Is this class for you?

You helped your client create her personal style recipe. You developed rapport in that first appointment by listening to her needs, creating objectives, and agreeing on a plan. Good job! Now it's time to head into the closet and make some magic happen! While keeping to her style recipe and reviewing the clothes she already owns, you're going to come up with looks that "wow" her when you learn the step-by-step process to closet success.

There's a lot to consider and a lot that could go wrong. What if she doesn't have the right ingredients to make those great looks that match her style words? What if everything in there is outdated and needs replacing? How do you handle a closet that's fuller than a boutique? Have you promised over the phone that you’d clean it out in that first visit? What do you do when that's impossible?

Get all your questions answered and more in Closet Magic where you'll learn how to take this client from one successful appointment into another. Become the confident consultant you want to be. This is Unit Two in the Brenda Kinsel education series for professionals seeking career success as personal image consultants.

Course overview

This workshop helps image consultants master the closet appointment while practicing rapport-building skills that creates a client for life. Brenda says, "There’s so much that can be done in closet visits that will make your client so happy and eager to continue working with you. This class will teach you the skills you'll need to work with various style recipes, closet scenarios, and different client personalities while continuing to market your services into the right 'next' appointment for her. "

You will learn...

In this 8 session teleseminar you will learn how to:

  • Create clear objectives at the beginning of each appointment to manage your client’s expectations.
  • Differentiate possible style words such as drama, whimsy, youthful into viable wardrobe choices. (Brenda will share her copyrighted Glossary of Style Words for student use.)
  • Identify the clothing symbols—color, fabrics, texture, line, pattern, detail and fit—that will best interpret her style words.
  • Develop a list of questions and reassuring comments to use as you create perfect outfits out of what she has while meeting her wardrobe goals. 
  • Itemize the professional tools and equipment you’ll need in your closet kit, which will serve you and your client in every closet appointment.
  • Analyze the style elements to each outfit, validating your expertise and deepening your client’s understanding of her style.
  • Develop a system (out of several possibilities that you’ll learn in class) of documenting outfits that fit her lifestyle; every time she uses this system, she’ll be reminded of you!
  • Prepare for numerous closet scenarios; develop communication skills to help you triumphantly win over your client’s confidence even in worst-case scenarios.
  • Analyze the management of the closet and wardrobe project; discuss the multiple bite-sized appointments that will efficiently tackle her entire lifestyle needs. 

  • Create marketing strategies to go well beyond closet organization.

"Testimonial PhotoI was so thrilled to be able to follow Brenda's 'You Had Me' class with her 'Closet Magic' class. Brenda rightly feels that the smallest details are worthy of discussion, because they are the things that add up to a positive experience for our clients ... and more business for us. Now I have a huge array of great tools at my disposal, not to mention the wonderful support that came from both Brenda and the others in the class. In just a few short weeks, the class has made an enormous difference in how I approach my work. I began implementing many of the changes right away and have already seen positive results in repeat business and client enthusiasm."

What Students Say About

Closet Magic...

"This class should be a 'must' for every image consultant whose clients are hesitant to go shopping right now. Brenda's formulas are simple to follow, effective, and so timely. My clients are forever grateful now that I can show them how to save time and money by shopping in their own closets first."

Marjory DeRoeck, AICI CIP

 

"Brenda’s materials were invaluable.  In addition to our weekly teleclass, Brenda provided study materials and visual aids that we could use during the calls. Her ongoing support and commitment to her students is unsurpassed. Brenda made sure all of our questions regarding closet work and client communication were answered before the class concluded."

Karen Karlsen, FLC

What Students Say...

"Brenda's classes are perfect for first-time consultants, as well as those who have been in the business a while. Every student is provided valuable constructive and confidence-building feedback. In the Closet Magic class I learned how to take my own judgments out of the picture and truly serve the client. Brenda teaches you the language to use to gently deal with the client.

Since taking the Closet Magic class, I realize what a valuable service this is for me to provide to my clients. Now that I'm armed with new knowledge and enthusiasm, I can't wait to get into my next client's closet!"
