4. Answer the questions.
What are the best ways to make a good first impression?
First impressions impact future interactions, and those impressions are often difficult to change later. First impressions are persistent because of our cognitive biases. We see the world through our own set of filters and make decisions based on them.
All our relationships are impacted by the first impression. We can determine if the person is friendly or trustworthy.
Here are seven tips for making a good first impression.
1. Smile
A smile can put people at ease. If a smile is sincere, it can open doors and create an impression of trust. A genuine smile reaches your eyes, so you can notice if a person is smiling even if you have a mask on.
