Make your first 10 words count:
“Thank you for taking the time to meet with me”, “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Mr. Z”, “Dev thank you for your interest in getting together”, “Jay, thank you for suggesting we meet today”, “It’s great seeing you again”
Tune into others: Make eye contact, always wear a smile
Your expressions demonstrate the confidence you have in yourself
Be vibrant, be confident and people will respond positively
Walk with a purpose
Put some bounce into your step.
Move with vigor and vitality
Most of us enjoy being around high-energy people
Be Impeccably Groomed
Keep your hair neat and in a fashion that flatters the shape of your face
Wear jewelry appropriately to the event and situation

§ MEN: Make sure a shirt fits properly
by placing your index finger between the collar and your neck. If there is enough room to slip your finger
comfortable into the space, you are not only assured of an excellent fit, you
would also feel less compelled to unbutton the top button
MEN: when you are wearing trousers Wear socks that cover your calves when seated.
WOMEN: should be aware of poor impression made
by hosiery with runners. Always keep an
extra pair of stockings with you when going to an important event.
