No one lives alone in this world. Few people can go without friends. In order to survive or succeed in the working world, we need to group together and form our network of friends and contacts. To get to know people, we always begin by introducing ourselves to each other. Therefore, introductions are important. A good introduction is a good announcement to make others know you well and a proper introduction will give others a good first impression. Studies show that people form their first impression of you within the first few seconds of the meeting – when you are introducing yourselves. Once the first impression is made, it is difficult to change. That’s why people say that you never have a second chance to make a first impression.
