Step 1: Find the Person You Want to Talk to
The first step is to find the person you want to talk to. You can use the search bar to look for them or check the rooms they are in. Once you find them, click on their profile picture to go to their profile page.
Step 2: Follow Them and Wait for Them to Follow Back
To be able to send a direct message, you need to follow the person and wait for them to follow you back. You can do this by clicking on the “Follow” button on their profile page. Once they follow you back, you can send them a direct message.
Step 3: Send a Direct Message
To send a direct message, click on the “Envelope” icon on the top right corner of the app. This will take you to your inbox. Click on the “New Message” button, type the person’s name, and write your message. Keep the message polite and professional.
Step 4: Wait for a Response
After sending the message, you need to wait for a response. If the person is not online, they will receive your message when they log back in. If they are online, they will receive a notification and can respond immediately.
Step 5: Move to a Private Room
If the person agrees to talk to you, you can move to a private room. You can do this by clicking on the person’s profile picture and selecting “Start a Room with…” Then, select “Private” and invite the person to join.
Step 6: Have a Polite Conversation
Once you are in a private room, have a polite conversation with the person. Listen to what they have to say and respond appropriately. Keep the conversation professional and avoid any offensive language or behavior.
Step 7: End the Conversation Politely
After the conversation, end it politely. Thank the person for their time and end the room. If you want to stay connected, you can follow each other on Clubhouse and keep in touch.
