You need to make a great first impression when you
make a presentation, go for the first
meeting with prospective
partners, publish a video for a new audience, and on many other
first-time occasions.
First impressions last.
Once created, the first impression is difficult to change.
The audience will make decisions about you from
your first appearance, your facial expression, your
body language, your words and the sound of your voice.
This may sound
obvious, but you can't
make the first impression twice. Make the most out of it!
At
Innompic Games, we invite
Innompians to create their
First-Impression cards that
should contain ① photo, ② three
words the person lives by, and ③
the message to the world.
Your
attitude
is the first thing people pick
up on. Before you say a word,
your core attitude can start
crafting the first impression
about you.
Project the attitude you want to
− friendly, enthusiastic,
confident, energized, happy,
approachable, empathetic, a
positive, proactive person it's
great to deal with.
When you are operating from
inside a really useful attitude,
your non-verbal communication,
such face expression and body
language, tends to take care of
itself and sends out signals you
want to send and that help you
to
connect with people within
30 seconds.
Don't Pretend, Be
Don't pretend to be someone you
are not ‒ people will feel
intuitively you're lying to them
and will dislike you.
Be
the best version of yourself. Be
positive, energized, passionate
about
your higher life purpose and
value creating activities. Be
charismatic,
be witty.
Your prospects feel
subconsciously how you feel
about them. Repeat mentally the
following three phrases to
create the right attitude
towards your audience:
I
am happy to be hear!
I
am happy to see you all!
I
am very interested in you, and
I'm going to give you something
very special –
sincerely!

Nicholas Boothman, the
author of
How To Connect in Business in 90 Seconds or Less, suggests the
following three rules of making a good first impression:
②
Fit in – when you want people to
feel like they already know you, be a chameleon. You feel
comfortable and relaxed with people who are like you. Pace your
prospects, synchronize your
body language with them to achieve
immediate
connection.
③ Capture the
imagination and you capture the heart. Use
sensory-rich language and images so others can see, hear, feel,
smell and taste what you mean.
