Dress for Success
I have read many articles and opinions about how people should dress for success. Actually, just came by something a short while back from one of the guys on the TV show in L.A. about millionaire realtor or some such. The guy chooses to dress for success and is in a suit and tie each and every day. This is likely a very good idea especially because of the area and niche that the realtor works.
Is dressing up, suit and tie the best regardless of the niche or location? I’m not so sure myself, and I think I subscribe to the point of view that it really depends on the niche because I don’t like to wear suits.
If you’re a realtor that specializes in in vacant land, would you be wearing suits with Armani shoes?
If you’re a realtor that specializes in Alaskan wilderness homes, do you wear a suit and tie?
If you’re a South Phoenix realtor like me, do you wear a suit in tie during the summer when it averages over 100 degrees for over 60 days in the summer?
Also, would people that buy and sell homes in your area appreciate or expect you to dress up? Surely they want somebody that looks the part, is presentable, and surely knows what they are doing. Not sure that short, a torn t-shirt and flip flops is the way to go on listing presentations in my area, but as far as I’m concerned a suit and tie are too much for my area and for thank I am glad.
What is your area like, and are you fully dressed up? Course if you work in a nudist community your suit takes on a whole new meaning.
