Post the Correct Image
The first opportunity you have to communicate these qualities to your customers is online via your business headshot. These are also called business portraits, corporate headshots, executive portraits, professional headshots, executive photos, and commercial headshot. What type of feeling do you leave in the mind of your audience, now that everybody’s profile and webpage is in the limelight? Posting a snapshot from a fun night out on the town may be well intended. Sometimes however it doesn’t convey the degree of professionalism required to attract customers.
