Dress For Success On The Phone!
There are more and more Americans today working out of their home and they think because they are working where no one can see them they don't have to dress for success. If you are one of those Americans, you are losing your edge.
It is imperative that you still shower every morning and shave and put on some nice clothes. I know that the temptation is to walk around unshaven and in your PJ's or whatever is comfortable. It is a HUGE mistake!
Without realizing it you are cutting your productivity considerably. To realize this all you have to do is remember the feeling you have right after you shave, shower and put on some decent clothes. You see if you feel sharp you will perform better. It is a proven fact.
That feeling carries over in the way of confidence even over the phone. Your mind is more alert and you feel sharper consequently affording you the opportunity to be more aggressive and make better decisions. There was an old commercial (now I am REALLY dating myself), for razor blades, I think it was Gillette, but the commercial could not have said it better...Look Sharp, Feel Sharp, Be Sharp!
