impression, you’ll be comfortable
enough interacting with others
to avoid showing traits (crossed
arms, failure to make eye contact,
etc) which can reflect negatively
on you.
FIND COMMON GROUND
Contrary
to
popular
belief,
opposites do not attract. Rather,
your average person naturally
seeks out those with similar
traits and interests. Leverage this
psychological tendency when
preparing for a meeting with a
business contact by figuring out
mutual interests.

For example, if you both admire
Casey Neistat’s work, bring it up
when it becomes relevant in your
conversation. Did you both go to
school for journalism? Express
your dismay (tactfully, of course)
with the current state of reporting
in the media. By doing this, you will
establish a rapport with whomever
you are trying to impress, thereby
increasing the odds of a positive
outcome for you in the long run.
