How to Impress Anyone

The first few seconds of a first encounter are driven by instinctive reactions. This means that you need to be aware of your body language and tone. People are more drawn to enthusiasm and confidence than arrogance and impatience. You should also feed expectations which means that it is not the time to surprise the other person with a different side of your personality. If you can get the other person talking and keep them talking, odds are they'll be drawn to you. Be interested and open-minded; ask questions that spark their imagination and ignite conversation. On the side of appearance, it is best to overdress than underdress, even though you see all those new hires at web development companies wearing jeans and hoodies. Treat every connection you make as if it's the most important thing you've ever done. Because, frankly, you never know when it actually will be.
