Franchise-free colour analysis and personal style training with Kim Bolsover

I spoke to Kim for the first time earlier having completed my online training. I'd described my 'call' to friends as a 'test' but it couldn't have been more relaxed. Kim was full of great ideas and advice, I could have carried on talking forever. Thank you Kim. Great to talk to you, the queen of colour!

Hi Kim, I am loving your Colour Analysis Explained programme. Like you say, it's about nothing but colour - refreshing. I've only watched it once and learned so many new things. I did a colour course in the Nineties and couldn't find enough customers to make their monthly quota so I gave up. I didn't want a lot of customers anyway. I wanted to enjoy colour and I didn't with that. This programme is letting me do that. Thanks so much for doing this course.

Kim, I bought your colour analysis training in a box and I have to say the training is marvellous! I just had to say how great it is and that I will be checking out the wholesale colour supplies catalogue. I also find your newsletters really helpful and inspiring, thanks.

Hello Kim, I have been absorbed in your Colour Analysis Training videos and find them to be fantastic and exactly what I have been looking for, for over 40 years! In part 8 you do a Personality Questionnaire, could I please have a copy of these to use? Thanks. Kim’s reply – Amanda, the quiz together with the answers are in the online training resources included with your course, just login and scan down the document list.

I recently purchased your online course Fabulous Colour and have learned so much after just the first day. I'm gearing up to put myself out there as a color consultant. I'm 50 years old and I'm having a 'do-over' in my life. Your no-nonsense attitude and sincere support are not only encouraging, but also inspiring.

Just ordered [colour analysis training in a box] ! Can’t wait to learn more from you. I use a regular 4 seasons colour testing for my clients and it has been very successful. But I want to expand my horizons and learn everything about a tonal method.

I'm very happy to inform you that I have finished studying the colour analysis in a box and I feel really confident to have started the colour analysis on my clients. As you are aware that I am already running my Image consultation business, a well-informed study on this subject has helped me develop my business further. I now request my diploma. I have also purchased the colour analysis starter set which I am looking forward to.

Thanks, Kim! I'm thrilled to get started on this venture. Thank you for providing such thorough training materials; I feel much more confident about color analysis after finishing your [fabulous colour analysis] course!

First I would like to say congrats for your amazing performance on the [fabulous colour analysis] course. Second, I would love to say thanks for giving to us the opportunity to have 3 coaching calls with you, for me it’s more than a treasure! Let me tell you that I’ve studied with others previously and it’s been very, very interesting to contrast the different ways and I’m enjoying and understanding too, that the more I know, the more I still have to learn so I would love to prepare some very important questions for you. I can’t lose this opportunity! Big besos from España and thank you again for everything!

First of all I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Colour Yourself Fabulous sessions! I've loved colour analysis for more years than I care to remember but have only ever dabbled and never taken it beyond an interest, that is until now. When I found out that you were offering the tonal system training with the option to pay in monthly instalments I thought - no more procrastinating, time to get my kit and caboodle in gear!

Dear Kim, I am a huge fan of your training and blogs and I have gained a lot from undertaking the training both personally and for my business. Whilst I find colour clients rarely ask about my training, I do find business people and journalists in particular do, so would it be possible to have certificates for the colour analysis training and the advanced colour analysis training too please? [all training includes certification] I can then display them in my studio and it gives the journalists a perspective for their articles.

Dear Kim, I recently completed studying your Colour Analysis Training Package and wanted to personally say a big thank you! Your teaching and presentation style is so warm and natural. You really are a precious lady and a wonderful teacher and I have learnt so much from all the information you shared. I am about to start the Advanced Colour Analysis course which I am very looking forward to. Thank you again.

Dear Kim, I would firstly like to say thank you for such wonderful courses. I have just completed my Colour Analysis and Ladies Style courses and training manuals and both courses were so informative and enjoyable. I just need to get going now and gosh, I am so nervous! I absolutely love colour as I am qualified in Colour Healing Therapy and I love the psychology of it all, so am looking forward to applying my new skills.

Dear Kim, I am doing another Tonal Taster session based you your wonderful 2-hour talk/session and shrinking it in to ¾ hr - getting 50+ women to move about from seating positions will be a challenge help! Thank you for helping me initially with this some time ago. Your tips are always very useful and boost my confidence when I feel it’s such a long time since I used the method. Being a hair and make-up artist I only talk colour confidence a few times a year. Thank you again for providing such a good [Colour Analysis Training in a Box] course and wonderful ongoing support.

I have my one-day color analysis training, and I am really enjoying the class. Thank you.

Hi Kim, I recently purchased your online course Fabulous Colour Analysis and have learned so much after just the first day.  Now, I'd really like to purchase some supplies.

I have just finished listening to the 4th module of Colour Yourself Fabulous. I know that I will go back and listen and watch again to help the valuable information to sink in and get a handle on everything. I have taken the step and decided that yes this is what I want to do, to enjoy and enlighten other ladies on the joy of colour. These will be slow baby steps at first, but I am so excited on taking these steps. Thank you Kim for making me smile and for the enjoyable conversation yesterday.

Love this Kim. I can watch on my iPad anywhere. Also I like the interaction in the group of ladies. I found this [fabulous colour analysis] course answered a lot of my questions so many thanks for that. Also found it amusing too.

I recently purchased Colour Analysis in a Box and want to say thank you very much for offering it at such a great price. I recently did colour analysis training with a company in South Africa because it was affordable (i.e. cheap!). You get what you pay for! I learnt so much more from your first session than I did the entire course! I think your course is brilliant and very inspiring. I will soon be setting up my business and feel so much more confident about it now. I will be ordering my supplies from you and just have a couple of questions before I do so. Thank you and I'm looking forward to doing business with you.

Dear Kim,  How are you? I have learned a lot by watching your [colour analysis] training, once again thank you so much. I have really enjoyed the way you explain things; simple, funny and so useful.  Thank you so much.

[personal style course] I love how you are authentic and resonate with ‘the person’ and make them feel acknowledged and known.

Just a quick line to say how very much I enjoyed the style training – I expected the usual ‘if you’re this shape you wear such-and-such a cut of jacket’ etc – SILLY ME!!! So much more and wonderful insights into how to pitch my business.

Thanks for another great [style] course! I learned so much and am amazed how much more addicted to style I am! I can’t stop analysing people’s body shapes – hope it’s not too obvious to the people I’m studying as I do want to make a name for myself and promote my business but don’t want a prison sentence!

I carried out a style class on Tuesday and the ladies absolutely loved it and in fact want me to do colour and shape with them. It’s exactly as you say… theatre! All great fun and lucrative too!

Thank you very much for the Ladies' Style course. As on the Colour course last time, it was fantastic: Informative, interesting, fun and very very thought provoking. I must admit I feel much clearer now as to how to approach my business, and how to get the information I am passionate about across to my customers in a style to suit them personally. I am now analysing everyone, and am constantly disappointed in how people are not making the most of themselves, there's definitely work to be done! Thanks again for a fabulous course.

I want to thank you for the Mens Image course. It is just amazing! I’m learning so much and the information is priceless. It is very convenient and easy with the short videos. The notes also help a lot and are clear and structured. And I need to tell you that you were right once again – men do pay good money and don’t question the price.

I’ve made a proposal for a total style analysis (colours, shape, scale, style) and online shopping. I will charge the same fee as I would for a lady but only have to spend one-third of the time working with him. So overall, I’m earning 3 times as much for the same time investment, and at the same price, and he said yes immediately. He is interested in getting dressed for dates, so I’ll do my best to be one of his wedding guests one day!

Kim your method is brilliant and has made a huge difference to my life - less wasted time shopping and knowing how to look great easily.

[personal style course] Life is for Living. That’s why I love working with you.

Thank you very much Kim, I’ve upgraded from the DVD version to the new online [personal style] program. The sound quality again is so much better and the extras are brilliant too! Thanks again.

Thank you, Kim, for taking time and replying to me! I appreciate your support, I’m happy to have found the contact to you and will keep you up to date, how my project in Portugal is going. What makes your content precious for me is your experience and client-centred approach.

Thank you for a brilliant [ladies' personal style] course - I haven't had time to draw breath since I got back! Yes, my brain has been working overtime, I'm going to sit down over the weekend when I've got some peace and quiet, read through my notes, download all the bits and pieces I need to and begin to put my newfound knowledge into operation. I feel that I gained a wealth of know-how this week, so thank you for your expertise and guidance, and for the fun way that you put it all together! I am still really excited. P.S. I think you'd be very pleased with the dramatic / creative look I am sporting today!

Hi Kim, I’m loving all your training. Many thanks for sharing so much wonderful [personal shopping] material.

Last Friday I received my Lady's Style course and I've been watching it during this weekend. It's so useful, thank you! I love your way of teaching, this made me reflect upon the fact that maybe I'm not so visual as I thought, the pleasure of listening to your voice could transform me into auditory!

The personal shopping course videos are very helpful. Ki̇m is great - No surprise there.

I have started watching your Personal Style videos and I love your training style - friendly, thoughtful and genuine. Up to part 7 – nearly there!

I love everything I've received so far including the personal shopping course. I can't wait until I receive the drapes and tonal fans.

I adore the way you see and teach colour analysis and personal style. I have never met a mentor who puts the client’s individuality above their own ego. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from you and to experience your approach. Thank you again for your generosity, your support, and the incredible depth you bring to this work.

I will be in touch soon with more questions, I'm sure.

After the style training I am having great fun even for myself – I bought myself a lovely black and white striped jacket today – it looks fab co-ordinated with white or black! I had to shorten the sleeves and did it according to the style advice you gave me. I didn’t realise I had been wearing my sleeves too long all these years – my daughter said I looked taller! Being only 4′ 10″ I am very pleased about that. Can’t wait to pass these and other gems onto all my clients! Thanks again Kim for all your help!

I thoroughly enjoyed the [mindset motivation] day and found the content inspiring and motivating. It was also great to network with other Image professionals. I drove home feeling brain dead, but woke this morning, after a good night's sleep, with my mind buzzing with ideas! Many thanks again.

As I am watching Kim teach in her training program ‘3 Steps to Success’ [Mindset Motivation Marketing], I just came across a quote that I must share with all of you, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Victor Frankle. Thank you for sharing this Kim Bolsover. You are Fantastic!

It is so helpful, Kim, that you are available as support with tips and business ideas as I get my business going.

My reaction at the start of the [mindset motivation] day was ‘Oh no, I’ve done all this before to no avail’ and I must admit I was somewhat negative, but my attitude and thoughts changed dramatically as the day progressed. Never has any course I have attended been totally geared towards my own type of business – they’ve always been so generalised and therefore somewhat lacking in relevance. Finally, I can only thank you for what is turning into a life and business changing day – it has given me the confidence and courage to do what I want and know is right for me. I have already changed the shop opening hours to allow me to have time to develop the image side of things.

I have just listened to your strategy webinar ‘putting the fun back into colour analysis’ and as always the content is brilliant and there is plenty to think about! Much appreciated.

I went through some Get More Clients modules again this week and I am so glad I am ahead of my ‘then’ goals. This bootcamp [course] opened new horizons to me. And it has been only a few months since. The questions ‘Who the heck you are, who do you want to work with, and what will you offer them’ seemed of less importance then but gradually have become the most important questions in my business.

Such a joy and pleasure to read your mentoring newsletters. They really cheer me up and give me hope and encouragement to re-consider my colour career all over again.

I am only just finished with Get More Clients Module 3. I thought I'll share a few things that chanced for me already. Firstly I finally have the courage to say no to seeing clients on Saturdays, unless it is a group. I simply cannot justify seeing one individual and sacrificing valuable family time. (It may be completely different for you). I needed to do Module 1 to have a fresh resolve about who I am.

Secondly the 'ethical bribe' was very helpful. In dealing with groups, I used to have lucky draws. But that meant most people got nothing. So for future speaking engagements or advertising opportunities, I would like to have a voucher for everyone.

Thirdly, thinking through my ideal client, I realized that there are two distinct groups. The 'older' ladies, and out of that flows the other group: their daughters, nieces, etc. I most often see a younger family member, before the 'older' person comes back for more services. I discovered that I am really comfortable working like this. I 'target' the 40 plus ladies, in terms of marketing, but I happily work with the 'spin off' younger ladies.

Lastly (for now), from Module 3, I concluded that I definitely do not want to have an online business. I find that way too impersonal. I like to be hands-on involved in my community. Maybe you are, whilst doing the 'long-distance' work. For me that would be a distraction, though.

Soooooo good to get clarity, that is one of the things that I love about the Get More Clients course.

Hello Kim,  I am really enjoying the things I read about colour analysis on your website. They really make sense. As a personal stylist in the making who is just trying to establish herself  thank you for this gift of knowledge you are sharing!

Yes, the bootcamp [Get More Clients course] has helped me – it has helped me realise that actually I don't really want more clients, or at least not in the way I thought!

You are an inspiration and have given me lots of valid tips and ideas for both my clients and my colour challenge program. Your success and enthusiasm is contagious!

I re-read the transcript, I'm a visual learner, I need to read to learn, and I felt so inspired that I planned 31 workshops with the funniest titles I could come up with for the next 5 months. Then I went through my clients' feedback forms and the questionnaires to make sure I listen to them. Then I went to bed happy that I had listened to a great strategy webinar. Thank you.

To sum up, every single one of the courses I bought from you was a great investment. Why should I try to figure things out myself, if there is a mentor who has been there, gone through it all, and achieved her goals?

Thank you again, you have clarified a lot and I definitely have shifted my focus.

Hi Kim, I thoroughly enjoyed your strategy webinar. I work with both men and women. All my male clients want to shop, 90% of my female clients start with a wardrobe edit then a shopping trip. I did your colour course to confirm to myself that I was on the right track with choosing garments for my clients but I want to take my business to another level by offering a full colour analysis. I would love to come and join you in a live session.

I gain so much from what I bought from you. You are so nice to tell us the secret of doing image business. One of the things I was thinking is that as I am doing business in China, it might involve the local culture of doing business. I am going to try what you sugguest and will let you know outcome if you are interested. I didn’t really get many 1-1 consultation enquiries through the year so I found what I learned from your course really helpful.

Thank you for all your feedback. WOW! I am still in awe at how you figure it out. I’m wondering how long before I get just as good as you to have that confidence and be able to figure out others that easily. I admire you and think you are a very intelligent woman with great achievements and I want to learn from you. Will talk to you soon!

I am absolutely loving my course with your company. I have learnt so much not only from your videos and theory but from my consultations as well. I have progressed really well with my business and I am now charging for my consultations. Thank you for all your help and advice, I have thought a lot about our conversations and I really feel like your courses give me great confidence and energy to keep me going.

Thank you Kim, I really loved listening to your colour strategy webinar. It made so much sense. I realise that I constantly try to determine somebody's colouring by a first impression of whether their clothing colours suit them or not so this was good to know that you do the same.  Your talk helped me trust what I already know and what I already have read extensively on regarding colour analysis.  Also it was very interesting to note that most men and some women would not actually enjoy being draped, depending on their personality. Thank you for the generous gift of your webinar.

Thank you so much for the online upgraded version of 3 steps to success [mindset motivation]. The sound is so much better than the original DVD version, Neil has done a fabulous job!

Have opted in for the Library and it truly is a treasure chest. Well worth the small monthly subscription. I learn something new every visit. Thanks Kim.

Let me tell you that the Library is a benediction and came at a perfect time. Thank you so much for those precious advices and the thoughts. This is a great and very helpful material Kim. Thank you so much.

Hi Kim. Thank you so much for all your valuable masterclasses.  You really do know your stuff.  I find all you have to offer such a comfort.  I do not feel so isolated. Cheers from Australia.

The Library membership is a steal of a deal Kim. Keep them coming!

Thank you so much for your warm wishes. I will download all the resources [toolkit] as soon as possible. I am absolutely loving the toolkit and planning to purchase more resources. Thank you for your support.

Hi Kim, I really enjoyed your Library article Creating a Business that reflects you. I appreciated your advice on rules, when you gave people 2 chances to reply to your e-mails. I was having the same problem where I was putting in the effort with people and having to chase them 3 or 4 times when they didn’t reply. I have decided to go with the 2 Rule! Thank you for the clarification.

Listened to the audio recording this evening while I was doing walk in the park. Great advice. Badly needed at the moment as I promote my Colour Bootcamp.

Brilliant! I have enjoyed listening this afternoon to a few of your audio pieces which took me ‘back to school’ in a very pleasant way. You are so good at what you do.

HI Kim, I am loving all your [masterclass] training. Many thanks for sharing so much wonderful material.

I just wanted to add how much I love the new Library content about necklaces. Brilliant Kim! Thank you.

I love this [Library] so much! One of the best investments ever!

Good evening Kim, I have just listened to the podcast 'Creating a business which reflects you'. I now know the direction I am heading in! I had been thinking of two directions. Now I have found only one after listing my likes and dislikes. I was going to be offering mother and baby taster sessions. I have found out I hate noise, I am not an earth mother type so working at mother and toddler groups may not be the best idea! Thank you so much, your words made so much sense when I listened to them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hello Kim, I've been studying the lessons of the step-by-step masterclasses and I feel the urge to say THANK YOU. I love what you teach and the way you teach it. You have the ability of turning something that could be judged "vain" in something deeply meaningful and intense. You really want to help people and you are teaching us how to do it. Your soul is so bright that it shines even through a recorded mp3! I love your voice and your sense of humour too.

Ellen emailed, “I’m going to do my first group talk soon, which I’m keen for but also a little nervous about! Any tips, always appreciated.” I offered two suggestions. Ellen replied, “Thanks Kim – I spent yesterday going through and picking out some of the Library items that looked useful for this, and will work my way through them over the coming days. Those were already on the list! I can’t believe how much you’ve shared there, it’s a fantastic resource.
