You’ve heard the saying time and time again, “don’t judge people on first impressions”. You may even practice that quote when you are networking at various business events.

Allow me to keep it real with you. Your client(s) judged you on first impression and so will your potential client(s). Fact in mind, let’s discuss professional image and ways you can insure that everyone who meets you forms a positive first impression of you and your business.

Note: Having a positive first impression formed about you is especially critical if you own/operate a service based business. You want to ensure that every connection you make forms a positive first impression of you.

Keep in mind at all times this fact, that within two to thirty seconds of meeting a new contact, they’ve judged you and you will never get those two to thirty seconds of first impression back!

Note: Remind yourself that looking successful is a major part of being successful.

We businesspeople enjoy meeting new people and re-connecting with people that are pleasant and knowledgeable. Practicing these characteristics on every new contact that you make will lead to you leaving a good first impression with them.

Note: Your bottom line is on the line. A positive professional image attracts business.
