91. What to do before an introduction

“Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.” -Dale Carnegie

What to do before an introduction:

  • Treat them as though they are the most important person in the world. Because to them they are.
  • Consider where the other person is coming from.
  • When we see people for the first time we make an impression of them. That is important because it tends to last.
  • The first thing people see is your eyes.
  • Show you interest in them by opening your eyes a little wider than normal. That tells people you are glad to see them and makes them feel important.
  • Smile a little bigger than you feel like. If it’s a little uncomfortable that’s good. People won’t perceive it wrong unless it’s past the point of sincere. A smile says I’m glad you’re here.
