Business Success Is Affected by these First Impressions. What works for you?

"El Gallo" Jose Antonio Rivera, three time world champion boxer, knows the importance of a first impression when facing his opponent in the ring.


His posture, facial expression and menacing stance, would all signal that he is ready to win the match and show why he is the champion.


Of course, he was sporting a vibrant smile when visiting with us lately.  In the business realm, as a leader with USANA Health Sciences, Jose always greets people with a welcoming, sincere smile in the first few seconds, which wins immediate trust and opens the door for friendly conversation.

If you only have 30 seconds to win the confidence of someone you have just met at a business, sports or social event, what else makes the difference for an effective way to introduce yourself and your business?


1.  Catch their attention.  People's minds are filled at any one time with ideas, worries, places to be, things to do.  What can you say that will startle them into attention and relate to their lives?  For example,  "Did you know that over 80% of people wish they could make extra income working from home?"


2.  Be clear on what is most critical for the person to understand.   Nobody likes to be tricked or manipulated into a decision, so you make it clear and concise.  "Well, I show them a simple, effective home-based system for creating a growing, stable source of income."


3.  What makes you and your business distinctive and compelling?  There are thousands of options in the marketplace, which makes decisions difficult.  "In fact, we have a proven training program to help people get off to a fast start and then to continue for a strong income through the years.  Would that make a difference for you or someone you know?"


You have 30 seconds to get through the clutter that cries out for a person's attention.  Make your message capture their attention,  relate to their situation and distinguish yourself from others.  That's real value in a short conversation that could lead to a long lasting business relationship.

What's working for you with first impressions?
