Looking professional will get your everywhere today. It will open up new job opportunities, lead to increased success with business contacts and impress your boss. Beyond dressing the part in the office, once of the easiest ways to make yourself instantly look more professional is by carrying your own leather portfolio.
You can slip a pad of notebook paper into a good leather portfolio. Use it to take notes during training sessions and in meetings with your boss or with clients. Taking notes with your leather portfolio looks much more professional than scribbling away in spiral notebooks or on napkins during dinner meetings. People who can influence your career for better or worse will sit up and take notice. Your professional demeanor will be remembered when it is time for your boss to issue pay raises and promotions or when clients decide who gets the sale.
What Your Leather Portfolio Looks Like.
Your leather portfolio should also have a pocket for storing letter-sized documents. Some even have multiple tab dividers to help keep documents organized. This is great for storing documents you might receive during one-on-one conferences with your boss, a great time to impress your boss with your professionalism. Document storage also comes in handy when attending trade shows. Vendors tend to hand out documents at trade shows like they were candy during Halloween. A nice leather portfolio helps keep the stack of papers neatly organized.
Lots of folios also have calculators built into the inside pocket. Many of these are solar powered so you never have to worry about changing out old batteries. A calculator in your leather portfolio can instantly boost client confidence if you are responsible for handling their financial investments, tax preparation or even if you are just giving them an estimate for a product or service they plan to purchase. From the client’s perspective, figures obtained with a calculator are more reliable than those figured by hand or in your head.
A Leather Portfolio Helps You Look More Professional.
When wooing a potential client, you will probably never get another chance to make a good first impression. Business card holders help keep your cards crisp, clean and looking like they just came from the printer. Some professionals prefer keeping a separate business card holder but an all-in-one leather portfolio that includes a clear pocket for business cards may be more convenient for you.
Fumbling around for a pen when you need to take notes or jot down some information for a client looks very unprofessional. However, carrying around pens in pant or shirt pockets is a disaster waiting to happen. A nice leather portfolio will have built-in pen holders so you will always have all the tools you need close at hand.
