Collars are the key to jacket fit as they hold the back and front of a jacket in place for the bodys heat to shape.

TD share their Story and Self Esteem  

 Beside the fact that self-esteem leads to motivation, knowing and telling your story (about your survival or success) is memorable in a good way, only if your client takes an interest after you show your interest in them in a non-transactional way. Finding out what motivates your clients often, works to develop rapport.

Many achievers do not share or consider their success as they dont have a story read to share. Often this is due to them having the impostor syndrome. A TD can be a clients partner in crime as many men are motivated to achieve and treat themselves with a perk, such as a suit. So meeting them can find out what is on their shopping or acquisition agenda. In this way you can call in future to see when they are in the market. Anyone can be motivated to work with a bigger picture. ” S.M.A.R.T. Goal “(Smart, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely goals). Successful men plan and share the celebration with those that matter. It’s relevant, enjoyable public relations.   Perhaps they will then acquire your offer and you can celebrate with them over coffee.

 First World Quality is Relevant anywhere.    

Often a hand made will end up looking home-made and inferior to a crisp engineered factory workshop. Ask your contact if he has a hand made suit to show you in his office. Mostly small tailors are not capitalized properly for quality finish A top fabric and trained eye helps, this is where you come in as we can go over this in the webinars. It may fit, but the style and finishing details are often not there. They sell cheap reputation and the lowest common denominator. For sure your prospect who buys from overseas often charitably contributes to the poor tailor.

Often outside old tailor shops in tourist areas, “hawkers” come out front prompts your “opportunity”. Here it’s the price and convenience of a quick tailored suit fits, not the suit and your decision making skills. We recommend when overseas buying casual cotton or linen slacks or shorts, instead of wool. If your client does not like work or his company and his level of security needs is low, then his suit investment will reflect this and sabotage the prospect of dressing for a better job or his own career.

A serious suit in wool that doesn’t fit is a mistake that reflects your taste and discretion. It’s rare I see a well made garment from a hand tailor in a developing country. I have only seen one nice once from India in 40 years. China has only three factories that are decent that I know of. Keep in mind those tailors who has emigrated to the west, appreciate international standards of tailoring in the first world. This is relevant in the west when competing with a waning retail inventory. 

Mens Self-esteem and Wardrobe Packages 

Samsons offers what we believe to be an important new vehicle. Not just the wardrobe package, but the reality, that men without purpose or skills are the problem in the west. Any man can dress, he needs no reason , no less than a woman that dresses up for a venue, men need this urban adventure, to get perspective from other men.

The wardrobe package is the ultimate stoic defense. Purchased over time is usually more modest as an inroad to a new lifestyle. Men hold back as they may not have experienced or have no direct need or utility. Only one man in 20 is dynamic enough to now bow to a brand, but to be the brand. This is leadership, within first a corporate community or other type of network.

Up to the 20th century, retail was the most efficient way to compete. But manufacturing was sent overseas and abundance has spoiled the value of many things. For ones self esteem, service and personalization of product will be the 21st. C as rare is rich, but richness associated with brand names is not rare. Today the tide is turning and manufacturing on the continent will be key to change. In the past men would collect garments and not efficently plan their wardrobe for coordination. With tailoring design packages from creating a pattern template as well as personal details will trump new salesmens questions, “May I help you? , Have your whole wardrobe designer coordinated is a direct and natural and very rich move. With the web anyone can learn how a suit should fit, so we can look forward to a 17th C European type enlightenment era in North America. Why, because today its easier to cut it right from the cloth than even start to alter a garment properly. If you’re not on top of your game one day, dress up a notch and walk erect, you may be the best suit in miles.
