We accomplished our goal of reaching out to young, male students and providing them with information and a useful, necessary skill they can use and apply as they move forward in life.

"When you wear a tie for a sales pitch or presentation, you are on stage and are the man. You will not get discounted for your appearance" - Alan Armijo - Power Partners USA/ Tech International "Today interviews are done online. The necktie helps you stand apart from your competition." - Derrick Cabrera - John Hart Realty "People come into the bank to deposit their money and being well dressed gives them confidence that we are serious about their business." - Matt Godoy - Comerica Bank | Power Partner USA Presenters Alan Armijo - Power Partners USA - Tech International Derrick Cabrera - John Hart Realty Matt Godoy - Comerica Bank Debra Armijo - iTrust Marketing Dan Lundmark - LUNDMARK newmedia "There's an old saying: You never get a second chance to make a first impression" - Debra Armijo - iTrust Marketing |
2. The Give Away and Training
Included with the tie was a free haircut at Envy Beauty Studio in downtown Long Beach.
3. The End Result
The students realized the reasons and benefits of owning and wearing a necktie.
We interviewed students for their reaction and feedback. You could see their sense of accomplishment in learning how to knot their own necktie.
No more clip on ties for these young men. Each student walked out with a new appreciation for dressing professionally. They also now have a new tie to add to their collection. They felt confident that they could tie their own necktie and were looking forward to representing themselves in the best light possible.
The professionals all felt good about their contribution and plan on attending the next Power Partners USA Power Tie Give Away.
