Whenever you meet someone new, what is the first thing that you instinctively do?
Shake their hand.
It has been a gesture of good will for the past one hundred years or more, and will continue to be until the end of time as far as I can tell. There are a lot of different ways that people shake each others hands I have found, but not all say the same thing.
To make the best impression, get a firm grip and shake moderately hard, but not enough to cut off circulation. Don't be the limp fish making the entire interaction uncomfortable. As you shake their hand look directly into their eyes, almost as if you are trying to look through them.
Sounds awkward and uncomfortable, but trust me you will stand out and make an impression.
