Communication begins before you speak.
Is it possible to start communicating before uttering a word? Surprisingly, communication takes more than just words. Communication takes three things: a physical appearance, monetary possessions, and verbal words. Communication via body and money is particularly important when meeting someone for the first time. The first few seconds of wordless communication determine first impressions, and you have a higher chance of making a good first impression if you are groomed and well dressed. In fact, if you fail to communicate on the physical and monetary level, you may not even get the opportunity to exchange words. No matter how good the person may be at heart, you may not want to learn more about the person without a good first impression. This book focuses on the body language that other communications books fail to address and guides readers to win hearts.
