. Background Information:
Make a strong first impression: six
tips that really work
We
have all heard this warning:
“
You never get a second
chance to make a good first
impression.
”
Also,
psychologists, writers,
and seminar leaders
caution
that
we only
have from seven
to seventeen seconds of interacting with strangers
before they form
an
opinion
of
us.
With
this
widely
acknowledged
pressure
to
“
make
our
case
”
instantly, here are six tips for making
your first impression a positive one.
1.
the
greatest
way
to
make
a
positive
first
impression
is
to
demonstrate
immediately
that
the
other
person,
not
you,
is
the
center
of
action
and
conversation.
Illustrate
that
the
spotlight
is
on
you
only,
and
you’ll
miss
opportunities
for
friendships,
jobs,
love
relationships,
networking,
and
sales.
Show that you are
other-centered, and first-time acquaintances will
be eager to
see you again.
2.
Closely
related: You
’
ll make a
superb initial impression when you demonstrate
good listening skills. Give positive
verbal cues:
“
Hmm
…
interesting!
”
“
Tell me
more,
please.
”
“
What did you do
next?
”
just as actors
benefit from prompts, your
conversational
partner
will
welcome
your
assistance
in
keeping
the
exchange
going. Nonverbally,
you show you
’
re a skilled
listener by maintaining steady eye
contact. Remember how you respond to
the social gadabout who appears to be
looking over your shoulder for the next
person he wants to corner. Remember,
and avoid that habit.
3.
Use the name
of a new acquaintance frequently.
“
Judy,
I like
that suggestion.
”
“
Your
vacation
must
have
been
exciting,
Fred.
”
You
show
that
you
have
paid
attention
from
the
start,
catching
the
name
during
the
introduction.
Equally
as
important,
you
’
ll
make
conversations
more
personal
by
including
the
listener
’
name several times.
4.
Be careful
with humor. Although a quip or two might serve as
an icebreaker, stay
away
from
remarks
that
could
bring
about
adverse
results.
Because
you
don
’
t
know a stranger
’
s
sensitivities, casual joking might establish
barriers you can
’
t
overcome, either now or later.
5.
Appearance
counts. Several years ago, a professional
colleague offered to meet
me for lunch.
I decided against wearing a suit,
opting for a
sport coat and tie.
When he showed up in shorts and
sandals, the message he conveyed was:
“
Bill,
meeting
you is a rather ordinary experience, and
doesn
’
t call for me to
present a
business-like
appearance.
”
Not
surprisingly, that was the last time I met with
him.
True,
standards
for
appropriate
dressing
have
changed
greatly.
Maybe
the
best
advice I can share came from a
participant in a seminar I conducted. She said,
“
I
don
’
t dress for
the job I have now, I dress for the job I want to
have.
”
6.
As a
communication specialist, I have to point out that
an individual
’
s speaking
style impacts the first impression,
maybe more than we wish. Listeners judge our
intelligence, our cultural level, our
education, even our leadership ability by the
