Part of my job in the service industry is being able to form connections with some of the customers that I have in a very short amount of time. With almost all of my income coming from the impression that I make on customers, there are a lot of things that I need to be aware of. One of the most important things that I have noticed is making a good first impression, one of the best ways to do this involves the 10 tips that are given in the article. It is important to greet them with a smile and make eye contact when introducing yourself.
