What to say when greeting someone?
This is a sample conversation.

Ekk: Good morning David. How are you?
David: Good, thank you. How are you?
Ekk: Good thanks.
David: ???

I have heard he said "glad to hear", "good to hear". Is there other words or sentences he can use?

Answer

- It's nice to know

- I'm happy to hear that

Answer

"That's good to hear" or "Glad to hear it" both work.  But at this point I'd just move past the "greeting" stage and get to business or ask about something in their life.

For example:
Ekk: Good morning David. How are you?
David: Good, thank you. How are you?
Ekk: Good thanks.
David: Great, what do we need to do today?

or
David: That's good, how's your family (or insert something else you've talked about before or share an interest in)?

or
David: Oh hey, did you hear that ....

Answer

Ekk: Good morning David. How are you?
David: Good, thank you. How are you?
Ekk: Good thanks.
David: Glad to hear it.
