
Have a nice try.
