Proper Model Handshake

So to be a professional model, you must be fit, not weak, you have to be strong. And the way to leave a lasting impression as a strong professional model is a good hand shake. Now I'm talking about put your hand out there, give them one shake, don't pump it for a long time, people don't like that, and it leaves a bad lasting impression. Also, you want a firm handshake, one time, firm, not limp so that it's a dead fish, and people remember you as a weak person. This is part of your personality, you know. So give them a firm, one time shake, not on and on and on so that it wears them out and leaves a bad lasting impression. Okay, so as a professional model, you know that it's important to have a firm handshake, one shake instead of many, and in this next clip I'd like to leave you understanding how to leave a final last impression as a professional model.
