Wear a smile to work! Of course you could just walk around looking sour, like you’ve been sucking a lemon, because that’s attractive.  Do you really want customers to think you’re a buzz-kill with a bad personality? Or would you rather have everyone fall just a little bit in love with you? Customers will size you up in about 3 seconds so use your smile to make a great first impression and win them over.

What does your smile say about you?            

Closed lips – This smile says back off; you aren’t completely comfortable. It’s like holding someone at arm’s length.

The Empty Smile – Seems real, but it doesn’t reach the eyes. This smile is like a mask, someone’s withholding something…Be warned.

There and Gone Smile – A quick flash and then it’s gone.  Sound suspicious? This is a genuine smile often used by shy people who haven’t decided if you’re o.k. yet.

The Laughing Smile – An extraordinary thing! It’s wholehearted and often with a laugh.  This is person loves life; nothing much worries them.

The Sad Smile – Not really a smile but an upturning at the corners of the mouth, an outward expression that something is wrong.  Someone who wears this look can bring everyone in a room down.
