A Simple Way to Make a Good First Impression

This is the first topic that I have gone through and its quite interesting. As far as I know that first impression is very important when we are meeting someone and if it is good then later we need not to struggle with this but if in case the first impression is not good Ud then another person find it difficult to have trust and faith on ourselves.

In today's corporate world meeting with different clients and customer is part of our job and make it effective it's important to know how to present ourselves in front of them. Any guidance what's this is very helpful and the author has nicely written in the book about it.

Author Dale has talked about this topic in around 6 pages and after going throuh it I found few lines very much intresting so sharing here fir you guys to have a look-

Whenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown
of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshin, greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs.

Indeed and smile on the face confident people who are confident and the person instead of having side tired type of face. If I talk about my personal then I always ensure to make myself look happy whenever I go for the client meeting because this way the impact on the meeting is quite fruitful. Smile is a very small thing but let me tell you that the impact of your smile can make a big difference.

Few things that Dale talked about in this topic are very muhc useful and I can say that we must follow to leave a positiv first impression on anyone. While goin out we should think positive, keep an smile on the face, greet people, and be confident. These are some of of the things that make us a better personality

Hello friend, the truth is a very good book and that brings us many teachings, I also continue reading it and learning from it.

The first impression of course will always be important, but nevertheless I believe that we have to stay true to who we are and not change our style or our thoughts to impress others. Demonstrating who we are and what we are capable of doing is more than enough for them to see our potential.

I have not read this book but I know about it and many companies send their sales associates to the seminars they do about this book for training. One of these days I really need to read this book, have to see if it is easily available on audio.
