This means you need to keep utterly idle chatter to a minimum and look towards progressing with the person you meet.

One of the best ways to do this is keep the conversation on the other person. Ask about the person's hobbies and interests. Get them chatting which will have the additionally positive impact of them feeling you are truly interested. This, in turn, leads to interest in you.

This will deliver far better results than the opposite approach would.

This is what leads to common problems and errors in judgment that sink a meeting. Why put yourself through this?
