A shoeshine and a smile are never out of date

Styles change, and your shoes may not be the kind that should shine, but if they are, they should.  That is a part of the packaging of the product and service you sell.  The smile is a universal component of all sales. Get good at it and you will earn a good living as a result.  People like to do business with people they like, and having a sunny countenance makes people like you.  Few people like a sourpuss.  Given the choice of being happy or sad, why not smile on the brighter side of life.  Brightening the days of others is not a bad way to get them to see you.  No need to lead with one-liners and a song and dance routine, but being positive in your outlook and looking like it, is what most sales professionals adopt as part of their stock and trade.

I have to admit that I shine my own shoes biweekly.
