As Dale Carnegie says: Ask questions and get the other person talking. People love to talk and so the great conversationalist is really the great polite inquisitioner and listener.
That's my preferred approach, when I manage to run into someone who's willing to talk. But I want to also be able to break the ice with people who, like me, are primarily listeners by nature. :)
