You prefer systems over guesswork. Handshake Protocol gives hobbyists a precise, test‑repeatable method for initiating, sustaining, and closing everyday conversations without clunky memorization. Run modular flows—Greeting → Hook → Calibration → Depth → Close—each with timing cues, tone ranges, and pass/fail checkpoints. You’ll deploy opener matrices, listening loops, question ladders, and graceful exits, all engineered to minimize friction and build rapport quickly.
Every module includes exact prompts, turn‑taking ratios, vocal tempo targets, and nonverbal markers (stance, angle, glance duration) so you can iterate like a mini experiment. Use the pocket timing grid, scenario cards (queue, café, office, meetup), and recovery trees for silence, interruptions, or misreads. Track results with simple metrics—latency to rapport, topic thread length, and follow‑up conversion—so you can verify improvements instead of guessing.
Cut the fluff. Build the skill. With clear mechanics and reproducible steps, this field manual turns unpredictable interactions into a dependable routine you can refine across days—not months.
