Self Imaging Makes A Difference Part.1

Today I attend a full day talk by Jill on how to transform ourself for sucesss by apperance provided by my company prudential

Statistic shown that for a first time sales appointment. 55% is done throught visual. (how we dress,style and move) 38% is on our vocal and 7% is verbal. It means to say, before we open our mouth, the client have decided to or not to do business with you.

Different age group of people, we got to act and dress different if we wants to do sales. First we got to identify our target age group.

1. Older that 40. traditional. no nonsense type.
2. 20s and above. demanding, savvy and demanding.
3. Yet to start work group (>12)

Only after identify the market a sales personal want to work in, we move on to the next level of dressing similar to them, acting and behaving in body language pleasing and acceptable.

The color of clothing's we wear make a big visual impact to the clients we meet. IF we were to dress in clothes that 'fight' or 'mismatch' client that we meet will be turn off mentally on the first meeting. (there won't be a sale made)

On the flip side, colors matched to blend and bring out the best our us will not allow us to close the sale, but at least get the 'foot in the door'

It helps to boost your confidence too!

In general, colors are not just RED,GREEN,YELLOW and so on so forth. In the context of fashion. there rosy red, maroon and the list goes on....

Take for example a red sweater with grey pants look stunning on the display. You tried it on and its look fantastic, but the price was a bit over the cliff
type. your decided to source for affordable alternative and what seem similar upon wearing created totally different effect.

Colours in general for illustration purpose can be classified under Spring, summer, Autumn & winter with a lvl 2 classification as loud or mute color. To know your own individual colors, movies stars, singers normally have what they call image consultant to handle the colors for their clothing's for them. Jill which gave us the talk is 1 such person.

From this 1 day talk of Jill, I realize that there more to sales then just look smart dress well. there's a underlaying current that can make each and everyone of us stand out.
