Carol Cooper, President
Universal Laboratories

A new look gave this dynamic businesswoman such confidence that it totally transformed her relationship with her employees and customers. Within a few months, Carol's confidence had increased so much that she expanded her business and bought out another company.

"I became interested in what you said you could do for me, because I was looking for a way to make a positive change that would reflect in my business. I needed to be able to stand out around my business partner, who naturally draws the attention due to his stature. I was looking to get a higher level of respect from my employees.

"All of the above were attained, and then some. Quite a few of the clients have changed their behavior towards me. The employees are behaving differently. I am being heard better than before. Quite a few people have said I look quite a bit younger with the new "look" I feel as if I've had an attitude change to go along with the new look, which has helped to contribute to the great response I've received. I couldn't be happier and would recommend your services."

Patricia L. Raymond, M.D.

"I have spent a lot of money on makeup and clothes to fulfill my dual roles as physician and public speaker, even keeping a recent makeover appointment where I spent $140 for a new set of colors. However, I didn't get it. You need a conductor, someone to lead the orchestra of yourself...your hair, makeup, jewelry, and clothes must all play harmoniously and cohesively to project the image of your soul.

"Sandy is like a fee-only financial advisor. She has no product to sell you except a cohesive self image. She has no commission on selling you more "stuff." She charges a fee for her work, and thus saves you a mint on clothes that aren't quite right and don't leave your closet, on makeup that is not as great as it could be, on accessories that just miss the boat. Save yourself the angst of not understanding why your message is not clearly understood. My investment in an image consultation by Sandy Dumont of THE Image Architect will pay me dividends for years to come."

Anthony Jernigan, CLU, ChFC, REBC
The Pinnacle Group

"I want to express my gratitude for the image workshop you presented to my employees. It was money well spent!

"I contacted you because I wanted to make certain the appearance of my employees consistently matched the caliber of my firm. This goal was achieved. Everyone looks polished and professional. My employees are as happy as I am with the results, and their confidence has increased."

Barry Benzing
Attorney, Benzing & Associates

Like many businesSMen, Barry Benzing selected his clothing from habit rather than from any thoughtful consideration. He wasn't aware that his choice of clothing styles and colors could be adapted to each situation and client. He wanted to make a distinction between "board room" or "power" attire and more congenial or rapport-building attire.

"I recently attended a Branding for People^SM workshop given by Sandy Dumont and had expected to be told merely the colors and styles that were good for me - I expected a color analysis. Instead, during the workshop, I learned far more than I ever expected.

"In short, the workshop was an education. Ms. Dumont did not just tell me what colors were "my color," she took the time to educate me about color, color psychology and much more. I learned that the pattern in a tie is often as important as its color, and that each pattern sends out a different message. I especially appreciated the hands-on portion of the workshop where I got to see different suits, shirts and ties."

Lee Milteer
Professional Speaker, Executive Coach & Author

The most successful people are usually the ones who are forever growing and learning. Lee Milteer is a striking beauty with a winning personality, and she has also reached the pinnacle of success. Nevertheless she took the time to take advice from an expert in a different arena. One Branding for People^SM session and she was off and running!

"As a Professional Speaker, author and executive coach my image is a very important aspect for being taken seriously in the business world. I had a personal session with Sandy and learned so many up to date ways to look better and younger. She had promised me I would look ten years younger and she was right!

"Sandy assisted me to update and change my makeup and wear the colors that flatter my skin. I certainly look and feel better. It's clear in our society that first impressions are very important. I would recommend to anyone who wants to update their look to use her very professional services."

Mark S. Fulton, President
CoachCare

Like many fair-haired men, Mark Fulton often dressed in the gentle colors that seemed to harmonize with his appearance. While working with Sandy as a client, Mark recognized that it might be a "false harmony." His appearance now matches his commanding voice and presence, and his wife agrees that it also greatly enhances his looks.

"Thanks again for the stimulating and informative personal image workshop. You really opened my eyes to the power of color and the importance of creating a dynamic look.

"I was especially pleased with your visit to my home for our 'closet session.' After the branding workshop, I was convinced that I had a closet full of hopelessly wrong clothing. Your instructions about how I can 'save' my large selection of brown sports coats was particularly valuable. In addition, you gave me very easy-to-understand guidelines for matching shirts, ties and suits that I use every day.

"While the branding workshop was great, the home closet session really helped me put it all together. Now I walk out of the house confident that I look dynamic and that I'm not visually contradicting the message I want to convey."

Margie Johnson
Owner, Shop Talk

"What a fabulous presentation! On behalf of the Board of Directors of Old Dominion Fashion Exhibitors, we would like to thank you for your terrific workshop. Our clients were thanking us all day for sponsoring you at the fashion trade show.

"Your approach to creating a professional image (a somewhat sensitive subject for many retailers) was very enthusiastically embraced by the participants. We are already being asked, 'When can we have Sandy Dumont back to spend more time with us?' They are hungry for your advice"

Wendy Howard
Atlantic Consulting Group

Wendy was always well dressed and attractive, but like many female executives, she leaned toward a classic or conservative look. It only took one branding session for Wendy to see that her conservative dress was at odds with her unique and dynamic approach to business. Today Wendy's appearance leaves no doubt that her company and methods are state-of-the art!

"As a Management Consult, looking my best if very important to me as I am in front of many different people each day.

"I wanted to learn more about image and more specifically, the use of color. I tended to stick with safe colors and wanted to try something different. You have a very keen eye for color and can relay your assesSMent of what you see in a very effective manner. You are very knowledgeable about color and other image tools and presented them to me in a way that was easy to understand and not threatening. You sought to understand my profession, the image that I needed to convey, while giving consideration to where I currently was in relation to that image."

Betty Perkins,
Vice President & Managing Broker
Long & Foster Realtors

A mini workshop for Betty Perkins' group of agents impressed her enough to schedule a personal session for herself.

"I was thrilled with the way Sandy demonstrated the colors (nothing like Color Me Beautiful). I had always assumed that you needed lots of expensive makeup and had to spend hours putting it on. Sandy showed me that this is not true. I was able to see the results, and I did not look 'made up' but natural. Sandy showed me the difference - did not tell me, but let me see the difference.

"Since then, I have used Sandy's advice and have been a different person. I feel good about myself. Not a day passes without someone saying, 'What are you doing? You look great!' 'You look younger!' 'Have you lost weight?'

"One day in my life changed my attitude, my appearance and my energy level! I have to give the credit to Sandy Dumont."

Host of her own television and radio show, and a national symbol of chic and elegance, Ghislaine Nuytten interviewed Sandy Dumont for one of her shows and decided to come along for a session and see for herself what Sandy could do. She was so impressed, she recommended Sandy to management, and they chose her to be their official color and image consultant.

"Thank you very much for coaching and training our on-camera TV journalists, as well as the staff of makeup artists for BRT. Everyone was extremely pleased with your work, and your expertise was obvious. Compliments continue to pour in."

William J. Dungan Jr. CFP, CEBS
USI Southeast

Highly successful, but ever on the lookout for ways to get even better, William Dungan just wasn't suited for the new casual dress code initiated at his office. He was a winner and wanted to project that with his image.

"I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks to you for the very informative sessions. I was looking to upgrade the image I projected to clients and centers of influence and get back to more of a business look (versus the casual look). The sessions worked wonders. I now have a better understanding of which colors 'wash me out' and which colors add to my appearance. I have been recently shopping for my fall wardrobe and have been very careful to follow your advice."

Like most natural redheads, Marlene wore warm makeup and clothing colors to complement her hair rather than her natural shin tone. In one session, Marlene discovered that cool colors in bold tones were far more effective in enhancing her natural beauty and augmenting her dynamic personality. They also enabled her to stand out from the competition with a look that can only be called memorable.

"It was important to work with someone who lived what she preached and who was knowledgeable and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sandy. Not only is she a credit to her profession, she is also genuinely interested in every client. I highly recommend her."

Wendy J. Lucas
Real Estate Sales

A real romantic, Wendy was drawn to delicate and feminine pastels. Unfortunately, they caused her to look washed out and somewhat passive. Wendy needed to convey immediate credibility and trust. She discovered new colors and styles that made her look not only dynamic and successful but also more beautiful.

"Since attending your workshop one year ago and having a few follow-up wardrobe sessions with you, my income has increased rather dramatically. I have been in real estate sales for 20 years, and I earned more during the past year than I have ever earned before! I am certain it is thanks to the 'image skills' I learned with you. I sense that I have immediate credibility and that clients trust me and respect me. This gives me greater self confidence, I am actually much more productive as well."

Sherry Elizabeth Balcar, MS
Stress Management Consultant

One Branding for People SM session and a hands-on session at her home transformed a "former hippie" into an elegant and stylish professional.

"Sandy is an artist turned image consultant with a take on color that flies in the face of the entire coSMetic and fashion industry. I had a daylong consultation with her and I am seeing color with brand new and very educated eyes. I highly recommend that you meet her. I think she is a great resource for all who would like to benefit from an educated understanding of color and how it works on their skin."

Catherine Oden Fulton, DDS
Orthodontist

A classic beauty with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes, Catherine was initially reluctant to give up the six hours required for a Total Image session. She left the session with a new look and a happy SMile!

"Visiting Sandy was enlightening and exciting. I was given a lot of food for thought about clothing and make-up.

"The most significant thing I learned was that clothes reflect power and that your choice of dress certainly can affect your success.

"I have been experimenting with these new concepts and have received many compliments from people I interact with both socially and professionally. I feel that I'm in control of my image when I wear my new colors.

"My time was well spent with Sandy Dumont. She is both knowledgeable and enthusiastic in her presentation. I would happily recommend her to any professional woman."

Candice Dettloff's long mane of luxurious blonde hair and year-round suntan were the envy of all. Like many, she didn't realize that the makeup and clothing colors she wore undermined her natural beauty and often caused her suntan to look faded.

"Thank you for the tremendous guidance your program has given me. Your session taught me that I should wear the colors that enhance what nature gave, rather than purchasing clothing and makeup just because I liked the color. I assumed it was my body chemistry and age that made me look tired or washed out. I now know that applying more lipstick or cheek coloring wasn't the answer to creating the healthy glow I desired. My skin has never looked better and I've never received so many compliments.

"I also have more confidence in my professional and personal appearance after having been educated by your methods. I am saving money because I am aware of the colors that enhance me and make me feel pretty and energetic. The friends I have sent to you are also singing your praises."

Carine Suenens,
Director Sales & Marketing, Hotel Le Meridien Brussels

As a Director with a prestigious 5-star hotel, Carine Suenens wanted to make certain the appearance of her staff matched the caliber of the hotel. She arranged workshops for everyone in the hotel who met with the public, from chambermaids to sales executives!

"Thank you very much for the informative and professional sessions you gave our staff on color and image. We learned that image is a powerful tool, and that it can be put to use immediately. There is no doubt that the self esteem our employees gained from your course will make them more effective employees."

"I wanted to say a proper thank you for all the time and trouble you took yesterday. I learned some very valuable tips, and I will be able to give just the right impression of confidence trustworthiness, compassion and all those other desirable qualities!"

"As an attorney, I know that you have to dress tastefully and properly to present a good professional and competent appearance. I once had an occasion to meet with a banker, who dressed in casual clothes, and it detracted from his competency as a banker."
