Don't we all, like Joe, love having minty fresh breath. I don't know about orange juice but I know I lose that minty fresh feeling with my first cup of coffee. Being I love coffee what is a salesperson to do? With a tiny bit of research I found an article posted on The Mayo Clinic's website. If you click on the picture it will take you to said article.
As for me I keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in the office at all times. After coffee and prior to a client coming in I always make use of my dental tools mentioned above.
When I was an active Real Estate Broker I do not remember any of my agents having trouble with halitosis but I did have one agent who was always chewing gum (nicorate) and I did find that annoying but it certainly was better then him lighting up and smelling like smoke and having smokers breath.
If you are a new agent consider how bad breath may turn off potential clients. You may be witty and/or cool but that charm may not get through your bad breath. If you love coffee like me then keep some mints or gum in your pocket. Good hygiene is essential in the sales business.
