Turn on that video camera, make eye contact, get the lighting and background right and learn to elevate your virtual presence – just as you would dress appropriately for an in-person meeting – neatly pressed business jacket and a well-planned space for the meeting. You don’t show-up to an in-person meeting wearing a wrinkled shirt, so don’t ignore your lighting, camera position, and background in the virtual world. 

Know their expectations – you have 5 to 7 seconds to make an impression – to establish your credibility, expertise, and make a connection.

Get ready for the change – camera on, great lighting, background, and virtual presence will be just as important as being professionally dressed – business jacket, tie, etc...

You wouldn’t hold a meeting with a client/potential client in a cluttered office or leave the lights turned-off!
