At Home Dress Code
This has long been a topic of conversation and also one for the cartoonists. When
you open a home-based business, there is a certain amount of freedom that
comes with it, especially in the area of personal grooming and dress code. The
facts are somewhat different than what is perceived. The rig of the day for homebased business operators is not something pink and fluffy!
For many years now the business community
have opted for what’s known as dumbing
down. The effect of dumbing down can be
seen on the street, in call centers and even
in travel agencies too.
It’s the way the human mind works. Most
people wish to associate with winners – not
losers.
Sorry to say this - the pink, fluffy PJs have got
to go. Lazing around in your old tattered
jeans has got to stop. Spending time to put
your selling-self together for a steady day of
prospecting is right on the money. Look
sharp. Sell sharp. Also, if a client says, “Yes I
want to book that, can we meet in 15
minutes?” you are good to go and go now
versus a complete re-fit before you head out
the door.
What was once a haven of well-dressed
employees has become a cartoonist’s dream
as men sport 3-day old stubble, wear a classy
suit jacket with tattered jeans and sneakers
that house feet wearing red socks or no
socks at all. Women are equally up to the
mark with some sporting a pair of very
comfortable Crocs in lime green and a hair
style named bed.
When you go home to do business you must
create a new persona. You need a style,
you’ll want a reputation built on quality
information and best value service. Yo
