How to Make a Valuable First Impression

Have you ever experienced love at first sight?

You were enamored. You were captivated.  You hung on every word, and everything about him or her was wonderful.

Everyone who came before and anyone to come after was irrelevant. The only people that mattered in that moment were you and that other person.

This is fascination at its purest state. When you are able to fascinate others, barriers drop. When you fell in love for the first time, you couldn’t think about loving anyone else. When you captivate someone like this, they are more likely to believe you, trust you, and take action on what you say.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could make others fall in love with us like this all the time? An instantaneous connection that lasts for days, months, even years?

Each time you walk into a room you exude a certain impression. This simple first impression forms the basis of people’s perception of you.

How can you use your primary Trigger to make a more valuable impression when you meet someone new?
