Karen was telling me about a man she saw at the gym the day before. He was so handsome, she said. She went on to describe his flowing hair, piercing eyes, and great body. But then I saw... She paused as she scrunched up her face. ...he was wearing a fanny pack. StoppingPower.net Forums - fanny pack:: I see it this way; if you are wearing a fanny pack in the same place as me, I'll notice you. I might not make you as carrying, but you grabbed my attention http://www.stoppingpower.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6804&whichpage=4HOME |
I laughed out loud. (A fanny pack, for those who dont know, is basically a belt bag. Its often used by tourists, and it is definitely considered as utility over fashion.) Karen, who likes to call herself the Fashion Police, immediately altered her high opinion of this otherwise perfect man.
So this got me thinking. What are we doing with our businesses that, although it may seem small and unimportant, can change the opinions of our prospects, sometimes without our even knowing? Every part of your business must live up to your professional image. Even a small detail overlooked can damage your reputation. Are you ignoring any aspects of your business?

Below, Ive listed business elements that are often overlooked or given little attention. Make sure you take care with all of these areas.
* Website
Does your website look like an amateur designed it? If you are not an expert on web design and hosting, find someone who is. A professional website is a must to compete in todays marketplace.
* Answering Machine
If you cant answer the phone in person, does your recording sound professional and cheerful? Do you get back to people quickly?
* Receptionist / Greeter
There nothing more irritating than being treated badly by a salesperson or receptionist. Do the people who come into contact with your prospects live up to your desired image?
* Contracts
Just because youve gotten a sale, your professionalism should not end. Your contracts need to reflect your company image, or you can lose future sales or cause buyers remorse.
* Portfolio
I was recently in a small furniture / accessory store when another customer asked the store owner to see her portfolio. The owner pulled out a wad of 4X6 photos from a desk drawer and spread them on her cluttered desk. This is how she tries to get design projects? Although her store had beautiful items, her portfolio (which showed a lack of pride in her work) was a fanny pack that Im sure turned many prospects away.
* Your Appearance
What is your desired business image? Professional? Wild? Creative? Does your physical appearance match it? If not, prospects will have a hard time getting past that, and you will appear less credible.
Remember: If you are overlooking any area of your business, you can be sure that prospects will notice. Everything you put out there needs to be as fabulous as you!
I wish you continued success.
