Frequently Asked Questions-How successful are New Fashion Consultants?

lots-of-shoesQ.  From Raleigh, North Carolina – I Have a natural talent I would like to refine and make my dream of becoming a Fashion Consultant a reality. I would like to know how successful are Fashion Consultants that begin their own business? Do they normally succeed?

A. The answer truly depends upon the individual’s drive for success.  This industry is just 20 years old and is growing rapidly.  The demand for achieving the right image, professionally and personally, in this economy is more important than ever and the emphasis placed on image in today’s society is even further accentuated through magazines, TV, celebrities and other media outlets.

An Image Consultant with a sense of style but with no former training must work his/her way up through gaining client experience.  However a consultant who is certified by an internationally recognized program not only knows THAT it looks good but can professionally describe shop-w-friendexactly WHY it looks good and what practices may be implemented to create a diversified and sophisticated wardrobe specifically tailored to each client’s lifestyle, body type, budget and career choices.  A consultant who is new to the industry but who is certified may immediately charge a minimum of $50-$75 per hour depending upon his/her location.

We recommend enrollment in our online training program or to our 4 Week Certification Program taking place in New York, August 3 – 28.
