| 1. Be confident, smiling, and friendly. It also helps to the polished and articulate - I remember one particularly impressive tour guide that left me thinking "Wow, it would be great if this college can transform kids into people as well-spoken as she is."
2. Avoid wearing extremes of fashion. I've heard of more than one girl reject a college because she didn't like what the tour guide was wearing.
3. Adjust your tour to the audience. Scan over the group and see what you've got, and chat with them a little bit to find out their interests. Try to figure out what programs or places might be of particular interest to them rather than just give them the standard, canned tour. |
