Before I got into the world of sales, I hated dressing up. Whenever I had an interview, I would always happily ditch the suit when I came back home. I hated my high school prom because I had to dress up.
After I entered the world of sales, I quickly changed my opinion. Dressing nice is not only a good way to impress people, NOT dressing nice is a sure way to lower their opinions of you.
If you're lucky, you can grab a nice suit right off the rack at a retailer such as Men's Wearhouse. If you are really lucky, you can grab a suit at 95% off retail value at a Goodwill or a Saver's. Most of us, however, will need to get our suits tailored to our specific body type.
A good tailor should not run you down too much money, but even if it costs a pretty penny, a well-fitted suit can make any salesman look better. But if the suit does not fit well and is not tailored, you may as well go into the office wearing a clown suit every day because that is exactly how you look to people.
I have a good relationship with my tailor and so should you. My tailor takes care of my suits for less than what he charges most of his customers. I don't get it for free because he still has to make a profit, but I save a little cash and my suits get tailored a little quicker, so why not be nice to him
If you are not wearing a suit when you are in a sales role, you are doing it wrong?
Am I right? Do you agree or disagree? Any other fashion suggestions? Please comment below!
