Making a great first impression
Last week we told you about last impressions, so this week is all about first ones!
If you want to make a fantastic first impression, stand out from the crowd, build rapport instantly and impress people then there is one thing you need to do above everything else. ….
SMILE!
Yes, this is a painfully obvious tip but it’s one that many many people overlook. It’s the number rule for flirting but we are amazed that a small number of people come to our events and don’t smile. Even when we welcome them on the door, they look grumpy and don’t even acknowledge our hellos. They’ll stand in the corner and look grumpy and this makes it very hard for anyone to approach them. We realise that this might be because they are nervous, but you really don’t need to be. You just need to step out of your comfort zone a little and realise that everyone is in the same boat. Remember our hosts are always there to help you.
If you are bit a shy then it’s easy to fake a smile. Think of something that makes you laugh or picture a happy memory. A warm smile will make you seem friendly and confident and instantly puts everyone at ease. Think these happy thoughts before you enter the venue and you’ll feel so much better.
Just don’t go overboard of you’ll end up looking a little gormless!
