When Do You Need To Update Your Headshot?

Friendly smiling manWith a snapshot of yourself, your popularity for people on the Internet is greatly increased. It makes it innately safer and more trustworthy to link to. Hopefully, if you’re involved in social media, the numbers are accompanied by a video, rather than a logo. People interact more often with a photography profile than with a brand. It makes the company customized. It reassures them not just another faceless business, but they are doing business with a human. A trustworthy and present headshot can help your potential customers, clients and others interact and recognize automatically.
