You should also bring a quality and nice-looking pen with you to meetings or networking events. By using a quality pen, you will further come across as professional. Don’t bring a pen that you would normally use during work (unless, of course, you use high-quality pens during your day).

Buy a nice pen that you designate as your “networking pen” and only use in networking environments or situations that you want to come across as very professional. Impressions make a difference in how people perceive you and ultimately decide on whether to do business with you.

Obviously a pen alone won’t be the ultimate deciding factor in how you come across. It’s your entire appearance that portrays you to others. Make sure you have all of the details covered.

Final Thought

Your appearance is one of the first aspects others will judge about you. Don’t let your clothing and other related items prohibit your networking and relationship building.
