We recently connected with Nicole Shelley Greenidge Prattico and have shared our conversation below.
Nicole Shelley , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Parents play a huge role in our development as youngsters and sometimes that impact follows us into adulthood and into our lives and careers. Looking back, what’s something you think you parents did right?
They always supported and helped us make decisions and gave us the confidence to do anything we wanted to do. Without confidence, you can do very little. They provided each of us opportunities to study abroad in countries other than the ones where we grew up. This awarded us a more advanced and broader vision of life, sociology and anthropology equipping us for a much more successful journey. Case and point, had I not gone to school in Denmark, I probably would not have discovered my love for diverse cultures and being a polyglot. These two characteristics have served me favorably in my career. Many of our clients are from foreign countries and my ability to sincerely communicate with them in their language with an understanding of their culture is invaluable. It’s part of what makes me extremely unique and irreplaceable.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
For 23 years Nicole Shelley Models and Nicole Shelley Inc have been providing state-of-the art services to enhance luxury events and talent management throughout the world. To our list of services, we now include VIP Model & Protocol Masterclass at prime locations around the world. Most aspiring models don’t know how to get started or are not trained tomorrow professionally. What we especially love about our master classes is that it is not only for models. It is designed to help anyone become, look and feel the best version of themselves. We are also the best resource for entering the model industry. Most clients do not necessarily know how to select talent. We are the best resource for assisting them in finding the right match. When it comes to event curation, we are the best at formulating ideas and bringing them to fruition. We save our clients from dedicating time to laborious guess work and tedious details. This allows them to do what they do so we can do what we do best, in their interest.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
Being passionate and dedicated to what we do as well as being consistent and sincere. Being reliable, trustworthy and confident about what we do has been extremely helpful in ensuring clients that we treat their business as if it were our own, with the utmost respect and care for sustainability, longevity and growth. Recently, we had a client who needed models for an event. She wasn’t sure if she wanted them tomorrow informally or present an actual formal show. We questioned her in detail with regards to her end goal. In the end, we came to the conclusion that an informal presentation was enough for objective. We didn’t try to pressure her into producing a formal show which would have been more profitable for us. It was more important to consult with her and figure out what was the most beneficial to her. In the end, what is meant for us, we will always receive and we will always be successful based on that level of sincerity. Some businesses are built upon tricking clients into purchasing what they don’t need aka unnecessary upselling. Fortunately, we never need to do that and we have built our fortune in spite of that.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Word of Mouth. Being consistent awards our clients the confidence to keep working with us and so they naturally recommend us to others. Our prospecting is minimal and organic.
