With every new encounter (with clients, customers or potential employees) a person is evaluated and another person’s impression of them is formed. A first impression can be nearly impossible to reverse or undo, making first encounters extremely important because they set the tone for the relationships that is to follow.

It is important to know how to create a good first impression. Sales and marketing firm Monarch Movements provide some useful tips to help a person do this.

• Shift the spotlight to others - tell other people what they did well. This will make them feel accomplished and more important.
• Never practice selective hearing - people who make a great first impression listen to everyone, regardless of their position.
• Choose your words - the words that a person uses can impact the attitude of others.
• Readily admit your failings - always be humble. Successful people are incredibly genuine which makes them remarkably charismatic.
