What Does Your Image Say About You?
We are all working so hard in our careers these days. The amount of ungodly hours spent perfecting our products, honing our craft and making our services more efficient is astounding. You’ve invested more time & energy in your business than even your own personal relationships in most cases. Thousands of dollars are allocated for the perfect logo, brand identity and packaging. So, after all this hard work, why do so many people neglect the #1 marketing tool that represents them best? YOURSELF!
It never ceases to amaze me how many people will show up looking disheveled and sloppy to a networking event or an important meeting. There is so much competition these days and the best way to easily set yourself apart from the crowd is by polishing your personal attire. It really is as simple as that. My dear friend, Michelle Burke, has consulted for dozens of the most successful Fortune 500 companies in the world and sums this concept up in one powerful sentence … Make it as easy as possible for someone to tell you “YES!”
How brilliant. Creating a solid image as a modern, sophisticated and successful professional who takes pride in themselves is a direct reflection as to the level of care & detail of the product or service you are selling. If you walk into an interview or an important meeting by projecting yourself as a sophisticated leader in your field … people will believe you! You will easily grab their attention in the most positive of ways, and then you can close the deal with your winning business idea, articulate pitch & expert solutions. BAM! Who is your competition now? No one.
Whether you are a baby boomer who needs to stay relevant amongst your 20 & 30-something colleagues or an entry level grad wanting to be taken seriously amongst the industry veterans, keeping a sophisticated polished image is the easiest way to succeed. People want to associate with winners & holding yourself to all aspects of excellence will ensure you reach your goals both professionally & personally locksmithspros.com residential locksmiths. Now, go claim that fabulous job or relationship that is rightfully YOURS!
So true Laurie! I needed this reminder. Going to print it and post in my closet. Our career wardrobe is so important, but it’s easy to get lazy with it. I am still wearing a few pairs of work pants I’ve had for 10 years!! Time to toss those bad boys. I need some good recommendations for work day outfit planning.
Great blog. Write more please. 🙂
