How to Appear More Confident to Clients<\/p><\/div>\n

Whether you\u2019re making a listing presentation to potential clients or speaking in front of a group of agents, there are subtle ways to appear more confident, likable, and approachable while speaking with authority. Business strategist Marc Gordon offers these five tips that will help you \u201cfake it \u2019til you make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

1. Dress the part.<\/strong> When choosing an outfit, consider two factors: whom you\u2019re speaking to and where you\u2019ll be speaking. The audience and the setting will have a large influence on what you choose to wear. How you dress when presenting at a trade show will likely differ from meeting a client at a construction site.<\/p>\n

2. Stand up straight.<\/strong> \u201cProper posture will make you look poised and give the impression of authority,\u201d Gordon says. \u201cWhen seated, be relaxed and comfortable, but don’t slouch.\u201d Tips for sitting\u00a0at a table: Leaning in with your arms resting on the top will make you appear interested, while leaning back will make you appear approachable and relaxed, Gordon says.<\/p>\n

3. Stay cool and calm.<\/strong> Sometimes emotions can get the best of people, especially when a deal doesn\u2019t work out in their favor. If a meeting with a client\u00a0gets heated, acknowledge the situation, but don\u2019t allow your emotions to run hot, too. \u201cStay calm and objective, and never get personal,\u201d Gordon says. If needed, take a short break.<\/p>\n

4. Listen.<\/strong> Make sure your\u00a0nonverbal cues reflect that\u00a0you\u2019re hearing your clients. Eye contact shows you\u2019re listening, as does a head nod or smile. Even when speaking to a group, it\u2019s good to make random eye contact with people, Gordon says.<\/p>\n

5. Remember what makes you great.<\/strong> You\u2019ve built your skills and have become an expert; now it\u2019s time for you to accept it. \u201cWhile a group of investors or potential customers can seem intimidating, remember that they experience the same challenges as you. They also get nervous, experience stress, have a fear of failure, and want to be liked,\u201d Gordon says. It\u2019s also important to recognize that if someone in your meeting comes off as aggressive or arrogant, it\u2019s not confidence but an overcompensation for fear. \u201cIf you can be the one to demonstrate that everyone is welcome, all ideas are valued, and no one will be judged, then you will emerge as the natural leader you were meant to be,\u201d Gordon says.<\/p>\n
