Selling Body Language

Body language is all about selling yourself. What are you are selling? Hiring choices in companies are often made based on body language. Nonverbal cues are estimated to have over four times the impact of verbal cues on the impression you make. The impression you make on others can have ramifications for years to come. The ‘universal sign’ of acknowledgement is said to be the ‘eyebrow flash.’ You can raise an eyebrow slightly or open your eyes a bit more than normal to simulate the ‘eyebrow flash.’ No surprise, smiling is another positive nonverbal. A genuine smile indicates friendliness, approachability, and an invitation to converse. Naturally, raising an eyebrow or offering a genuine smile is predicated on whether or not one’s face lift or Botox injection permits that much facial movement. If not, you’ll need to rely more on how you dress and other nonverbals such as the amount of warmth in your tone of voice, position of arms and legs, or the quality of your handshake or fist bump.
