What can you do to stand out right now? If you’re saying you don’t want to stand out and you’re in the business of helping other people look and feel beautiful (not cute!) You are your business and after spending 10+ years working with some of the most glamorous stars in the world. I’ve learned the benefits of “Putting On The Glitz” in the Beauty/Fashion business. Get ready to market, sell & build a recognizable brand. First things first if you want customers and clients to remember you. “Be You For A Living”. That’s right stop trying to be like everyone else. Its okay to model a successful business model but approach your business like you would your wardrobe. Develop your own individual style. Standing out is always a good thing. You have to believe in your product or service. If you’re not sold yourself, how do you expect other people to buy? It’s time to shine in the 21st century. I see so many businesses that could use a makeover. If you’re thinking about Puttin On The Glitz, make your marketing sizzle & become a sales superstar. “Puttin On The Glitz” with customers means giving them great service & 100% of your attention, and I mean 100% when services are rendered. Develop awesome listening skills; most people are not truly good listeners. Customers want to be heard and if they feel like you’re not listening. They might not buy again. I have found that you gain much more from being a great listener than being a great talker. Be interested in your customers and come from a place of service. The fortune is in the follow up. Create a stellar follow up system. Studies show, 67% of people do not follow up in business. Did you know that most sales are not closed until the 8th, 9th or even 10th attempt; very few transactions are closed on the first few attempts, and yet only 3% of sales people follow-up more than twice. If doesn’t matter if you’re a Makeup Artist, Fashion Designer , Beauty Writer, Skin Care Expert or Hair Stylist, if it involves making a sale, signing that contract, or building relationships, the best way to stand out from the crowd is to follow-up promptly (72 hours is the golden rule), follow-through, and be persistent and determined. Don't let rejection take you off the road to your success!" “Puttin On The Glitz” in your business is building a stellar reputation by not only following up but also by taking the time to respond to people who leave you messages. Courtesy is tres chic. If you are a Beauty/Fashion professional who is struggling to understand the ins and outs of marketing, branding and selling in a wholesale/retail world that is completely new and foreign to you and would love to shorten the learning curve. It’s time to put on the glitz. “Puttin On The Glitz” means being consistent and taking on tasks that will only enhance & take your business to the next level. The people who stand out from the crowd take the time to respond. How beautiful is that?
