Reply:You need to be knowledgeable about your own business and interested in theirs. An impression of success, even if you haven't been in a business for very long, is advisable. If you show any negative aspects, then it is a turn-off. I have had people trying to impress me with their business, however, where I had no idea what they were talking about. Be clear, in how you talk and what you are talking about.





People make their mind up within a few seconds of meeting a person so how you look is important. Are you passionate about your own business? Can you show this without being too cocky? Don't try to be somebody you aren't though, as insincerity shows through.





When I go to networking events, I want to know immediately what the other person can do for me or what I can do for them. Business cards are essential.





All the best . . .

Reply:There are many things that impress people within a business relationship. On the other hand there are also a lot of things that 'turn them off'.





It will vary person to person, business to business. When I first engage someone in a business discussion I try to come off as friendly and knowledgeable in my field. I like the other party to be confident in what they bring to the table, but I loath *********. It all comes down to what you really know, and what you actually bring to the table.





Are you, or your business bringing something to the table that the other party lacks? If so, then you'll probably get a second meeting. If you are bringing something new, or better to the dance then you have to present yourself well. Dress nice (depending on the business, you dont have to dress over the top - just not sloppy aka board shorts and sandals--- unless your selling surfboards, then a suit might work against you)


Speak well, always look the other business associates in the eyes. And most importantly, stand by your ideas or product.


I will never do business with someone if i get the slight indication that they are not confident in what they bring to the table....


Confidence will be seen as knowledge %26amp; power- cockyness will be viewd as stupidity and weakness.





best of luck
