			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="color: #000000;">Are You New to the Image Consulting Industry and Don’t Know Where or How to Start a New Business?</span> </span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://sterlingstyleacademy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Marketing-Kit-Cover-Revised-2.jpg" ><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1409" title="Sales, Marketing and Business Brand Identity Launch Kit - Sterling Style Academy" src="http://sterlingstyleacademy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Marketing-Kit-Cover-Revised-2-231x300.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="300" /></a>Launching a new <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Image Consultant Career" href="http://sterlingstyleacademy.com/blog/become-an-image-consultant/image-consultant-careers"  target="_blank">image consultant career</a></span></strong> and <a title="Image Consulting Business" href="http://sterlingstyleacademy.com/blog/effective-tips-to-on-how-to-become-an-image-consultant/am-i-ready-for-a-career-in-image-consulting"  target="_blank"><strong>image consulting business</strong></a> is one of the biggest time commitments and personal investments an individual will undertake in their life.  New image consultant business owners wear many hats; and while building your business and reputation, it may become easy to unknowingly let certain details slip through the cracks.</p>
<p>When first starting a company it is useful to have a road map to guide you toward building a successful career as an image consultant.  <strong>80% of building an image consulting business relies heavily on how you market and promote yourself and only 20% is about execution of consulting services.</strong> Therefore in order to set yourself up for success, it’s important for you to understand the fundaments of building an image consultant business and set goals for yourself to accomplish all these tasks.</p>
<p><strong>The following are steps to help you start a successful image consulting business:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1 – The Business Brand Identity.</strong> When you are first starting an image consulting business, you will need a starter business brand identity.  This includes business cards, brochures, flyers, and website.  I always recommend starting here first because every opportunity you get to meet someone new is an opportunity for you to convert someone into a new client.  If you do not have these standard marketing materials, how will anyone have confidence in your abilities?</p>
<p><strong>Step 2 – The Business Plan.</strong> Then I recommend working on your business plan.  It is very important to have a clear vision of your company and who your target audience is.  Writing a business plan from A to Z will help you understand how much money you’d like to make and how to plan accordingly to put the steps into place so that you can make your desired <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Image Consultant Salary" href="http://sterlingstyleacademy.com/blog/image-consultant-training-questions/what-is-the-typical-image-consultant-salary"  target="_blank">image consultant salary</a></span></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3 – The Marketing Plan.</strong> A marketing plan will help you define who your target demographic is and what steps you will need to take to reach your target demographic.  It will also help you further define which services you intend to offer and enable you to later define your niche as you grow your business as well as help you define your fee structure.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4 – The Sales Pitch. </strong>Once you have a better idea of the products and services you intend to offer, you need to sound like <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Image Consultant Expert Michelle T. Sterling" href="http://www.globalimagegrp.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.globalimagegrp.com');" target="_blank">an expert</a></span></strong>.  Therefore it is essential that you master your sales pitch to turn every social opportunity into a business opportunity.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5 – Further Establishing Your Credibility by Delivering Your Message to the Press. </strong>Building your credibility starts by developing a press kit.  Press kits include many things such as professional photos, your biography, and press releases.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Does this sound like a laborious process and a daunting task?  Does this undertaking sound like you need to spend thousands of dollars on a business consultant, public relations and marketing consultant, or a copy writer in order to develop professional marketing materials?  What if all of your sales, marketing and business brand identity materials were handed to you in a start-up kit that is easy to customize for your specific needs and company?</span></strong></p>
<p>At the Sterling Style Academy, we understand that you have already invested thousands of dollars in your <strong><a title="Image Consultant Training - Sterling Style Academy" href="http://www.sterlingstyleacademy.com"  target="_blank">image consultant training</a></strong> and therefore we have developed <strong>an affordable sales, marketing and business brand identity launch kit</strong>.  The Sterling Style Academy Image Consultant Sales, Marketing, Business Brand Identity Launch Kit provides you with all of the tips and tricks you need to know to survive and thrive in this competitive economy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Today, we received this email below from Tammy King, a Teacher from Texas, asking about careers as an image consultant.</strong></p>
<p>My name is Tammy King and I am a Middle School teacher in Anahuac, Texas. I teach a group of sixth and seventh grade Gifted and Talented students. We have been working on a career project for the last seven weeks. They did some personal assessments and narrowed down careers best suited for them. They have completed research papers, power point presentations, and a university visit. The culminating project is to find a professional in the career they chose. I am hoping you have someone my student can interview via webcast or phone. The young lady conducting the interview is a really bright sixth grade girl named Ximena (Hu may Na). I have been extremely impressed with her work in my class and based on the time I have known her, a career in image consulting would be perfect for her. Even though college is sometime off, I have high expectations for her! The interview will consist of 8 questions which I will attach and then I asked students to come up with two questions of their own to add. It will take approximately fifteen to twenty minutes for the interview. If possible I would like to do a webcast to add an element of technology and then the entire class could also watch as the interview takes place. If that is not possible, then a phone interview would also work. My class meets each morning from 8:00am-8:45am. I am somewhat flexible with time if this time frame doesn’t work. It would really be wonderful if someone from Sterling Style Academy would work with us! I look forward to your response.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Tammy King<br />
Teacher 6-8 Gifted and Talented<br />
Anahuac Middle School<br />
Anahuac, Texas</p>
<p><strong>Interview Questions:</strong></p>
<p>1. What are your main tasks or responsibilities at work?<br />
2. What kind of education, training, or other preparation do you need to get into an image consultant career?<br />
3. How did you get into this career as an image consultant?<br />
4. What personal characteristics are required for someone to be successful in the image consultant career?<br />
5. Have any recent changes affected your job? What changes to your career can you foresee in the future?<br />
6. What do you like most about your job and career as an image consultant?<br />
7. What do you dislike most about your job and the career you have chosen?<br />
8. What advice do you have for someone who wants to become an image consultant?</p>
<p><strong>Please see the following video below regarding the Sterling Style Academy&#8217;s answers to your questions. Thank you for your interest and feel free to post more questions regarding image consultant careers on our blog.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best regards,<br />
The Sterling Style Academy Team</strong></p>
