What Does it Mean to “Dress for Success”?

Welcome back friend! I hope that you are enjoying my e-newsletter! If you haven't subscribed yet, it's just a click away. I'd love to hear from you!We don't sell, rent, share your information ever. Thanks for stopping by!


When you have direct sales business, if you are serious about building a strong team, we need to do a check up from the neck up and back down again! Did you know that you do not make a great team, you find them ! As a team builder it is your job to provide an environment where they can see the abundance and grow personally and professionally on their way to the top! Don’t ever forget that your team is watching what YOU do! Are YOU professional at all times in YOUR business?

When we work from home, it is easy to become comfortable in our casual clothes all the time. Now is an excellent time to pick up some professional looking outfits and accessories while they are on “After Christmas” sale! When you are seeing clients, or potential clients, it may take a few extra minutes to prepare, but looking professional will make such a difference for you! It can increase sales, and even inspire others to emulate you! (This also includes the image that you portray when you are doing a video that is used for training!)

• How is your hair? Has anyone said lately, What a great cut! If not, go to the best stylist you can find and get it done! This is well worth the money spent.

• What is the look of your best business suit? Is it out date? Does it fit? You are making a statement … what is it? I’d rather have one suit that is ‘slammin,’ than a closet full that doesn’t make me feel like a million!

• Shoes and hose … Are they comfortable? Attractive? Good condition?

• Make Up … who is especially good with product in your area? Ask for advice or have a sister consultant do a makeover. Make sure you look your absolute best!!!

• Personal … have you had your teeth cleaned recently? What do your fingernails and toe nails look like? Having a regular manicure and pedicure should be in your budget as a business woman. How is your breath? Do you carry breath mints with you when you go to conventions or seminars?

• What does your ink pen look like? Brief case or folio? Purse?

• What are your business card being carried in? How accessible are they?

• Are your earrings outdated? Cheap? Too big? Other jewelry? Too much, too little? Go for classic! If you are not sure, less is better.

  • When using social media, your photo is most important. Use a recent photo, and remember to smile. People start to identify with you if you look friendly and approachable!

Take an honest look at yourself and ask the opinion of a ‘classy’ friend who will tell you the truth. Appearance is the first element a person has to judge whether she wants to do business with you. You will get a chance at ‘heart’
later, but first your look will sell or send! Take a close look at yourself and dress for success. Remember, you will never have a second chance to make a first impression!
