What are you selling?

What if I told you that you could make more money if you just changed the way you dressed in the work place.  Let's just call it "dressing for the job that you want."  Now remember, whether it's clothing or makeup, it's considered the same family (blood is thicker than water).  In my profession, I notice many clients fail to realize that we are all in the sales business.  In this case, it's about selling yourself.  Just taking the time to understand the rules (..um huh, yes there are unspoken rules) about what's considered professional in the work place. Take for instance,  your office or work place,  the boss may not say, I want you to look polished and crisp but you might wonder why so and so got the coveted promotion that you had your eye on.  Let's be clear, it's not always because someone is better suited for the position that you. Simply put, she might just "look" like she belongs in the job more than you.  Hard medicine to swallow; I know. Add to del.icio.us
