STYiLES - Jen Auh
Introduction
"When you create a compelling brand, you attract people
who want the promise of your brand—which you deliver."
—Dave Buck
It’s time for you to rebrand .
Trust me, I know what it takes. I’ve learned the lesson of rebranding again and again in life. Now I’m going to share my secrets with you.
Your image consulting business can be more than what it is today. You can remake yourself as an elite image consultant. You can scale your business, increase your influence, and bring in high six and seven-figure income.
My First Rebranding
In 2016, I was living the corporate life in California when I started giving makeovers to my guy friends. They would come to me for styling tips, and I’d help them discover a whole new look. At the time, I was doing it for fun and for free.
Word spread enough that commissioned customers started asking for my services. Image consulting became a part-time gig that I did on the side.
When some clients needed clothing sizes outside of what was available, I started looking into custom tailoring solutions. I checked all over the States, but the prices were too high, and turnaround times were too slow.
I decided to expand my search overseas to Italy, Japan, and Vietnam. None offered what I was looking for: a fast tailoring factory that I could entrust with the smallest details.
An associate gave me a tip: Check out Korea. There’s a custom tailoring market. It might be just what you need.
I headed to Korea and was blown away by the options.
In Korea, I’d be able to get high-quality garments in almost no time at all. It was incredible. Korean tailors could fulfill orders with the utmost precision and attention to detail.
This was the opportunity I’d been looking for. I went home to California, wrapped up things there, and moved to Korea within a month.
I arrived in July of 2017 and started setting up my men’s custom tailoring business, SUIT MAKE. I had taken a big leap, and it was worth it. I’d rebranded myself from corporate employee to successful business owner. I was helping men all over the world look great and feel more confident about themselves.
The Next Rebranding
But that’s not where my story ends.
The image consulting that I’d been doing back in the States didn’t stop when I opened SUIT MAKE. The new business actually gave me more opportunities to advise men on their fashion choices.
Ordering custom clothing means that you’re responsible for every detail. Usually, customers have to pick the material, the color, the buttons, and more. That’s great in theory, but many men don’t know what choices will look best on them.
I wanted to help them choose the selections that would make them look most attractive. You want a blue suit, but you need to go with brown,
I’d advise, and they’d pay attention.
Moreover, I’d provide guidance on how to do their hair, care for their skin, present themselves in meetings, and feel more confident.
Once again, I was an image consultant. And once again, I needed to rebrand myself.
That’s how Style Konsult was born. With this rebranding, I marketed myself as more than a fashion expert. I became a total lifestyle expert — the solution men need for head-to-toe transformations that permeate every aspect of their lives.
With Style Konsult, men don’t just look better; they actually become better versions of themselves.
Your Rebranding Story
Now, it’s time for you to rebrand yourself too. You’ve been working as an image consultant for years, and you’ve built a decent business. Life is pretty comfortable, and you could simply stay where you are.
But deep down, you know that there’s more you could be doing. There’s a higher level of clients who could benefit from your services. Instead of making five or six figures like you are now, you could be earning seven figures each year.
The elite ranks are calling your name. You want to know how to identify the best resources, make the right connections, and recruit clients who will pay you what you’re worth.
I’ll show you how to identify your ideal market and present yourself in ways that attract those people to you. We’ll also talk about how to develop an incredible network of trusted partners that both you and your elite clients can count on.
Above all, I’ll do for you exactly what I do for my image consulting clients. I’ll help you discover the confidence to believe that this is something you can do.
ALWAYS Rebranding
There’s one more thing.
My rebranding story isn’t yet over. (Which is why I know, your story isn’t over either.) SUIT MAKE and Style Konsult are still going strong, but I have one more transformation that I want you to know about.
The custom clothing that I was providing for clients started to catch other image consultants’ eyes. Even tailors and designers from all over the world were asking if I could order products for their customers too. They saw photos, they touched samples, and then they showed up at my door to connect with me.
This business is all about helping people, so I, of course, said yes. Then, I built my STYiLES app to expand access to others, including you.
With STYiLES, you can order Korean-made custom-tailored clothing, K-beauty products, and European accessories and have them shipped anywhere in the world. Even fully tailored wardrobes arrive within 14 business days.
Clients can book your image consulting services using STYiLES too. The user-friendly platform allows you to easily manage their appointments and orders. The app will bring you more business and a wider network.
It’s exactly the resource you need as you move into image consulting for high-end clients.
It’s time to take the first step toward an elite styling business. Let’s get to the heart of the Style Konsult Method.
CHAPTER 1
The Style Konsult Method
"Your success will be determined by
your own confidence and fortitude."
—Michelle Obama
It’s not about the clothes.
When I work with a client, I do more than give them a new wardrobe. My job as an image consultant is to deliver confidence. I can do that because I am fully confident about who I am and how I advise my clients.
All consultants should be confident. You must be firm in your conviction that you have the best solutions. When you speak with confidence, others listen. Confidence is the voice that leads to positive results.
I’ve built my business around this principle. Let me introduce you to the Style Konsult method.
Image Consulting the Style Konsult Way
At Style Konsult, we focus on image consulting for men.
