TBS192 How to stand out from your competition with Josh from Printed Workwear
Or Subscribe On Your Favourite Device

You’re going on a date. You want to make sure you look good. After all, first impressions count, don’t they? Sure they do! You fix your hair, wear your best shirt or skirt, maybe clean those shoes, perhaps pop on some perfume or cologne.

Right. Now you’re ready to meet them.

So why not do the same in your business? With your customers? After all, first impressions count don’t they?

They sure do!

In fact, you have less than 3 seconds to make a good impression…and it’s one that lasts whether it was a good impression or not!

One simple and cost effective way to make a good impression and to make your team feel good about themselves, is to have ‘proper’ workwear.

Not just the stuff that meets WH&S guidelines but gear that really looks good and fits well.

Today I chat with Josh from Printed Workwear Online about what goes into good workwear design, colour, logo and more. You might think it’s simply a matter of slapping your logo on a t-shirt but done right, good workwear can make a real difference when all your prospects have to go on is a quote and number at the bottom.

Besides, who likes wearing daggy old threads around town…you never know who might take a fancy to you!

COMPETITION TIME!

Yep, we’ve got some more free kit to give away!!

Thanks to Josh at Printed Workwear Online, I have some cool threads, all embroidered with the Tradies Business Show logo to give away.

Simply go to Tradies Business Show on Facebook, find the photo of me (see below) and in the comments, tell me how many items are in the esky. Closest guess wins the swag. A tie will be settled by a random draw of those names from a hat.

I’ll announce the winner after May 31st 2018 so get guessing and pick yourself up some hi-viz, work shirts, warm wear and more! There’s over $150 of gear to be won so head straight over to Tradies Business Show and guess away!

She interviews guests on a range of topics such as marketing, finance, human resources, legal issues, mindset, motivation, physical and mental health, industry updates and more! Nic loves a laugh and a good story, so tune in for a unique look at how to ‘get off the tools’ and break the cycle of financial hardship and stress to create the trade business you really wanted!
