Here are some tips on how you can make a first impression that would totally awe the people you meet:

1. Be mindful of your body language. It’s a fact that the people you meet for the first time will pay attention to your body language just as much as they pay attention to the words you say.  

People will judge you through your body language before you even open your mouth. So that they won’t hesitate to approach and talk to you, make sure that you always uncross your arms and have an easy, ready smile at all times. This makes you look more relaxed and amiable.

Be sure that you wear a dress appropriate for the occasion. Choose something that would complement your personality and boost your confidence. 

3. Be unique. You can stand out from the crowd not just by wearing an attention-grabbing outfit, but by making witty and smart conversations.

Instead of sticking to the usual conversation topics, you can fire up a conversation by picking a witty topic and adding some personal touch to it. Try sharing about a funny event that happened on one of the business gatherings you’ve attended or a blooper experience you have had with one of your customers.

4. Pay attention, it’s not just about you.  Another important factor of creating a killer first impression is by getting engaged in your discussion with the other person. Take note of his or her name and make sure that you mention it at least once in your conversation. This will make him or her feel that you are interested and that you’ve paid attention.
