Here is my analysis, with relations to game:
Common non verbal mistakes:
1. Eye contact - 2/3 fail to make eye contact.
I get it. You are anxious and afraid. Look her in the eye.
This was dealt with so many times.
2. Little knowledge of the company - for me this means "cold reading".
Boosts your value, since you can show that "you know her".
3. Don't smile - for me it's about smiling "adequately" (not all the time, but no strait face all the time).
4. Bad posture - Nothing to add here.
5. Fidget - something that we do unintentionally. Shows that you are nervous.
Use Alpha posture and don't do it.
6. Play with hair/touch their face/cross their arms - same category as fidegeting.
7. Too many hand gestures - It's easy when you "get into the groove" to over do it. Especially true when you are starting. You get excited that it is working. Keep calm.
First impression:
1. The way you dress - Nothing to add here.
2. Quality of voice/grammar/confidence - I think this is more important than the 38% stat that was put there.
3. The words - Again, I think that they are more important than "7%". But less important than the how.
Impact on first impression:
1. Too trendy - my understanding that it is "how you fit the environment".
Running game in a suit at a mall might be the wrong thing to do.
2. Clothes can be a deciding factor - Agreed. That is why "Context is king". If you fail at approaching, and you feel you have a solid approach, check the wardrobe.
I left out the weak handshake, since I fail to see how it apply.
PS
No source on the stats apart from the line stating that the survey had 2000 hiring managers. Needs validation.
