Image Consultant | Personal Shopper | Business Image Consulting, Dublin, Ireland

It’s a widely recognised and proven fact that your image plays a huge part in what people think of you when they meet you for the first time and what assumptions they make of you.

On meeting someone for the first time, what ever the circumstances, statistics show that your image is 55% on how you dress/present yourself, followed by 38% being how you speak and then only 7% is the content of what you actually say!

We live in a highly visual world.  Think about the assumptions the world made last year when Susan Boyle first appeared on Britain’s got Talent?  So, what is your image saying about you?   Your image is talking even when you’re not. You and your business may have all the substance in the world, but if you don’t project a strong, professional image to go with it, people aren’t going to respond the way you want them to.

To back up your image, you also need a good product, extensive knowledge, and strong communications skills. Your image creates the expectation. Your substance confirms it.   Make sure your’s is first class.
