Body Language

I think Nicholas Boothman's book, "How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less," should be required reading for every sales person. He says that the first few seconds are critical to create the perception that you are sincere, safe and trustworthy. He outlines five steps to an effective introduction.

  1. Start with a positive attitude. Check your body language to make sure that's what you convey. Keep your heart aimed at the person you're meeting. Whenever possible, unbotton your jacket or coat.
  2. Be first with eye contact. Look this new person directly in the eye. Use your eyes to reflect your positive attitude. Look at the other person long enough to see the color of the person's eyes.

The magic of words lies in their ability to dance off the page and paint vivid pictures in our minds. Whether it’s a fleeting thought or a deep reflection, every sentence carries its own rhythm, like a heartbeat echoing across the digital universe. Here’s to the writers who weave dreams with their keystrokes and the readers who bring those dreams to life. Keep creating, keep inspiring—the world needs your voice. 🌟 darknet sites
