1. FREE full back-up and support included DURING and AFTER your training
Many training courses take your money, and then turf you out onto the streets with a box of drapes and no idea what to do with them. The first year of your business in particular is the time when you will have the most questions and that's when I will be there to support you with all the help you need.
Based on my current consultancy fees of £150 per hour, and if you asked me just one question every two weeks for a year, that's worth around £4000! In reality, you can ask as many questions as you like and all this is included at no extra charge when you start studying with 'Colour Analysis in a Box'.
Many of those lovely ladies who have already trained with me send emails with questions or photos of those people who are not so easy to analyse - and I pore over these and offer my help and advice.
"I just wanted to let you know how I got on with the lady in the photograph I sent you. She is a Spring, I tested her with brights, both cool and warm. She looked fabulous in the bright coral! She is happy with her hair colour so I gently suggested more golden blonde. Thank you for your help."
And it's enitrely up to you whether you keep in touch or not. This is not a franchise, so I won't be chasing you. You set up your own business, run your way, to reflect your own personality but I am here if you need me.
"Thanks so much for your feedback and ideas. Your suggestion is excellent - I shall definitely put that into action at the next opportunity!"

"Thanks for the information on the workshop. I did my first about 10 days ago and it went really well, they are all going to book again and 3 have e-mailed to say thank you. Most of my ladies seem to be doing this so hopefully you've taught me something. I've got another one booked in for later this month too. I much preferred the format. I really liked the interaction between the ladies and I think it is much better for them. I'm sure they learnt far more by watching everyone else than just doing it themselves."

4. Online Consultant Directory
- Exclusive to Improvabiity consultants
- Only Improvability consultants can advertise in our exclusive Consultant Directory
Our exclusive Consultant Directory is a simple way for you to advertise your colour and image business on the Improvability website. This constitutes a personal recommendation from me.
We work hard to make sure that Improvability is at the top of the search engine rankings so being featured on our site will help you reach more people more quickly.
- Carol placed her ad on Wednesday and then sent me this email, "Just thought I would let you know that when I returned home on Thursday afternoon there was a message on my answerphone from a lady wanting to book an appointment after seeing my details on your site!!!!"
- Another consultant placed her ad, and a week later called me, "I had a phone call yesterday and the work from that one call more than pays for a full year's advertising with you. I'm really pleased."
You can link through to your own website (if you have one), list your services and your contact details so that potential clients can contact you directly.
This isn't a list of every consultant I've ever met, heard about, or trained! Advertising in this directory is only available to Improvability consultants. It is an exclusive list of consultants who have trained with us personally or who have trained via the DVD self-study course.
