In this article you will know 7 tips to learn how to make a good impression and start your relationships in a better way.
Surely you have heard the phrase that says: “Everything enters through the eyes”.
A good first impression largely defines what our opinion is about something or someone. No matter how much we may know later.
In the same way, we get different impressions of what we see, and the people we meet get an impression of us.
That is why it is important to project a positive image that allows us to improve our relationships, to launch our projects or facilitate their sustainability.
Bill Murphy Jr, co-author of the book Breakthrough Entrepreneurship and founder of proghostwriters.com, gives us some tips to learn how to make a good impression recommends the following:
How to make a good first impression:
1. Have a sense of humor.
The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said that a man’s intellectual power is measured by the amount of humor he is capable of using.
Similarly, a study from the University of New Mexico found that people with higher intelligence indices have a sense of humor.
It’s not about being extremely funny, but it’s clear that the sense of humor demonstrates perspective and agility.
2. Anticipate the needs of others.
Being aware of the needs of the members of the work group can give you advantages and boost your reputation.
Since in the face of any eventuality, the decisions you make can be conditioned by what others need individually and you will project more leadership.
3. Demonstrates personal care.
A dentist with very bad teeth does not show professionalism.
How we look is very important. Since it is easier to project interest in our projects and those of others; if we first show interest in ourselves.
Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, shares the same opinion and is emphatic in saying that it is not about having the most expensive suit; it is about keeping the one we have in very good condition.

Let’s keep going…
4. Have passion.
In everything related to your work, show passion. If the people around you see that you love what you do, you will reflect more credibility.
Keep in mind that if you are in a job for the money and you are not happy; it is very possible that in some years you will be regretting it.
5. Be receptive.
Listening is a skill that is undervalued (Also read “5 tips to master the art of knowing how to listen”).
By listening attentively we can learn more and recognize characteristics in the people around us to facilitate our communication with them.
6. Give solutions.
Faced with any problem, the last thing you should do is become one more problem. So no matter what caused the problem, show that you can be a solution.
In a work group, it is common for some people to recognize a problem, but only very few take the initiative to solve it.
Anyone can recognize a problem, only a professional works to provide the solution.
7. Be very punctual.
We like that they respect our time, so the least we should do is respect that of others.
Reaching any meeting compliments (Also read “How to plan really productive meetings”) speaks for itself of our responsibility and ability to meet the delivery times of any project.
Conclusion.
We must never neglect the impression that others have of us, since many things depend on that.
The 7 previous tips will allow you to project yourself correctly and will facilitate your relationships with your work group, client and even your family.
I hope you find them very useful 🙂
