Your First Impression is Your Last Opportunity

Yesterday, I met one of my mentol, he said a word; " Your First Impression is Your Last Opportunity ", this word was very impress me

Ya, we have to agreed that people(The person you first meet especially prospect) will never give you a opportunity/chance to create "Second First Impression".

According to the article wrote by Cherese Jackson, Virginia Beach Leadership Coach (November 07, 2011 ) said that "No matter who you are, you have at some point in time purchased products based on their brand; items such as clothing, sneakers, electronics and even food to name a few. In other words you have made decisions among competing brands while ultimately choosing some brands over others because of an impression even before an actual experience.
What does this all mean? As an individual, you must acknowledge that you are a brand. And who better to market your personal brand than you. This means that at the end of the day, the success of your personal brand lies in your hands.
Even though your appearance is a part of your impression it’s not the only thing, which matters. Your impression means your overall personality and it consists of the following:

1. The way you carry yourself
2. The way your dress
3. The way you express yourself
4. Your mannerism
5. Your behavior
6. Your communication
7. The way you treat others
   These all are the traits which consist of impression and are all relative to each other."
