Another important aspect of first impression is your tone of voice. Your tone should be friendly and inviting. Even when handling a phone call, it is important to make sure that your tone is welcoming, the person on the others side should picture you smiling.

People first form an opinion about how you look, then from there, they start judging you by the words you speak. Thus, you can then imagine if your first impression was not striking then no matter how good you talk, people will have already created an opinion about who you are.
