Signs of Professionalism From Sign Making Professionals Creating the Handshake 2.0
Where did your last friendly handshake come from?
Was it at a meeting? A business lunch? A formal gala? If your handshakes are only reserved for these occasions then you may want to extend your reach a little farther. A warm friendly greeting is basis of a great first impression. That first impression often leaves a lasting impression on those you meet. Now with the world becoming more connected that “1st handshake” may take on a different form than what you expect. It may be a referral from existing client, welcoming entrance-way signage, or through a Like/Follow on a social site . Creating that memorable greeting is what is most important. Its a sign of what can be expected of you. Professionalism and courtesy count! Try finding new ways to tell everyone how much you would like to meet them.
Four Ways Your Business Can Make An Impactful First Impression
-
Ensure your entrance-way is clear and inviting.
-
Find out if your business is visible during daytime, twilight and late night hours.
-
Look at neighbouring businesses and take note of what the busy ones are doing differently. See if their strategy would work for you.
-
Ask your current customers how they first found out about your business and focus your efforts on what is working.
Just for fun I thought I would throw in this funny video from the always entertaining kitestring studio . This skit was originally created for the 140 Characters Conference but because of its popularity it was recorded and screened at Tweetstock. The video has a funny take on how the handshake could become an unknown greeting to those immersed in the world of social media, but at the same time it gives you a great first impression of the Kitestring team and what a wonderful, creative group they are.
