<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Well, Elliot. =
Nowadays my
standard dress is slacks with a long sleeve dress shirt and tie. =
Especially if
I'm going out to a high dollar area like Scottsdale. I've done it for a =
couple
of years now, and you really do get used to it. It gets to the point =
where if
I'm doing shop work and wearing jeans and an emergency comes up, I =
really want
to change before I have to go out to a customers house. Depends on the =
area I
suppose.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I haven't been in =
very many
houses that weren't properly cooled here in the summer months, but if I =
had, I
wouldn't hesitate to take off the tie and get comfortable. Maybe they'd =
get the
message and turn up the AC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Lately though, I've =
been
collecting a whole lot of nice polo shirts with logos on them. I've got =
four
Yamaha shirts, one Baldwin, and two of the really neat PTG shirts. I =
figure
"Hey, these are appropriate, clean, and I don't have to wear a
tie!"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If you want to make =
a good
impression, just dress cleanly, be friendly, and ALWAYS do =
more than
the customer asked you to do. Five minutes worth of voicing, or =
adjusting things
that are grossly out of whack, and the customer will notice that way =
more than
what you were wearing that day.</FONT></DIV>
