Time To Update Your Headshot Photo!

update your headshotHaving a photo of yourself increases your credibility significantly with people on the internet who find you. It makes you relate to it innately easier and more trustworthy. Ideally, if you have a social media presence, you’ve seen the statistics that support using an image instead of a logo. People are more likely to engage with a profile that does not have a logo but an image. This will customize your company. It reassures them that they are not just doing another faceless business with a man. A current and professional headshot will help you instantly connect and identify with your potential clients, employers and others.

It may seem obvious, but you really need to look like your headshot in order for people to relate with and trust you. An outdated photo is not going to show people that you are on top of your game.
