Over at Fast Company, Annet Grant, CEO of Executive Speaking, Inc., recommends you offer them an interesting fact or useful information that they likely haven’t heard before.

It’s best to relate your thought-provoking “did you know?” to the situation, yourself, or the person you’re talking to if possible. If you can find an opening, take it. Now you’ll be remembered as the person that taught them something interested and not “that one person whose hand I shook.”
