Introducing,yourself,your,clie marketing Introducing yourself to your client with a self-portrait
Awhile ago, I got an email from one of the "gurus" I follow and it shocked me. The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry.

All day we are presented with advertisements and information of all forms. The goal is tocatch attention. The quickest way to do so is with an image. This is not something thatshould be short cut, yet it doesnt have to be complicated either. Admit, you will always lookat an image first So does your client.Photography is an incredible tool if used properly. It can be a very simple appearing image,yet it may contain all the information you may need to catch the attention of your viewer.Properly creating an image is the key. To start you need to have a message you are trying toget across. This means grabbing a piece of clip art or a passport image of yourself is notgoing to cut it. What you are saying is you are lazy in this area. How does this represent therest of your company or business? Know your message then lets plan the image.Style, this is where we start. Images can be of anything, so starting with style helps. I give anexample to the people I photograph by using my style; I will use this for an example. Put thisinto your situation. If I were to describe my style, may it be where I am, if I have reached this goal, or where Iwould like to be, I would say personally in clothing would be the artistic flavors of India. Atleast the clothing and Jewelry I have found in the United States imported from countries alsoincluding Malaysia. In terms of clothing I would say a rayon cotton blend, fitting in the rightareas, but mostly loose clothing. Darker wood and metal colors in the pant or body out fit,and embroidered designs around the edges. Shoes I would say from, Melrose Hollywood, talland funky, a little wild but neat almost always leather, (mostly the seem to come from Italy.)Metals would be more earthy metals, such as bronze, or even to the tones of white gold.Flowing pirate or poet type shirts I love. Nails of a french tip, Hair long and healthy, with tintsof highlights. Something such as a multicolored earth metal toned scarf around the waste asthe waste may be an accent. Necklace may be from Africa, the size of a silver dollar may be thependant, hung high on the neck with a close fitting thick necklace. The interior of the room would be described as of a nice Spanish style texture on the insidewalls. Two toned brightly colored walls of either a rust or olive. Open spaced are around withfew but fine pieces of artwork, statue type. A large Black and white print framed in a darkhand carved wood frame. Myself placed comfortably on a soft arched sofa with long armrestrolling to each side. A couple pillows rest on the on the couch. The feeling of my face would be gentle and sincere, personal looking into your eyes. Holdinga glass of ice water in a clear simple crystal glass. In front of me, laying on a coffee table ofsimilar wood to the frame of the image would be my portfolio, clearly visible and open to agreat image that you as my view would have interest in. The room would be warmly lit with golden tones, maybe a slight soft focus, it would becropped to show me sitting on the couch, seeing the portfolio clearly and coming just abovethe print on the wall . It would be a horizontal image coming to the bottom of my shoe. This is how to develop an image. A self-portrait to say, so your client know who they areworking with. No words. This image we just created would have all the attention to detail ofmy style, it would show what I do and my personality as a friendly personable person.Consultations are the key to my business, introducing myself to my clients is a friendly wayto start. After they know whom I am viewing my work becomes personal. What it says is whoI am and what I do in the flash of a second. A professional executive portrait is nice. People can identify you. A self-portrait people willknow you. In your business, how would you describe what you do? Are you quick to throw itout there or are you concerned about the details of your business? This can work for eachdepartment; there are so many ways to go. Just open your mind.
