Why Consider Your Professional Colors?

Every morning we as professionals stand at our closet and decide what to wear for that day’s work. We often choose what we will wear as we have in mind who you are meeting for established appointments. But then there is the factor of the unknown.

First Impressions

You know that in 20 seconds those prospective clients will form their opinion of you by your appearance. Too bad you don’t have some X-ray vision to know their personalities to know the best way to approach them with your attire. But wait! Is there a tool you can put into your professional tool box to help you prepare?

Yes! Knowing your seasonal color palette and understanding how individuals will respond to what you are wearing is a great tool for giving you the best leg up in that first 20 seconds of selling yourself with your best nonverbal message.

Combatting Unintentional Intimidation with your Professional Colors

For example: I worked with a gentleman who is a mortgage broker. He is very tall, large boned, and bold in his speech. I can attest to this individual being very knowledgeable and kind, looking out for his client’s best interest. His concern when we met was how to appear less intimidating to his prospects as well as new clients.

After having a color session with me he learned his best selection when choosing sport jackets, slacks, fabric textures as well as the best color combinations for the visual message of his friendliness and caring.

Professional Color Analysis for a New Business

And what about starting a new business? Is it beneficial to have one’s color analysis done? A recent client of mine thought so. This entrepreneur was concerned about how to create a brand color pallette that would best represent both his business and himself personally to his prospects and clients. There was a need to select the correct business card design & color combination, which is a vital step when creating a brand for a new business. Also, understanding how best to appear knowledgeable and caring made a big difference to this new business owner. After experiencing a color consultation, the correct color choices now come with ease and a feeling of confidence of putting the best foot forward wearing the colors that have been selected for the company logo as well as company uniform shirts.
