To Be a Successful Professional

The degree of your success at a meeting will be determined somewhere in the first 30 seconds of your meeting.

A study by UCLA found that "people evaluate one another using the Three V's:
visual (appearance),
vocal (voice) and
verbal (what you say)."
That means that, while you may be able to spout out 1001 reasons as to why you're the right candidate for their "business needs," there's a lot more that goes into winning someone over.

Hence, presentation is key; even though it may taste great, you wouldn't eat something that looked like slop on a plate. The same holds true for business settings.

So now that you're ready to start wowing people, let's see if your Three V's are intact.
