How important are first impressions?

In the marketplace, I believe we would all say that first impressions make a big difference.  But not only are first impressions important with business they are just as important in our personal lives.

First impressions are previews or snippets of the whole.  It is impossible to show a person everything about who you are when you first meet them.  But if you don’t have a first good meeting, research has proven that the likelihood of having a second meeting is slim to none.
