HOW TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION.

If you have been following my posts for a while you’ll know that I’m a preacher of Love and of course ‘first impression matters’ (pun intended)

But I’ve always said first impression matters’ but then how can one make a first impression, The first impression of anything leaves a lasting imprint.

Let me tell you all a story, well because you all know I’m the best storyseller, when I was in high school, I was taught to calculate without using calculators, like we were allowed to use calculators but the brains that were in class with me would not even allow you to switch in your calculator, I mean I was one of the best students then but I was late with the answers.

I mean imagine a teacher calculating Maths and asking us 59X234 and people are supplying answers within a minute, That fast.

So I had to go study the basics of multiplication which was found at the back of every exercise boom then.

The multiples of 2 all the way to 12 at least till their twelfth orders…

So one time I went to have lessons with some students from another school and the teacher asked 34X34 and ladies and gentlemen, we were waiting for this children to press calculator, the worst part is that even with the calculator, they didn’t get the right answer.

Lessons there really felt bored. I felt like if I kept answering all the questions, these students would tag me a nerd or something so I just had to flow with their frequency, I only answered questions when I was sure none of them could attempt it. But even with this attitude, I made a first impression on them so whenever the teacher would ask a question that was hard for them, they all turned to my direction to save them 😒.

Sometimes I did, other times, I would not answer so that the whole class would learn from the teacher himself, the whole class including myself.

But here are a few tips to make a great first impression.

1. Show Empathy. We gain attention when we show people our soft and humane side.

People want to relate with a human being not a robot, most of my early memories that I can remember we’re memories that were so emotional, either someone made me so happy, so angry or so sad.

People get a great impression about is when they see the good side of us, most of our great friends and best friends actually became friends with us when they helped us out with an issue or they comforted us or even irked us.

2. Create reciprocity: never be scared to give value for free, I remember my first CDS meeting while I was serving, I remember giving my opinion about certain issues that was raised and in the second meeting, I was elected the new Secretary, yea

You can create a good first impression by offering value and great strategies or suggestions. Then people place value with your face on it. You could be more valuable but if you’re silent, you won’t be noticed, you would make an impression but it won’t be the first. But please know when to bring value and when to keep it with you.

3. Have Testimonials: The reason why network marketing works very well is because people believe the words of other people close to them when it comes to trying out a product, this is why most people check reviews first before installing any app or purchasing a product.

Most people would open up to you when you have been introduced by someone familiar to them or close to them, it makes them comfortable around you, this is why influencer marketing also works more on the fans of the influencer or in those who admire that influencer.

4: Appearance: appearance really matters especially when it’s a physical meeting, people would addressed you how you are dressed, one time in the bible, the daughter in-law of Judah wanted to sleep with him, so she dressed as a harlot and she was addressed as such,

People would first address your dressing before they even know you’re smart, they might not tell you about it but before speaking with you, your accessories and dressing has been assessed.

Cheers to making a great first impression
