Facial Expression - Always display a warm, sincere smile. The slower you smile, the more sincerity you communicate showing that you’re developing a true appreciation of him or her. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
Eye Contact -The windows to your soul reveal the truth about your sincerity. Maintain good eye contact. Failure to look directly at the person can convey a lack of self-confidence.
Never look around the room. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
Shaking Hands -The way we hold another’s hand will convey presence and enthusiasm or send a negative message. A firm handshake, with your thumb notches contacting each other, will earn you positive points. Maintain the contact for at least two seconds. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
Name Recall - Remember and use a person’s name. This lets them know that they’re important to us and, of course, our number-one objective is to make them feel special. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
Body Posture - Stand straight, with shoulders back and chin high, leaning forward very slightly when talking. Keep your body “open” at a slight angle, rather that directly face to face, thus giving them more “personal space” and allowing a greater level of comfort. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
Initial Question -Begin the dialogue by asking a question about the person himself or herself that reflects sincere interest, and makes the person feel important. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
The Conversation -- Honor the person and make them feel special by expressing genuine admiration. Compliment them in a sincere way. Look at the person speaking and nod often. Pay close attention to the conversation; those little details may be useful in the near future. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
Never interrupt. This clearly informs your new friend that you are not focused on what he or she has to say but have simply been waiting for an opportunity to speak yourself. This way you can make a fabulous first impression.
