First<br />

Impressions<br />

communications and the manner of which that re-<br />

First impressions are everything! Especially in business! You would not give<br />

a job to someone who came for a job interview in shorts and t-shirt for reasons we all<br />

know. It shows sloppiness, a lack of effort and no motivation to impress. So, this is why<br />

it is important that the first impression your company makes is a good one. With a business,<br />

there are many ‘first impressions’ that can happen when someone discovers your<br />

company and it is paramount that you know what they are.<br />

Your website is a good place to start. There sponse is given. This one should be an obvious<br />

are so many websites out there that take an age<br />

to load or are just vague and unhelpful. It is important<br />

to have a user friendly website that is appealing,<br />

keeps to your branding and is informative yet<br />

not bogged down with highbrow wording. Precise,<br />

clean and easy to use is the key! Logos must be<br />

crisp and high quality; coloring and fonts must be<br />

consistent.<br />

Another first impression is response in<br />

one to all but, I am always surprised when I call an<br />

office and come<br />

across<br />

someone<br />

on the other<br />

end of the phone<br />

whose manners<br />

are not up to<br />

scratch and they<br />

seem<br />

purposefully<br />

obtuse and<br />

unhelpful.<br />

This<br />

loses business!<br />

All phone staff<br />

need to be properly<br />

trained so<br />

they know how to handle questions and know who<br />

to put the customer through to for different inquiries.<br />

Messages should be taken, passed on and<br />

then acted upon in the quickest of time. This builds<br />

trust and confidence. The same goes for email replies<br />

– fast, to the point and professional.<br />
