How To Make A Good Impression On Your Clients When Meeting Them In Person by goldincome(m): 1:23pm On Sep 04, 2008
You are meeting one of your customers in person, you will want to make a good impression (unless you are trying to lose your job with them that is). When trying to make a good impression you will want to focus on your personal image and how you will come off to your client. The impression that the customer will leave the meeting with will be made up of the follow factors : the way that you dress, your body language, and your attitude.

You will want to ask yourself how conservative your clothes need to be for each particular customer. I always wear professional attire when I am meeting with a client. Unless there is some information that you have gotten from the customer that makes you believe that he is against professional clothing, I would say to go with a professional appearance. In other words, wear a suit if you’re a guy, and choose a conservative color as your choice, such as dark gray or black.

If you are a woman, then you should wear a conservative colored business suit as well. You can wear a suit skirt or slacks, as both are just as dressed up as the other. Make sure you wear a white shirt, female or male, and your tie (for a male) should be something that is a plain color (no neon please) without a pattern.

Here are some more hints on what is considered professional attire:

Don’t wear anything with large or bold prints, or that have glitter and shine, or even trim. This includes shoes, accessories, and clothing.
Don’t wear sandals, white shocks, fishnets, shoes that need to be shined, tennis shoes, gaudy looking makeup, too much jewelry, and skirts that are not knee length.
No tight clothes or overly revealing clothes. You don’t want to give the wrong idea.
Do not wear more than one earring in each ear; only wear two rings per hand.
Make sure that your colors coordinate and match.
Don’t put on heavy perfume or cologne as your client might be allergic or just offended.

Your body language is watched by others, and it will convey a lot about you and how you feel. Be aware of that language and try to show that you are happy and confident, not fearful or nervous. Your clients will watch closely to figure out your body language so that they can respond in the correct manner as well.
