ARE YOU MAKING A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION ON YOUR ‘BUSINESS DATES’?

Hi all. Found an excellent article that I am sure many will relate to. Hope you get something useful out of this...

Remember back to when you were a teenager or in your 20’s, before any possible interaction with a potential girlfriend or boyfriend, you did everything you could to look your best: stylish clothes, makeup applied and a fashionable hairdo.

If you were serious about this dating thing, you really prepared yourself. You asked friends to make introductions, you researched what the object of your attention liked and studied their every move, etc.

On no account would you dare approach without putting in the appropriate amount of time and effort, preening and primping and probably rehearsing every word as you worked up the courage to make that first move.

Everything was about those first impressions; you just ‘had’ to look good in front of your prospect.

FAST FORWARD SEVERAL (OR MAYBE MANY) YEARS.

You are now the proud owner of your own business, and your desire to attract a customer is every bit as keen as that desire to attract your potential partner all those years ago.

Unfortunately, though, many Small Business owners don’t get the connection and believe that simply being in business is enough to attract clients. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Simply dressing well, having a flash hairdo and a PowerPoint presentation won’t be enough.

Your new business prospect, particularly if they are larger than you, will be sizing you up according to their own metrics.

Looks like really useful info, eh? Just click here to find out more. If you’d like to share perspectives or discuss how it relates to your business, call me on (0467) 749 378 or email me at [email protected].
