~All about dressing for sales success

 

Did you know that there is a lot to say about the way a person presents themselves to another?  Did you ever think that the way that you are dressed could affect the way that you get the sale?  You will want to not only think about the way that you are dressing, but you will also want to think about things like your listening skills, communication skills, grooming, accessories, eye contact, body language and also the handshake. Keep in mind that when you are going to make a sale, rather in the board room or by going house to house, you need to make the right first impression. This means that you are going to have to learn how to dress for success. You will want to make sure that you check yourself before you walk into the board room and you will also want to make sure that you check yourself before you leave your house. You don't want to look too risky in a business deal. 

The clothes that you wear will define yourself. If you think that you are a graceful and classy lady, then you need to dress like one. If you think that you are a great sales person who knows what they are talking about, and then look the part. The first thing that you will want to think about is your grooming. This is the first thing that others will notice about you, but then it comes down to the clothes. It's very hard to dress for work at times, because there is rarely any dress code that is specific. One of the worst things that you could do is under dress. You will stick out in a negative way, however, if you are over dressed people will think about you in a way that you wouldn't want them to, but it will be in a more positive light. Keep in mind that being overdressed and underdressed can be devastating to the sale. This will make the client uncomfortable, and you really will want to make sure that you also look like you are in control and comfortable too. When the clothes don't match the event it is hard to be confident and collected. 

You will want to make sure that you give off the best impression. You will want to keep the following in mind when you are buying clothes for the office or to make a sale pitches. First, you need to understand that presentation counts and the way that you presnt yourself will say a lot to potential clients. Also, make sure that you never look sloppy, but that you are causal and in control. This means that you need to learn how to tuck the shirt in and also put the pants up. You will also want to make sure that you dress as you would like others to see you. You may want to pinpoint an outfit that will make you seem serious, professional, and in control. A lot of people are looking for that salesman who can be cool and collected under the strongest light.

Also, you need to learn how to show elegance and grace. You don't want to look like you have been standing on a street somewhere in the hills, but you will want to look like you have purchased your clothing at the most fashionable places and also that you are well put together. You will want to make sure that you seem above the normal trashy wear by finding ways to be sexy in a subtle way and not have sex written all over your outfit.
