“One person cannot be great at every aspect of running a business. It’s wise to surround yourself with others who possess talents in areas you don’t.
Stop wasting money on trying to do it all yourself - hire a FRESH PERSPECTIVE.”
Traci McBride, Consultant
Have you spent countless hours and dollars on workshops and seminars that boast business improvement? Do you usually leave feeling like you still don’t have a handle on where to start and how to apply the general ideas to your ‘specific’ business?
Would you benefit from a one-on-one review of your business? Imagine a plan tailored to your business with measurable steps to implement into your daily routine. A “roadmap” focused on your business.
Your business is as unique as you are and we’ll provide a unique review of it, making it all about you! No need to figure it out all on your own; we’re there every baby step of the way.


“Very insightful to see my business through my client’s eyes! Small things make the biggest impact.”

Perhaps you have several stores or several employees at one store. How are those trusted employees representing your business image while you’re not there? Would you personally stand-up to the same scrutiny? Do you practice what you teach your employees to do or say? Having fresh eyes from a consumer’s point-of-view and an analysis of your day-to-day business practices can keep you in the green no matter what the economy is doing. How are you setting your business apart from the crowded market? Let TeeMcBee secretly shop your business and provide a detailed report on how you’re doing and exactly what needs some attention.
Here are the most obvious, yet most
overlooked Image Items:
Are your windows sparkling?
Is the sidewalk clean?
Is the landscape fresh, weeded and inviting?
What about your signage—well lit, fresh-looking?
Hundreds of potential customers look at these things every day. Give them a reason to stop in!
Do you have a new product or service you want to introduce to your clients? Do you know that it is something they want or do you think they need it?
Consumers don’t always rush to purchase something they need but they will rush to buy something they want. Launching a new product is very expensive in whatever combination of media you use—do not waste your resources. Have TeeMcBee Image Consulting pull together a focus group that would best match your client demographics and bring them together in an interactive situation to review your service or product. Does your product speak to the audience you want to market it to?
Do the tweaking of the product before you invest large sums of money.
How is the condition of your bathrooms?
Does it smell fresh and clean?
Is the grout clean?
Is the caulk fresh? Style updated?
Do stall doors lock?
Is the waiting room comfortable and pleasant?
Are magazines current, appropriate and kept neatly?
Are chairs, tables clean?
If we were to interview one of your clients as they walked out of your business, are you certain you know what they would say?
Do you believe your clients are 100% satisfied with your service or product? Do you want to know? Are you providing a service or product that no one else can?
How can you tell if you need an Image Consultant?
1. Your demographics have changed.
2. Your repeat clients have diminished.
3. Your employee turn-over rate has increased.
4. You’re experiencing more returns or exchanges.
5. Complaints are on the rise.
6. Theft is growing
7. Foot traffic is suffering.
8. Your focus is blurred.
9. Your attitude or patience is negative or short.
10. You’re frustrated with your employees or they no longer seem to respect
you.
11. Your business plan or model hasn't changed in several years.
12. Your marketing is constantly changing or has been the same for a long
period of time.
Do your employees operate the business as they were trained?
Do they answer the phone properly?
How long are customers kept waiting?
Are employees having personal or private conversations in front of customers?
Are employees’ attitudes positive?
How are you presenting yourself?
Do you take time to groom yourself with an updated look?
Do you lead by example by answering phones properly, greeting every customer and keeping a positive attitude?
Finding out whether you and your staff exceed customers’ expectations every time.
Knowing if customers are comfortable giving you feedback and whether you are open to it.
Do you know how to determine whether your marketing efforts are effective?

Traci’s interactive presentations and workshops have earned fabulous reviews by many women’s groups. She always tailors her speaking engagements to meet the needs of the specific audience and address the concerns relevant to their subject or topic. Traci is available to speak to hobby groups/clubs, professional organizations, and businesses on topics that include confidence and image, among other things.
At a time when so many women are struggling financially, I think the swap parties are a brilliant idea. And to make it a charity event that benefits the nonprofit organization Dress for Success is just icing on the cake. I salute Traci McBride for doing this! I wish TeeMcBee much success!

Have fun while learning the why’s and why not’s of purchasing the perfect purse to accent both your outfit and body shape.
After laughing yourself silly—you will leave knowing the best way to make sure your biggest and most important accessory is not wearing YOU!
Approximately 30-45 min.
Using her signature statement—laughter, Traci will educate, entertain and build the audience’s awareness of self confidence. Her presentation will show the audience that the way they treat themselves also gives others permission to treat them in the same way. The way we present ourselves to the world will impact every relationship and interaction we have.
Traci will have many before and after photos during her interactive PowerPoint presentation
Approximately 45-60 min.
How can a business professional avoid looking like every other woman in the office in their basic uniform? Need to satisfy the conservative powers that be? You can while setting yourself apart with color and details. Using photo boards Traci will emphasize how to pull it all together while adding the punch needed to attract positive attention to gain more opportunities.
Approximately 60 min.
"I’m Jan Farruggia, Director with BeautiControl-BC Mobile Spas, and I had invited Traci to speak to the Team of Women in my Unit. We all needed a little inspiration with our Business Image since we are each CEO’s of our own Home Based Mobile Spa Business’s. We needed some personal updating. Traci took the time to sit with me to learn about our business and what my goal as a leader was to help the team and what their general individual goals were in the business. She was able to take that information provided and present Image ideas based on our business needs. It was no longer just a general meeting, it was personalized to our group. That really helped get the message across that I wanted them to receive.
Traci was able to accomplish this with a Power Point presentation personalized to our business and with interaction with the women during the event. Everyone really enjoyed the presentation and when asked what they were going to change about their business image, they each had an answer immediately. That showed me they were engaged and willing to make changes for their personal business image.
We had some major weather issues the day of our meeting which set us behind 30 minutes. Traci was very accommodating and even helped me to get things on track. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I feel this was a Win-Win experience for myself and my team. I can now continue to refer to points made during her talk if I observe a member not putting her best Business Image forward. I would recommend Traci for all your Image Consulting needs."
