Is That Your First Impression – Day 43

Day 43 of 100 Days of 100 Ways To Rule Your World

IS THAT YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION?

Remember, you only get ONE shot at a First Impression! So you have got to make it the best first impression you can. There is NO second chance there is NO half-assed good first impression. There is ONLY a Good or Bad first impression.

The sooner you accept this fact, the sooner you can start to work on making a good first impression the first time, EVERY TIME!

So how do you go about making a good first impression?

It is quite simple.

  1. Firm and strong handshake. No one likes shaking a wet noodle. Also, don’t overdo it and crush their hand
  2. Smile 🙂
  3. Introduce yourself properly. “Hello, my name is ___________. Nice to meet you.”
  4. Speak loud enough to be heard. NO YELLING!!!
  5. Repeat the person’s name as they tell you.
  6. When you depart say, “It was nice to meet you, “

If you forgot their name, that’s OK. There is no shame in asking for their name again. The shame comes when you DON’T ask.

Do these six things and you will you make a good impression every time. Practice these six steps, always, and you will ALWAYS make an excellent First Impression.

Thank You and my name is David Guerra.
