Have a Winning Smile!

"Smile and the world smiles too."

There's nothing like a smile to create a good first impression. A warm and confident smile will put both you and the others at ease. So smiling is a winner when it comes to great first impressions. But don't go over board with this - people who take this too far can seem insincere and smarmy, or can be seen to be "lightweights".

Be Positive

Your attitude shows through in everything you do. When you are hiring new staff remember you can teach the how to of a role but attitude comes from the person and only they can change it. So surround yourself with people who possess a positive attitude, you will be well rewarded.

Planning for First Impressions

You have just a few seconds to make a good first impression and it's almost impossible to change it. So it's worth giving each new encounter your best shot. Much of what you need to do to make a good impression is common sense. But with little extra thought and preparation, you can hone your intuitive style and make every first impression not just good but great.
