Picture yourself as a salesperson, in whatever the pendulum of life tilted you to, each moment you meet with people and express your thoughts and opinions, either on personal, social, or general subjects.

Just like how you furnish your profile, organize your works, choose a niche, techniques you use in writing your works, engage other people’s content and leave a comment below their works. All this justifies how people perceive you and your work, here on Medium.
Whenever we interact with people for the first time, our looks give them the first impression. Just like selling a product, the physical outlook or design of the product creates a first perspective in the mind of the buyer.
For example, when buying a suit or gown or jewelry, before thinking of how much it would cost, you have to be sure that what you see aligns with your desires and that it looks just the way you want it, beautiful! or Awesome!
Followed by how we speak, what we say, and how we craft what we say, these three regulate the first impression that has been conceived by the other person after judging you by your looks.
Now with your words, you have adjusted the first impression of looks either positively or negatively.
Just like introducing a new product to a prospect, how you craft your speech around the product and the words you adopt to persuade them to buy will determine whether they will fulfill your wishes or dash along.
Now that you've introduced yourself with words, it has sold you further to what more people can say about you.
However, your behavior and gestures add a lot to the list. Your behavior and gestures could sell you to people even without getting to see you speak.
It is important to know that in the face of reality, we are all salesmen trying to mold and shape our personalities into fine, beautiful impressions, just like designing a product to attract people's attention, so that people can buy into whatever it is we say.
I guess you never knew yourself as a salesperson, until now! It’s not bad.
