Appearance

[Eliot Lee]

Hello,

    I was just told by a senior tuner here (Jim Coleman Sr.) that if I
change my appearance by wearing a shirt and tie, instead of wearing casual
dress, jeans and polo shirt, that I could increase my annual salary by
$30,000.  He said there was a Yamaha study 20 years ago about this.

    Have any of you noticed an increase in business by upgrading your
grooming?

    The problem is that here in Phoenix it is so hot, many homes are not
properly cooled, I shutter to think how much I would suffer with the top
button fastened wearing a tie, and to wear a suit coat over that would
really be unbearable.

    Do any of you take off your tie and open your shirt after making the
first impression?

    We small potatoes want to know.
