You only have four seconds to make a great first impression and an image consultant can help you make this first impression great.
As an image consultant, people can get advice that will help them achieve what they want – whether it is to get a new job, to make a good impression, or simply to feel good about themselves. To help people look better, you might choose to offer services such as:
- Image Analysis or Makeover Consulting (giving someone feedback on the overall image they are projecting and helping them develop a new image)
