First impressions have more weightage than you actually think. People have been taking first impressions quite seriously than ever. The main reason being a lot of rides on the first impression. You can either make or break a deal. You could impress others or put yourself down. The ancient Greeks invested a lot of time into discussing and writing about the effects of first impressions.
They defined the entire process into three parts, which are known as pathos, ethos, and logos. The ethos is mainly known as the ethical part. This part actually defines who you are as a person. It defines your true self. If you are into business or sales, then people will perceive you in a way that depends on your influence over them. Your actions show your capacity to influence others.
The rule of the first impression is that everything totally counts. It can be your appearance, confidence, and attitude. There is a popular quote that states, 'Never wait for a second chance to make a first impression.' For example, when a person meets you, he judges you in the first four seconds. By 30 seconds, he has an idea about you, which is final, according to him.
In a study that was conducted, it was revealed that men or women who do the hiring process, decide whether to choose a person in just 30 seconds. Everything matters when you plan to make a great first impression. Your outward appearance, too, is highly important. While you can't change your physical features, you can definitely pay attention to your clothing and grooming. Your appearance is one of the first things the other person notices.
Additionally, your clothes are on the priority list. It has more importance over others as it covers almost 95% of your body. Hence, be very careful when what to wear before meeting anyone. Your clothing, grooming, hairstyle are the initial things that can have an influence on the other person. There are two things that you can do to put these into action. First, you need to take full responsibility for presenting yourselves.
Similarly, it is important to know your position and dress up accordingly. Your appearance should display confidence and the right attitude. Secondly, know what works best for you. For instance, something that looks great on your friend might not be suitable for you. It is important to know some basic fashion sense to understand what colors work together. Small changes in your overall appearance can help you in the long run.
7 Tips to make a great first impression
Here are some tips on how you can make a great first appearance.
1. Always be punctual
When you are meeting someone for the first time, they would not like you to be late. They would never take you seriously, and that will create a bad impression for you. Always plan to reach the place 15-20 minutes prior. However, it does not matter if you reach earlier than expected. On the other hand, if you are late, it is not acceptable. Have a flexible timing in case you get stuck in traffic. Plan well in advance about how you will reach the venue.
2. Pay attention to presenting yourself
It is a fact that your appearance has a huge role in creating the first impression. The person you will be meeting does not know you. Hence, it is important to present yourself in the best way possible. When you present yourself, it does not need to be over the top. First, you need to know what kind of occasion it is. Then plan on an outfit and dress accordingly. If it is a business meeting, pick the right kind of outfit that is quite formal and elegant. Different traditional cultural have varied dressing options. Hence be sure to read up before you present yourself.
3. Be yourself
Try to be as natural as possible. Be sure not to act up or try to be someone else. Though it is important to be presentable, it is equally important to be yourself. Do not pretend to be someone else. The best way to create the first impression is to be your actual self. Showcasing your true self will make you feel as confident as ever. Additionally, the opposite person, too, shall notice that quality in you. This will gain the trust of the other person, and you shall remain in their good books forever.
4. Have a pleasant smile
To create a good first impression, make sure you have a good smile to offer. Your smile should have confidence and warmth to it. Make sure to display a good smile when you first meet the person. This will help in making both of you comfortable as ever. Smiling is a great way to win someone over. However, it is also important not to smile too much through the meeting. This will give out the wrong signals to the opposite person. It might make you appear as flirty and make the other person uncomfortable. Hence, know how much is apt to make a good first impression.
5. Make use of small talk
If you wish to have smooth communication, it is important to know that your talk should be on verbal give and take. Make a note of the questions you plan on asking the other person. This will keep the conversation going smoothly as ever. Take some time out before you meet the person to know what his/her interests are. What do they like? What are their achievements? Things like these help in conversing with the person. Additionally, you can also learn more about them in detail. This also adds a good impression that you took the time and effort to learn about them.
6. Learn to be confident
When it comes to making a great first impression, body language is also considered crucial. In fact, body language is more powerful in first impressions. Make correct use of your body language to display confidence. Do not forget to make eye contact, stand tall and firm, and greet them with a firm and strong handshake. Though these are small things, yet they go a long way in displaying your confidence. Similarly, they also show your attitude and make a strong first impression.
7. Have a positive attitude
No matter what, always have a positive attitude. The way you talk displays how you are as a person. Hence, make your choice your words wisely. Additionally, always show interest in learning more. Every individual has their strengths and weaknesses. However, the main point here is to have a learning mind.
These tips are sure to help you make a good first impression. Try to be as lively and positive as possible. Don't be over the top. Additionally, be simple and attentive.
