Basis Skills that you need when dealing with people..

1. Make eye contact.
 "The most attractive quality in a person is confidence. But 'be confident' is not very good advice. Instead, find the best proxy for confidence, in terms of interactive behavior. And that's eye contact."
Start this habit immediately, says Porter. It requires no practice or special skill; just the commitment to meet someone's gaze and look them in the eye while conversing.

2. Put your smartphone in your pocket.
And keep it there until your conversation or meeting is over. Basil Chiasson puts it simply: "Pay attention. Look at them. Stop what you're doing. No interruptions."
This is another simple, yet effective, habit that can be executed immediately and does not require any effort or skill.

3. Call people by name.
The next time someone greets you by name or uses your name mid-conversation, remember how great that feels.
If you have trouble putting names to faces, try different strategies, such as writing them down or using imagery or rhymes associated with the name. Quora user Howard Lee suggests repeating their name verbally when you're first introduced, and then twice more in your head.

4. Smile.
Don't underestimate the power of smiling.
Additionally, laugh and tell jokes, recommends Quora user Craig Fraser. People unconsciously mirror the body language of the person they're talking to; if you want to be likable, use positive body language and people will naturally return the favor.
