Introducing yourself

Introducing yourself the right way can change everything

Introducing yourself is something you have been doing since you were little.  From the most basic grades at school to your entrepreneurial career, we simply never cease introducing ourselves.  It’s necessary and important. But are we doing it the right way?

 

Allow yourself to be you

We sometimes take the simplest route.  We present ourselves with a safe statement, may it be our careers, companies we work for, or something easy to relate to.  This may be due to being humble or a fear of people getting to know the real you, but if you allow yourself to be you at the moment of introducing yourself, you can reap greater benefits and make better connections right off the bat.

 

Say something different while introducing yourself

Introducing yourself with a distinctive feature can help you be more salient, showing that you are not just another entrepreneur.  You will have an identity and you are confident enough to be out there showing your true colors, something that can generate trust in others, who will see you as someone that they can trust to be honest and direct.

 

Introducing yourself

 

You are great, let them know it

Sure, you shouldn’t brag, but don’t be shy.  Share some of the stories of your success, or even better, ask someone to talk about you.  It can even be a coworker or a friend. Psychologically the effect of someone giving a reference is much greater than talking about ourselves.  You can introduce the person who will be working with a client by mentioning how long the person has been in the business or how reliable the individual is, making clients feel at ease and boosting your staff’s morale by recognizing them publicly.

 

It can be hard to expose personal details, but you can start with something simple and work your way up with more personal details such as the things you like to do, or even a funny anecdote.  The key is to be bold and not be afraid of introducing yourself and others with more details and personalization, making yourself unforgettable.
