But like can you have like a signature phrase or like a… Bingo.

I would take it.

I would take it.

Bingo. I'm in your inbox. They studied this and they found that there's so much noise. There's so much noise that if you can be the red apple. So this is a story. I used to be a camp counselor when I was younger. That's how I made money. And I noticed this phenomenon during break where I would bring always a basket of fruit for break. And usually it was all red apples or all green apples.

And usually it was all red apples or all green apples.

And I noticed if I had a basket of green apples and one red apple, every single camper had to have that red apple. But I would ask them, do you like the red apple better? And they'd be like, no, I just want that one because it's the only one. And I've never forgotten that in that I think that really special people, master communicators, are the red apple. They're not oranges.

They're still fitting in with everyone, but they're just like a little bit different. And that's, I think, how it should be both in business and also in romance is can you be a red apple where you're still the same? You're not like wacko crazy, but you're like a little different than everyone else. So like a bingo.

or a howdy, or an aloha, or a shalom, or whatever it is, I think that it makes you stand out just enough where you have that kind of peak effect. The peak effect is like you peaked someone's curiosity a little bit, and that that really works. That's why marketing campaigns that are a little different, they always work better.

Okay, so in Zoom and professional environments, please turn your camera on. Yep. please turn your camera on. This sounds obvious, but more and more people are turning their camera off, especially if you have back-to-back meetings. But if you can have your camera on just for the first few seconds, it is a game changer for people's perception of you.

So one is make sure that you are not accidentally negative. Here's how this happens. Can you see me? Can you hear me? Oh, oh, hi. A lot of Zoom impressions happen where someone is caught off guard or they're in the middle of like, can you see me? Can you hear me? And they're fixing themselves. And then they make a first impression. No, your first impression already happened.

It happened the moment your camera turned on. Remember your first impression on video happens the moment someone first sees you, not when you start talking. So your first impression is usually, hey, morning.

I always, I always give a wave or a hi. I make sure my camera is at least three feet away from my nose. Like I literally have measuring tape to make sure I'm not too close. I make sure that my body is angled towards the camera. And then usually I have a question ready. And here's why.
