Make an Unforgettable First Impression by Writing “Did You Know?”
The first impression is difficult because you want to not only make a good impression, but also make an unforgettable impression. If you want to stand out from the crowd, give them some knowledge to chew on.
At Fast Company, Annette Grant, CEO of Executive Speaking, Inc. , encourages you to offer them an interesting fact or useful information that they probably haven’t heard of before. Just make sure it doesn’t appear out of nowhere. After all, to make a good first impression, you need to interact with them, not impress with your knowledge or random facts. Your best bet is to share your thought-provoking “did you know?” to the situation, to yourself or to the person with whom you are talking, if possible. If you find a way out, take it. Now you will be remembered as the person who taught them something interesting, and not as “the person whose hand I shook”.
