Do You Smell Good?
~ By Jan Tincher

Did you know your sense of smell is one of the first senses to form? It's one of the most powerful anchors you can develop. . .

Given this, can you think of one of the odors that turn your stomach? And doesn't it upset you on impact? Your nose knows. You recognize the odor and a memory is evoked. If it's a bad memory, your stomach has a bad reaction.

Usually, it's a food odor, right? But what about other odors? What about dentist or doctor's offices? Hospitals? Funeral homes? What about the school gym?

On the other hand, what about flower scents? For a long time roses made me think of funerals, and I couldn't appreciate the smell. I'm sure many of you have several of your own scents and odors that evoke memories, good and bad.

Now, if you are a professional person reading this, imagine your office. (If you're not a professional person, think about the last professional person's office you frequent.)
Does your client or visitor know what type of business he or she is in the minute he or she opens the door? Such as a doctor or dentist? If they were anxious or nervous in the first place, just think how they are feeling THE minute they step in the door.

Scents affect all of us. If we are in a business that requires personal visits from clients, customers, or visitors, that is the first area we can affect them -- positively or negatively.

A client was telling me about her visit to the dentist. She was in two different dentist's offices within couple of weeks. The first one, she was very aware it was a dentist office the minute she opened the outside door to the foyer -- she wasn't even in the waiting room yet. The second dentist's office, she got past the foyer and into the waiting room and still no dental odors. She said her stomach did not get uptight as a natural reaction to the odor, and she enjoyed the visit -- simply because she didn't have an old memory that she had to deal with immediately.

Your sense of smell is a powerful anchor you can develop. When you want people to have a good time, whether it's at your home or office, make sure the scents are pleasant.
