Social Graces is an etiquette program designed
to promote self respect, confidence and deportment. It has
been proven that corporations who have incorporated an ongoing
training program for the employees have an increase in
sales, public perception, and the most effective form of
advertising available; word of mouth. (The Nordstrom Way)
Outclass the competition.
The trend of the economy is quickly embracing
the reinvented customer service wheel. We at Social Graces
refer to this
as the "Five to one steps to success" equation:
SMART + SAVVY + SERVICE + SALES + SKILL = $ More Money$
1. Knowledge of customer service trends
2. Realize the monumental benefits/ profound impact
3. Incorporate teachings into daily dealings
4. Sales increase
5. Perfect skill- and watch it grow
A socially savvy individual always
stands out in a field of equals. Social Graces the gift
of a lifetime provides the necessary tools to succeed
through life’s unexpected journey. Social Graces
strives to build self-confidence, self- respect, and
proper etiquette to handle any situation an individual
may be thrust into.
Smart- Remember the old adage; Don’t
judge a book by it’s cover? This still remains true. Too many times sales
people make the mistake by judging a person's net worth based entirely
by the attire they adorned. Big Mistake #1. While it remains true,
first impressions are lasting representations, not all millionaires
dress the part as the Millionaire on Gilligan's Island.
In fact, a truly successful noble man, in spite of his titles or riches is
truly humble, decent and respectful to all man kind.
Savvy- Tact and Tricks of the Trade. a.) Smile: a smile breaks down
the barriers of fear and creates a warm, safe, friendly
place to shop.
b.) Body language- Did you know that your body language speaks volumes?
You
have 15 seconds to set the customers mood. Make it good! Eye contact, warm
greeting, proper posture can make or break a deal.
c.) Key- if by chance you notice something undesirable please do not draw
attention to or worse yet snicker among your colleagues. Have enough tact
to keep the focus of the conversation eye-to-eye. It is considered extremely
uncouth to snicker like a child at an individual's default. Remember, next
time that could be you.
Service — Yes, the customer is
in fact always right if you want to build a dynasty! Think how you would like to be treated as a customer.
Go beyond the call of duty. If it takes scraping a customer's windshield
to remove the excess snow, have a scraper ready! If there was a mistake
made on a copy, give the copies to the customer and reprint them correctly.
It makes no rational sense to throw them away. Your customer walks away
happy, will return satisfied and will refer you to his friends and family.
It’s not rocket science.
Skill — Know your strong qualities
and do more of it. Read your customers body language. Learn what
works and stick to it.
Whether it is your confidence, a warm inviting feel in your department, the
way you put yourself together, your follow up calls, thank you cards what
ever your MO is, if it works do more of it.
And don’t be afraid to
watch and learn from your colleagues.
Sales — With the combined
effort of civility, smiles, body language, knowing
your positive attributes, going beyond the call of
duty
to please your customer, respect and your closing
greeting — you shall be on the road to making

Joe Cheray , Student , Washburn University
was with another company when working with Jolene A. at Social Graces School of Etiquette
“I sent my sons, 17 and 20 years, to Jolene's School of Etiquette Classes to prepare them for college, gradschool, and job interviews. I have so enjoyed watching them discuss and use various styles of silverware handling, dinner etiquette, even playfully correcting me at times. I was thrilled the day my youngest expressed that he looks for the loner at a new church event to get them engaged and involved. Jolene specifically had said as leaders in this world it was their responsibility to do just that! They listened to her and respected her suggestions enough to implement them into their lives. I would highly recommend her program. Lori Schmidt IM Focused, LLC” August 23, 2008
