DRESS FOR SUCCESS
The styles change and people have become less formal in general. There has been a significant drop-off in client presentation attire. Now more than ever it is vital that we dress the part of confident business men and women who look like bankers and talk like academics. Dress shirt and tie are minimum attire for client meetings of any kind. Accessorizing with watches is also encouraged so if you have a classic watch that needs to be fixed, you may contact a watch servicing provider. Image is vital to any business.

TALK FOR SUCCESS
Re-examine your presentation technique. The general populace has been slowly sliding into “you guys” and other “slangy” expressions that are intended to be informal and friendly, but actually contradict the impression of knowledgeable wise men and women that we profess to be. Fall back on formality with a smile as your “default” manner when communicating with clients or prospective clients. I promise you that they will be more impressed with that than with your friendly informality.
