The question clearly asks about the first impression rules set goals, consider your ornaments, remember your body speaks, bust bad moods and bad days, be interested to be interesting
Answer
Thus, the most important among these would be Bust bad moods and bad days. This is because a lot of meetings or interactions can be without any purpose or goal, it is the serendipity that works there.
The same goes for ornaments, accessories, or makeup. Any hygienic demeanor can do the job and same is with body language. A confident body language would work everywhere.
But when a person has a good day and is filled with positive energy, he/she can change the environment he is in. A happy face is inviting and vibrant energy is charismatic. Thus, even if clothes and ornaments are normal, or there are no goals to be met in a meeting. Being in a good mood can help put a very good first impression
The most overlooked would be ornaments, as things have changed now. A gentle smile is more worthwhile than a Rado watch.
For example, if Mr. X has to meet an investor for his business. He should ensure to be in a good mood and positive spirits. Since, here the person to be met is decided, thus it is better to have a self-introduction ready.
Thus, intention here would be to let investor believe that Mr. X is apt for the funding and he has a jovial and energetic personality that can help him run the business better. One can appear interested by asking questions, being actively involved in the event, etc.
The question that can be asked is to know more about him, like how is he doing to start the conversation. Other than that, questions should pertain to the objective, regarding what does he look in business before investing. Listening properly and actively is necessary here
