Self-introduction is one of the things we do most when we are in contact with people.

You may not always carry your business card with you, but you must introduce yourself to others.

But will you really introduce yourself?

Do you know what a high-quality self-introduction should look like?

There are three criteria to measure the quality of self-introduction:

Can anyone remember you after you say that?

Do others know your characteristics?

Are others interested in you and start the next communication or even cooperation with you?

Reflect on your self-introduction, have you reached these three standards?

Even if you only do one thing, you have surpassed most people, because in fact, everyone can't introduce themselves, so this article will talk about how to make a high-quality self-introduction.

First of all, what you need to consider is not flowery rhetoric, amazing achievements, or a complete set of words. What you should think about most is what kind of structure you want to express.

Expressing this is the same as building a house. Beginners think about skills, while experts think about structure.

If a person builds a house, his first consideration is not the basic structure and function, such as how big it will be. How many floors will a * * * build? Is it a hospital, school or church? But first consider, what color should the wall be painted? What material is the gate made of, and whose painting is to be hung on the wall for decoration, so there is a high probability that the house will not be built well.

Again, for a master, structure is always the first, and skill is only an aid. So I will start with the structure first, and then I will make my self-introduction more exciting and show the elements and skills of flowers.

So let's talk about it first What kind of structure should we use to introduce ourselves?

Three durations and structures 1. How to introduce yourself in one sentence?

Is it possible to make an impressive self-introduction in just one sentence?

Here is a structure called "Strong Contrast", also called "Gao Fancha", which is to introduce yourself with two contrasting concepts in one sentence, which can leave a deep impression on others.

For example: "I'm from Shandong, and I can't drink."

Generally speaking, we think Shandong people like to drink. This is a stereotype, a label. When you break this label, others will remember you easily.

Similarly: "I am from Guangdong, and I don't eat from Fujian."

Of course, this is a joke.

If I introduce myself in one sentence, I will say this:

"Hello, I am a columnist who has practiced sports."

There is a dynamic and static contrast, which also belongs to Gao Fancha and is easy to remember.

This is a self-introduction in one sentence. In our study group, there are good homework. I chose five to show you:

But there is a problem that needs your attention, that is, introduce yourself in such a "strong contrast" structure, and never shape yourself in a negative direction.

What do you mean?

For example, there is a self-introduction:

"I am an emotional counselor who has never been in love."

Dude, you want to ruin your job. This is to make others question your professional ability.

This is not a good self-introduction with strong contrast.

There is also: "I am a particularly careless accountant", which also belongs to not wanting to do it. It's the same as "I was a lawyer in prison".

There are similar counterexamples in the study group, such as:

"I am a personnel who does not do personnel."

"I am a foreman who can only add and subtract integers within 10."

"I am shrouded in darkness, but I always want to give others some light."

"I am a kindergarten teacher and I can't do anything."

"I am a learner who can't learn."

"I am a financial planner who spends money without blinking an eye."

Contrast ≠ negative label

This must be remembered, especially when you introduce yourself in one sentence. Never let others question your professionalism.

2. How to introduce yourself in 30 seconds?

If you have enough time, say you have 30 seconds, how can you introduce yourself with more information?

Give you a formula: past+present+future.

For example:

"I used to be a very lazy person until I entered this book club. I am encouraged to find that so many people can study so hard. I also want to be a diligent and knowledgeable person and set up a banner. From now on, I will read a book every week, please supervise. "

You see, in this self-introduction, the way of past+present+future is used, what it was like, what touched it here, what plans it has for the future, and what connection it has with the audience.

3. How to introduce yourself for 60 seconds

After a self-introduction, how to make a 30-second self-introduction, how to make a longer version, 60 seconds, that is 1 minute self-introduction.

Let me give you a formula:

Who am I+What do I have to do with you+What am I to you?

Make a demonstration:

"Hello, I'm Ma Xujun, the most expensive business speech expert in China.

I believe you should also be interested in expression and self-improvement, then we are really fellow travelers.

My specialty is that I can get an ordinary person on the stage of thousands of people in a week and give an extremely wonderful speech. So if you need to improve your expressive ability, you can come to me and I will definitely help you. "

This is the self-introduction formula of "who am I+what's my relationship with you+what's my use to you".

60 seconds is enough.

What? What should I do if I grow up?

Calm down and introduce yourself. Sixty seconds is the limit. Talking too much is verbose, and others will not remember it. Never try to make the other person remember you by accumulating information, which will definitely be counterproductive, because the information bandwidth that the human brain can handle at a time is very limited. When introducing yourself, others will also observe your expression, makeup, clothes and other dimensions of information. If you try to cover everything, then others will hear nothing.

The above are the three structures of self-introduction, of course, there are others, but let's talk about the simple and easy-to-remember ones first, corresponding to the length of time:

In a word-"strong contrast"

30 seconds-"Past, Present and Future"

60 seconds-"Who am I+What am I to you+What am I to you?"

Wonderful elements of skills (1)

You can also introduce yourself with wonderful elements that can deepen others' impression of you.

The first is the great things you have done.

Last time I introduced myself in 60 seconds, I used this element:

"My specialty is that I can put an ordinary person on the stage of thousands of people in a week and give an extremely wonderful speech."

There are similar ones, for example,

"I once spent a year memorizing dictionaries."

"It only takes me 3 minutes to get dressed and go out beautifully every day."

It may not be a big deal, such as traveling around China and saving the world. But have a sense of story and surprise, which will not only make others remember you, but also create opportunities for others to communicate with you further.

Our study group's homework feedback is:

"hello! I am Skye. I have been running every day for 5 years and participated in 9 marathons. Running mileage can circle the earth several times. "

"hello! I'm Jonning. Let me tell you a little thing. I take my parents out every year from 20 13. Now I have never been to Antarctica, South America and the Arctic on seven continents. "

"Hello, my name is Liu Leyou. I spent a year playing a game last year and surfing the Internet in my spare time. "

There is a technical point here: this thing should show your special ability or your excellent character, be positive and impressive.

Wonderful elements (2)

There is another way to impress others with wonderful elements, besides saying the great things you have done, which is called "the best".

What do you mean? Someone left me a message backstage saying that you haven't done anything particularly powerful, so you can find yourself the most powerful label.

For example, in my self-introduction, I will say that I am the most expensive business speech coach in China, which is a memory point.

You might as well dig the most unique place in yourself as your own label.

For example,

"I am the best ppt."

"I visit customers the most."

You can even say:

"I eat the fastest."

"I am the first to come to the company."

In short, find your own "best" label, even if it is only the best of a small group of people.

Come, look at our group's homework:

"Hello, I'm Lex, and I'm the most popular monk among girls."

"I am INTJ, the smallest personality type in the world."

"I'm Wangyf, and I'm good at managing attention."

"I am the girl who does the most push-ups in our gym."

Isn't it interesting and impressive?

You may wonder, is the "best" element the same as the "great thing"?

No, the key point of this element is that your most unique features may overlap, but I will understand the most important difference by giving an example. It's also self-introduction. You can use "the most powerful" to say:

"I am the tallest in the school."

For "great things", you can say:

"I beat Yao Ming at basketball."

You got it?

Wonderful elements (3)

There is another element of good self-introduction: relevance.

Even associating yourself with an impressive event or person is a wonderful element.

For example, two days ago, I heard a self-introduction, and a friend participated in the military parade on the 70th anniversary of the National Day. Another doctor friend joined the Shanghai medical team to help Wuhan fight COVID-19.

This is the big event correlation.

What is character association? "When I used to practice sports, I trained with Liu Xiang, an Asian flying man, in a training ground."

This is the character connection.

Our group's homework is also very interesting:

"hello! I shh! I am an alumnus with Cheng Wei, CEO of Didi Chuxing. He is my brother, but I have no discount for taking a taxi. "

"Hello, I'm Liu. From small to large, I have been called' Liu Hulan'. "

"Hello, I'm Wikipedia. He has done overseas shooting modeling for more than 60 artists including Nana Ou-yang, Mr. Yu Qian, Victor Ma and Alyssa Chia. "

"Relevance", the technical point of this element, is that the people you associate with had better be known to the public recently, or known to all China people at once.

If you don't introduce yourself to insiders (academic circle, business circle, science and technology circle), and don't use celebrities who are well-known in your industry but unknown to laymen, it will be counterproductive, and the more you explain, the more confused you will be.

If you really can't find a good connection, just take your name apart and say what it is.

Of course, I'm sure you have more than one method now. The previous "best" and "great things" can be used flexibly.

The essence of "connection" is actually "flow", so don't be shy to connect with the people or things that you are most familiar with and are popular recently.

Deepening each other's memory is the purpose of self-introduction.

I wish you an impressive introduction.
