Social Graces is an etiquette program designed to promote self respect, confidence and deportment.

Secrets to increase Sales


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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 MORE money!!!

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
