First impressions are key with anyone you meet. That is what people take away and base their decision on whether or not they like you and if you’re a right fit for them. So, impressions are essential. FGmarket has a few tips that will help you make a great first impression and get customers into your store.
Choose a color – This may sound ridiculous, however, people have a certain color that they always look great in. When you look professional and sophisticated, you’re going to make a good first impression. Just listen to your friends and see when they give you compliments on the color you’re wearing. If you hear one more than others, that’s your color.
Look professional – It’s always important to look like a professional in your industry. No one will take you serious if you’re just in a t-shirt and jeans. If necessary, wear a suit or business attire. However, if it’s not necessary, just make sure you look presentable and are groomed well.
Speak well – It’s important that you speak well. Know what you’re talking about. If you’re just rambling on about nonsense Speak in whole sentences and use proper grammar.
Be positive – Have a positive outlook on everything. No one likes a downer. Be positive about what you’re talking about and doing. If someone is being negative or there is a negative issue at hand, try to turn it into something positive.
Do your homework – Make sure you are knowledgeable about your business or the product you are selling. No one will take you serious or you definitely won’t make a good first impression if you have no idea what you’re talking about. So, make sure you know atleast the basics.
Stay calm and collective – However, if you’re unsure of a question that they ask, always stay calm and collective. Don’t sweat the small stuff and just learn from your experience. If you become scatter brained and nervous, this can turn people away. They will get the notion that you’re unsure, which makes them unsure about you and the product or service.
Be courteous – Of course, this is a given. Be nice to all you come in contact with. People enjoy meeting friendly and nice people, this makes a great impression. They get the impression that you’re a good person and won’t scam them.
Remember their names – Just remember the names of the people you interact with. It’s everything if you remember someone’s name, it really shows that you care and are interested in what they have to say.
So, remember, first impressions are truly key. If you make a good first impression, potential clients will want to visit your store and check out your products.
