DO I KNOW YOU...?

KemiStyle attended yet another business networking event today, which brought on the inspiration for this blog.

Have you ever attended a networking event, collected a bunch of business cards, and when you go through them the next day, you can't remember who many of them are? Or try to think of someone you met and had a conversation with, but you can't remember their name or their business to look them up?

Well, you certainly don't want to be one of those that other people can't remember, do you? It would just reinforce the fact that you are not fully utilising your 'Impression Management'.
Remember to be distinctive, and stand out from the crowd, in those all important 7 seconds.

I would recommend doing this by wearing a fabulous outfit, or even just a brightly-coloured tie, an unusual necklace or piece of other jewellery, or even just impeccable grooming. Anything that helps people separate you from the crowd. I'm not saying you have to be outlandish (although some people work that very well), just ensure you are the one person they can recognise, even when your shopping in Tesco!
