Many women stand in front of their wardrobes and think about what mood they are in? Do they have the confidence to wear that red shirt today? How about that black understated top? Women often wonder which colours bring out their best qualities.

You've seen the positive impact that a new image can have on people. And you've seen that there is a demand for image consultants that can make a person's outer body reflect their beauty inside.

Good or bad, society these days focuses heavily on appearance. So many people get left behind because they have little or no idea of what they should wear. And when they continually struggle to dress right, they give up and don't care anymore, resulting in knock backs and damaged self-confidence.

That's why they need help from lucky people like you who have a natural flair for colours, shape, and most importantly fashion. You can transform them from a blur in the background to a walking masterpiece.

There is a demand

There are so many different reasons why potential clients might need an image consultant.

1.They could want to have a more professional image because they've got a new job.

2.Alternatively, they could be going for an interview and need some style advice to help them progress in their career.

3.They might want to find a partner, and don't have enough confidence in their appearance to approach the person of their dreams.

4.Their friends might be constantly telling them to make more effort, but they just don't know what suits them.

5.They might be stuck in the past and unable to dress their age.

The first meeting

One of the first steps is to get potential clients to approach you, whether it be over the Internet or at Beauty exhibitions, it is important to live by example. Your image needs to be perfect. It is essential to make your potential clients feel welcome and comfortable in your presence. Firstly, before any conversations can happen why not show them your business card, tell the client a little bit about yourself and have your certificates on show.

Firstly, your environment needs to represent a blank canvas; the lighting in a room must represent natural sunlight. Have a big mirror in the room so that your client can see the full length of their body.

Offer the client a drink and perhaps some snacks to create a friendly and informal atmosphere. Then explain how the session has been arranged, how long it is for and how much it will cost.

Once the formalities are out of the way, begin your consultation. Your end result is that the client will go away feeling confident and happy in what they have advised, encourage a follow up session to see how they have got on and if any further advice is needed.
