Start with the basics, naturally: “Hi, I’m Ana. Nice to meet you.” A smile and eye contact matter as much as the words.
Professionally, add context: “I’m a marketing analyst at…”, “I’ve been working with… for five years”. Say what you do and your value.
Close with a hook: “I’d love to hear more about what you do” keeps the conversation alive and shows genuine interest.
