Here's my situation, what combination should I try?

Introductions - New Users, Say "Hello"!

Hello, all! Let me start off by complimenting the community here - I don’t see a trace of trolling or flaming atypical of other forums I happen to be a member of. It seems as though you have a fantastic support community here!

Ok, a little bit about myself and some questions to follow, of course. Please don’t construe the following as being self-serving or pretentious, as that’s far from what I’m trying to convey. :o

I’m a 25 year old chemical engineer who’s in charge of all process engineering aspects of a DoD production facility (see: big shoes). I’m a very confident person as is, and command I high degree of respect from all I work with. I am a very approachable person and have a good amount of trust wih nearly everyone I work with. I have worked very hard to establish this rapport.

I work with around 200 people and have 5 people working for me directly. I am a Caucasian male and work with almost entirely with minorities (like 98%!) the majority of which are females. My direct superiors are all Caucasian males.

I’m EXTREMELY excited by the purported affects yielded by the products on this site, but before I order I want to make sure I’m not messing anything up by SENDING THE WRONG SIGNALS. I have worked very hard to establish trust and openness with a number of my coworkers, particularly my boss, and I don’t want to screw that up!!! :open_mouth:

That being said, on to some questions!

QUESTION #1 - PRODUCT SELECTION

I’m looking for a combination of products that will further amplify my affability and trust from my co-workers. At the same time, I DON’T want to make myself seem like a “stuck-up, know-it-all-young-prick”.:angry:

What do you recommend? A-314 and IO seem to be the favorites.

QUESTION #2 - COVER-UP

**My coworkers are particularly fond of my current scent, Aqua Di Gio. I have worn this for YEARS, it’s my olfactory cocaine. :smiley: ****Am I to mitigate the efficacy of the EOs if I wear my cologne in addition to the EOs?

**Well, I hope that’s sufficient for this n00bs exposition. Again, this site seems like an AWESOME resource and I hope to render some great product feedback when I begin to dabble in the art of EOs! Thanks again. :slight_smile:

Hey hows it going CbemE?

Question 1:
I would suggest going with Instant Shine, Instant Honesty, and Instant Openness. Instant Shine will attract them closer to you, Honesty will make them feel like they’ve known you forever so they’ll trust you and Opennesses will make them talk to you more often.

Question 2: No, it will help amplify it.

Good luck

Thanks for the fast reply! So you think it’d be wise to forgo the A-314 altogether and simply go with an IS/IH/IO combo to safely maintain & increase my current standing?

Well, as far as I know, A314 will boost respect, but that can create barriers, such as with your boss. Since your first starting out, i suggest you get the to-go packs of those three items

Awesome! I’m going place an order for the TOGO size of the items and see how they play out in the field…thanks for your hep! =)

Repped, although it’s not worth much at my level.:stuck_out_tongue:

Welcome to the forum.

You got some pretty good advice already, but read some of the posts on the men’s forum. Look at the sticky posts on top of the page especially the color chart. It’s a great place to see what reactions come from what mixes.

BlazingAzn88’s recommendations are great ones - Instant Openness, Instant Honesty, IS are great picks for you.

Even though you may not need A314 as much as someone who tends to be overlooked/perceived as too young and irresponsible, it is such a stellar product I’d hate to see you bypass it altogether. I think as long as you’re congruent, take the initiative socially, and balance it with lighter social pheros like IO and IS, A314 in small doses (try a single drop) won’t inhibit openness and will certainly magnify all your virtues and give you a mature and reassuring aura of leadership.

Thanks for the response - I am fairly certain I am going to wind up getting A314 in due time, I want to see how everything works out with the first round of ‘Instant’ products before I take the leap. :cool:

I also picked up Ammo and TUTH for shits and giggles…only to be tried during the after-hours, of course. :smiley:

Hi ChemE!

Excited to see you here. I agree with Carrie up there, I think you could mess around with A314 to good result.

I sent along your welcome gift certificate. :slight_smile: I know, I know, late. :rolls eyes: If you have any questions about ANYTHING, I would love to talk to you on the phone. Give me a call at 800 671 6464.
