TRAINING WITH IMPROVABILITY
WHAT THIS IS NOT!
- This is absolutely not a franchise
- There are no pre-designed training courses - each training session
will be designed around YOU and what YOU need
- You will not become a clone of Improvability (or of me!) - you will
be encouraged to develop your own identity as a professional in your
chosen field
- You are under no obligation to buy drapes, wallets, colour or style
supplies, make-up, or anything else from the suppliers I recommend;
you can source your own if you prefer
- If you should decide to pursue some or all of my recommendations,
you will never have to meet any monthly / yearly / whatever targets
by selling unwanted wallets, make-up, scarves, etc. to your poor unsuspecting
clients
Whyyou should consider
carefully who you train with
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Back-up and support AFTER the training
There are, unfortunately, lots of training companies out there who will
take your money, sell you lots of goodies, and wave goodbye. I am always
available for support and back-up once the training itself has finished
- and that goes for both the personal and DVD-based training courses.
Many of those who have already trained with me send emails with details
and photos of those people who are not so easy to analyse, or just to
check that they are on the right track - and I just love to pore over
these and offer my help.
"I'm doing well. I'm gradually doing
more colours; it's taken me a while to juggle other priorities. Anyway,
I did a joint consultation and was wondering if you could check over
my suggestions. Thanks ever so much for being there - it's such a help!!!!
This is so much harder than it looks sometimes!! :) I'm really enjoying
it though so thank you so much for taking me on!" Claire, Bury
St. Edmunds, UK
It's up to you whether you keep in touch or not - this is not a franchise;
I will train you to set up your own business, run your way, to reflect
your own personality but I am here if, and whenever, you need me.
"I just wanted to say that your reply to my
last email regarding 'xxx' was spot on. I so 'get' what you
say. You are an inspiration Kim. I strive to emulate what you do and
how you do it as I admire your approach. Obviously I put my own style
to it or else I'd never be able to carry it off honestly and truly
but the way you look at things and comment is FIRST CLASS.
I just wanted to let you know this and say a BIG thank you for your back
up support. It's very very very much appreciated.
You're a star." KA, Edinburgh, UK

Comprehensive manual
All our courses include a comprehensive course workbook which includes
all the theory for your training needs.
"Straightforward chart-type explanations which
you provided in my training materials are still what I use for my reference
during my colour sessions; they are handy and quick to read." Julie,
London, UK (and now Canada)
For some trainees I may follow the workbook closely and cover everything
almost page by page if that is what I think is needed. For others, I
may skip over sections of the workbook discuss additional subjects in
detail, as required. Plus, I may even add additional customised content
writing additional pages of notes after the training has been completed
specifically for you. In short (as Mr. Micawber used to say), I offer
personalised training, customised to your specific business needs.

travel directions and accommodation suggestions.

Until I know what you want from your training, I can't quote on costs
as I personalise each course. We need to talk on the telephone before
I will quote for you.
A note about VAT
UK VAT is charged for the place of supply and as the training is taking
place in the UK, VAT will be charged at 17.5%.
Payment terms
Fees can be paid by cheque (GBP only) or debit/credit card. EU VAT receipts
are available on request.
A 50% deposit paid at the time of booking secures the date(s) in my

the course date. All fees already paid are forfeited thereafter. However,
someone else could take your place or a new date can be agreed. Improvability

booked. In this case, all fees already paid will be refunded in full.

taken on a first come, first served basis and will only become secure

"I wanted to say a huge thank you for 2 amazingly
stimulating days and for introducing colour into my life. It is a very
powerful experience and I am going to spend this weekend getting to grips
with it further! You and Neil are great hosts - making it feel very comfortable
at all times and your experience was a privilege to have had access to.
Thanks once again and I hope this is the beginning of a new.....who knows
what??" Caroline, Cheshire, UK (Sept 2005)

HOW TO FIND OUT MORE
Before you ask - there is no prospectus as
I do not have a set syllabus; each course is designed around the individual(s)
on the course at that particular time.
So, until I know exactly what you want from the course, I will not quote
for prices, course duration, etc. We need to talk on the phone (absolutely
no obligation on either side), when I can give you my best advice.
"Thank you for your quick reply with all the
information you've provided and it was great talking to you also yesterday,
very helpful! I am really interested in doing your course and I agree,
I think colour will work very well. I'm hoping to join your course in
November, although I think it will be easier to get away and do once
I am in the new salon and obviously I need to work out everything and
prepare for the other ideas I wish to do. I realise so far that your
courses get booked up very quickly so I hope to be in touch soon and
book with you. I hope this is ok. Thank you again for your help so far." Clare,
UK (Jul 06)
The next step
Read frequently-asked questions about
training and then contact me with the
information below:
- Your name, location, and daytime telephone number
- The best time to call you during the day
- Experience, if any, in the industry
- Related experience, if any
- What sort of training you are looking for
- What kind of business you are hoping to build from this
This puts neither of us under any obligation whatsoever.
Before any bookings or training take place, we need to talk on the telephone
at the absolute minimum so we can both decide how (or if) we can best
work together.
"Thanks for getting back to me with the information
so quickly, it was great to talk to you earlier - it really clarified
a few things for me. After speaking to you I've made the decision to
work with women only - which has taken a weight off my mind that I didn't
even realise was there - thank you! I would definitely love to go ahead
and book a colour analysis course with you." Lisa, Hertfordshire,
UK (May 06)
Training in the image industry could set you on the road to a satisfying,
well-paid career. And if I can help you achieve your dreams, I would

Why you
should consider carefully who you train with
I re-trained in everything (Colour Analysis, Ladies' Style, Make-up,
Men's Image, and Corporate Image) during the summer months of 1999 and
was shocked and horrified to discover that a number of the self-styled
Image Consultants on the course couldn't tell the difference between
cool and warm skin tones - which is absolutely fundamental to the whole
process.
They had previously trained with other companies - some of whom are
very well-known and you may have already come across them on the internet
or in the press - and I, therefore, concluded that not all training courses
are equal and some clearly do not do the job at all.
What shocked me more than anything was the thought of these people practising
their dubious skills on the unsuspecting public - and getting paid for
it!
No wonder I get so many ladies coming up to me at the end of a talk
wondering if they really are a Spring as previously told them by another
'consultant', when it seems perfectly obvious from my observations that
they are most probably a Summer (just an example - I'm sure you get my
drift here)!
And I am still amazed at the number of people who contact me to say
that they've trained with another company who have sold them a box of
drapes and they haven't a clue what to do with them! Or worse, they're
stuck with a bedroom full of make-up, scarves, etc. plus the dreaded
monthly targets that accompany these. If this is you, and you are unhappy
with the service you've been given, then complain loudly and insist on
having your money back!
You need to make sure that the training you are paying for meets all
your needs - if you don't know what your needs are, can I suggest that
you make a list?
To start you off:
- peruse our course
content
- download
my free book 'What does it take to become an
image consultant? - answers to 17 questions you MUST ask before training.'
"It was great to have been able to talk
to you earlier. Thanks ever so much for your time on the phone.
I have read the downloaded booklet ‘cover to cover’ and
just know that this is what I need to be doing. I love helping people,
am a good listener and I am very much looking forward to completely
understanding colour. I have done so much research in the past and
have never wanted to commit to a course due to the blinkered approach
all the other courses seem to have. i.e learning only tonal or only
seasonal, etc, and having to commit to their marketing plans.
I am going to start at the Business Link website,
as you suggested, to see if they can help in any way with funding the
training so that I set out with the right ‘business-minded’ approach
right from the beginning.
I very much hope to be able to secure a booking
with you by the end of this month, for the colour course in March.
Thanks again for your time today - I really appreciate your advice." Denise,
Northants, UK (Jan 08)
WHAT TRAINING WITH ME OFFERS YOU
I promise to train you in YOUR own particular choice of Colour, Style,
etc. to be able to run your own business as
an independent consultant. The course will be built around YOU,
your personality, where you currently are, and what you want to achieve.
You will have fun, you will learn
about your own colouring and body shape, and you'll learn how to do the
same for your clients. The ultimate purpose of each course will be to
show you how to work out what your client
really wants from a consultation with you, and how to deliver
just that!
There is no need to try to cram everything into a two-day course (you
couldn't do that anyway; I am still learning about colour, style, image,
etc. after 27 years in the business) as I offer you full back-up
support when your training is over. However, as I don't run a
franchise I will NOT chase you. This is your business and you must decide
how you are going to run it. I am here if you need me.
FOR INDEPENDENT FREE THINKERS ONLY
I don't believe there can possibly be a formula when you're working
with human beings. We are all different, and there isn't a scientist
in the world who can prove that you and I see the same shade of red (or
whatever), so quite how anyone thinks they can produce a completely fool-proof
formula for what suits who is utterly beyond me.
My courses offer you several ways to work out what suits one client
as opposed to another. How YOU learn will
heavily influence which approach suits you best. We cover this, and lots
more about psychology, body language, etc. on the course.
If you want to run your business YOUR way,
with no-one breathing down your neck to see if you've met this month's
targets, then consider training with Improvability. There will be no
targets at all set by me - only the ones you set for yourself.
This is an absolutely fabulous business to be in. You can earn
good money and yet have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping
others to achieve their potential by making the most of themselves. What
a wonderful way to put bread on the table!
