44. How to make a lasting First Impression on your?potential customers at scale

In this article we will understand why first impressions are critical in businesses, what are the basic components of it and how to do it at scale in this online world.

Why 'First Impression' :

The first impression is critical in business because it sets the tone for the future relationship with your potential customers or partners.

First impression is the Last impression.

First impressions tend to have a lasting impact on people's perceptions. It takes just a few seconds for someone to form an initial opinion about you or your business, and that opinion can be difficult to change. A positive first impression creates a strong foundation for building trust and credibility.

Customers make their purchasing decisions based on their first impression of any brand or company. While there is always the possibility that you can repair a poor first impression, it is much more challenging to change a customer’s mind once they have already formed a poor impression of your company or brand.

When there is a bad impression of your brand, they are less likely to make a purchase, and if they do, there is a higher probability of buyer’s remorse. Therefore, it is crucial to make an effort to create an excellent first impression and start a new relationship with customers on a positive footing.

Basics of making a lasting first impression :

2. Provide Quick Personalized Value : Find the problem of your ideal customer relevant to your offerings and deliver a relevant quick personalized value to them. Basically its give, give and give.
3. Earn Respect : Once you do steps 1 & 2 above, you earn their respect.
