When it comes to selling on Zoom or selling in a virtual environment, there are a couple things that I tell people not to do. One, don't blur your background. It immediately gives you kind of like a bit of a nefarious, dodgy vibe. What don't you want me to see? Like, what do you got back there? What's happening? Second thing is, like, those really fake backgrounds, I hate them. I don't like them. Or when people have like their logo blown up to like a comical degree behind them where you can see every single, like horrendous pixel from the Fiverr logo that you got done. You cheap piece of, like, just have like a normal background and spend a little bit of money. Like, it doesn't have to be much. Get a little bookcase, get some books that you never plan to read. And from there get some little LED light strips from Ikea. Just some simple, basic, nice. It doesn't have to be anything but just have a nice professional looking background. Because like, all these little things, like, they put things into people's minds where, like, you're not necessarily opening up to them, so why should they open up to you, you know what I mean?
