When you think about the office you work in, how do you feel? Do you feel comfortable in your surroundings? Are you slightly embarrassed with the shabbiness when brand new clients come in? Let's look at some Feng Shui for your office.
Many of haven't put much thought into the showcase that our office can be to our clients, and in some instances, when your business is simply done by phone or by internet, we think it doesn't matter. But it does.
In the former, when you have clients coming through your door on a regular basis, the tone is set from the moment they pull up to park. Here's a quick checklist
1. Is the outside clean - windows sparkling, and entrance swept.
2. How is the signage? chipped? broken? taped?
3. Do you have a spot for cigarette butts or garbage? Is it emptied frequently?
4. How does your front door look? Long dead stickers from old associations with corners curling? Faded signs that have been up for more than 6 months? Too much information on product?
Your entrance to your place of business should be as inviting as the one to your home. While we're not exactly looking for the warm homey look, we are looking for a professional feel. After all, if you don't care about what you look like, prospective clients will certainly feel that you probably don't care too much about anything, and therefore will choose someone else over you. That's something that you don't want to happen.
It takes so little to spruce up your frontage, and KEEP it looking good. Take the time.
