They say, never judge a book by its cover. However, in today’s highly competitive business world one can’t afford to make a bad first impression. With hordes of individuals competing for the limited opportunities, soft skills and appearance can be the tipping point. When done well, it can tip the scales in your favour, else the opportunity goes on to knock at another door.

This phenomenon is manifested in the fact the global image consulting market size is slated to reach $4.3 billion by 2027 according to a recent report by Grand View Research. The field of image consulting has gained massive traction over the past few years. A poll found that given a choice 79 percent of individuals would avail the aforementioned services.

And why wouldn’t they; not everybody knows how to present or position themselves. So, why not leave the job for the professionals.
