How to Make The Best Possible First Impression

By Kum Mittan


Finding success with your very own business is possible, but you must do some things to get there. A product that is exceptional will really help. You have to choose the best price for your product. Possessing time management skills is also definitely required. Managing your money, and being an ethical business person, is also a must. It's all important. Regardless if your business is online or off-line, you have to create a solid first impression the first time anyone encounters you. The first impression you make on a person is often what decides whether or not you will actually make the sale or get hired. How can you make sure your first impression goes over well? Now let's take a look at some strategies that might be helpful.

First of all, communicating with others is something you need to master. E-mailing people back, or calling them the same day they call you, is very important. If the communication comes in near the end of the day and you aren't able to respond immediately, a quick "I got your email, I will respond in full first thing in the morning" response can go a long way to winning someone over. Don't forget! Make sure that you actually talk with them, or e-mail them, as you said you would. Do not let more than 24 hours lapse between when that person first communicated with you and when you respond fully to them. Weekends are the only variations of this, where calls back, or e-mails, or not necessarily required. Calling back Monday would be fine.

Remembering someone's name is always going to be the positive first impression. Regardless of how you meet them, or where you meet them, this will make you look really good. While talking to this person, using their name at least once can make all the difference in the world. Make sure their name is pronounced the right way. Pronouncing it really is everything. By asking them to say their name slowly to you, or repeat their name, you can pronounce it right every time thereafter. Don't just assume you know how to say their name. Mispronouncing the name can be a detrimental act. It's even worse if you get the person's name wrong!

Anytime someone else sells a product or service, research what they're doing. Typically, people may find it necessary to work with you because your services can complement the ones that they also offer. You need to learn about the product or service they are offering. Learn about their history, and how they relate to this industry. Your research might not turn up too much information, but at least find out about the niche that this person is in. A quick Google search can help you learn plenty about the background of and the world in which the person operates. They will be impressed that you took the time to learn so that they won't have to waste time explaining.

The truth is that before you can truly start to build a business, you need to create a positive first impression. Anyone that is unable to provide a positive first impression with the people they encounter may fail, regardless of their business skills. Essentially, you'll never use them. Always make a first impression that is a good one. Utilize the tips that we have provided to help you do this in your own life.
