Impress the people you meet positively

The first impression is the key to a positive response from people. No matter what situation you are in or what the purpose of meeting new people is, it is essential to skip negative prejudice by representing yourself in a distinct way. Read some easy tips below on how to make a decent first impression.

1. Look classy

We are not going to talk about white teeth and fresh breath which is obvious. You need to look sharp groomed to attract people in your personal space. It is important to groom your facial hair in case you are a man, but it is also important to have a cut each month and use barbering services, or a salon to make the best out of your hair. People tend to prejudice, although it is bad, we still do it, and a mess on your head makes people think you don’t care about the importance of meeting them. Your finery must fit you perfectly. It is not about how much it costs and what brand it is, but a perfectly fitting suit is what you need to have to look corporate.

2. Open up

Besides the obvious facts like the eye contact, it is important to practice your body language. Learn some high-power poses and never close up by crossing your hands in front of an audience. Use your chest tone to express your thoughts with a full emphasis. You should sound confident to gain respect. The importance lies on how you say something, not what you say, so it is good to remove the "ah" word from your speech. It is better to fill it with short pauses for more emphasis rather than filling the air with humming. It is okay to practice at home with yourself. It is even possible to change the pitch of your voice and train yourself to long last speaking without sounding tired or bored.

3. Know the people

We get positive impressions when people express their attention to us. Selfishness is a part of our nature, and using the perks is not cheating. You will know what to wear and how to behave if you gather some facts about your audience. The adaptation will become faster to stay confident right away you get to a new circle of contacts. Don’t tell stories which can be embarrassing or even hurt people’s feelings. The only one thing which works for everyone is always to be on time.

Use these tips to make the best first impression in any case. The nation and the culture don’t influence our basic psychology, so it will work for everybody.
