How to Use Non Verbal Communication to Market Yourself

Everyone knows how important it is to speak confidently, say the right things and show interest when being interviewed or even at a meeting with clients. However, in addition to what you say, one must know that what you do also communicates volumes of information about who you really are.
Experts believe that a large part of communication occurs non-verbally. That means that even a smile on your face and the firmness of your handshake when you say, "Pleased to meet you," says more than your words alone.
Tips on How to Make a Positive Impression Non-Verbally
Remember that everything you do creates an impression:
your facial expressions
the "look in your eyes"
your eye contact (or lack of it)
your hand gestures
your posture
the way you comb your hair
the clothes (even the shoes) you wear
Making an Entrance
When entering someone's office, do not poke your head in the door. Walk in confidently. (Knock first, if appropriate)
A strong stride, a direct approach, an upright posture and a sense of energy are extremely important
Body Language
Whether talking with one person or an auditorium full of people, maintain eye contact. Otherwise the person or crowd you are addressing will definitely show no interest to what you have to say
Keep your facial expressions relaxed and friendly. The idea is to keep the listener interested and comfortable with you and what you have to say
When standing, maintain a balance to your stance. Do not slouch, or lean on things when talking to people. Always maintain an upright posture
Move purposefully; it shows confidence. Do not walk into a room for instance as though you are about to steal something or as though you do not belong there
Let your hands fall to your side after using them and avoid crossing your arms, or holding your own hands either in front of you or behind your back

Shaking Hands
Involve your entire hand in the handshake. Make eye contact; without it a handshake is half as effective
