Innovations International On Making A Great Impression

HARTFORD, CT, April 2014 – Innovations International share advice on how to make the best first impression everyday:

1. Design your elevator pitch. An elevator pitch is how you describe what you do for a living in a short amount of time, usually about thirty seconds. During that time it’s important that you can sum up what you do and how you do it. This is also useful in social situations when meeting people for the first time.You don’t have to be starting or own your own business to benefit from having an elevator pitch. Write a thirty second script that you would say to someone when you meet them for the first time. Learning this off by heart can help you make a really good first impression. It’s very important that you deliver it with confidence as you won’t be saying it again to that particular person.You need to make it easy for them to connect with you.

2. Speak for Yourself. Sometimes you will be introduced to someone and the person who is making the introduction will do all the talking. If you are anxious or nervous then it is much easier to just stand there, smile and say Hi. People don’t remember you if you don’t say anything and let the other person do all the talking. Speak for yourself. After you have been introduced, make an effort to engage with that person with a question. When you really can’t think of anything to say, find something in common, or if you  know a little about them, then use it to your advantage, for example ’I heard you were born in Hawaii, what was growing up there like?’ Remember, most people love to talk about themselves!

3. Treat Everyone Like The Gatekeeper To Your Destiny. Everyone you meet has the potential to change your life immeasurably and help you get to where you want to be. This is why it is vitally important to treat everyone the same and introduce yourself to as many people as possible, as you never know who will change your life for the better. Try it out for yourself, and you will see more and more people will want to help you. Enthusiasm is infectious and people want to be a part of your success. You will also realize that there may be ways in which you can help other people and you might even be the gatekeeper to their destiny!

4. Body Language and Attitude. These are common sense tips that you probably already know but are easy to forget about and not to put into practice. Body posture is very important when you meet someone. The human brain will pick up many signals subconsciously from a meeting in a split second to help it form an opinion of you. You want to make sure you are giving off as many positive signals as possible. Standing up straight is the most basic but the most important. When you stand up straight with your shoulders back you are giving the signal that you are confident in yourself. You also need to speak clearly and purposefully. Always look people in the eyes. Make sure you smile throughout your meeting. Happiness and enthusiasm are infectious and attractive.

If you believe in yourself and seem confident, enthusiastic and genuinely interested in the other person, then you will make a great first impression. Some people may not like you for reasons that are beyond your control, perhaps you remind them of someone or they are just simply having a bad day. If you have negative responses, don’t let this affect you. You are only in control of your own actions and thoughts. The outcomes of your meetings are out of your control so focus on the process!

The majority of the first meetings will be great and you will begin to attract new people into your life who want to help you and be friends with you.
