You might have passed through an experience that did leave such an imprint in your life, probably it was only a few minutes with someone or somewhere that eventually gave you a non-erasable image about them; an image that is so difficult to be changed even though if days turn out to let you know for sure how wrong or at least incomplete your initial idea was, it just never fades away completely.
Statistically first impressions hold more than 50% of the image people form for each other, So, giving a good first impression equals to winning at least 50% of your way to your speaker's heart.
But sometimes it's rather complicated to win those with everybody, because people are incredibly different with a wide variety of backgrounds, preferences and expectations which are rather hard to predict, so you find yourself with several questions like:
Should I shake hands or shouldn't I? Where to stand exactly?
How to address my speaker? Is it appropriate to tell a joke? Is it appropriate to ask this question? And of course getting that confused in the first meeting doesn't leave a good impression at all!
This book is a brief social manual with a set of simple and to-the-point rules, makes it much easier to always give good first impressions with everybody.
It covers the main principals of winning any first impression, it makes it easy to make new friends, impress anyone, be a star at the family reunion, or do impressively well in a job interview!
