A People Don’t Buy Relationships, They Buy Specific Proposals As late as the 1870s surgeons could be seen performing open operations on their patients while dressed in Brooks Brothers suits with full Bemberg lining, corozo buttons, and double besom
flap pockets. They would wear a white pinpoint cotton dress shirtwith French cuffs, forward point collar, and the tie would be optional.There has been a lot of ink spilt over the topic of customer relationships.CRM, customer relationship management, has become a mini-field.And countless salespeople start their cold calls by telling prospects they’d like to develop a relationship with them.But people don’t agree to developing relationships, as a general rule.Mark thinks Megan is delicious and he asks her out for a cup of coffee. She agrees, they hit it off, and the next thing you know, they’re a steady item, they’re in what you could call a real relationship.Mark didn’t ask Megan out for “a relationship,” but for a latte or an expresso. Relationships evolve, but usually after we have agreed to do something minor that involves a relatively low amount of risk.Today, one of my international seminar partners sugge Today’s doctors don a pair of Wal-Mart scrubs in the color of the season and a pair of Nike Air tennis shoes to perform a three-hour operation. Professional dress has changed over the last 136 years, but have we (salespersons) gone too far? Sometimes I cannot tell business attire from casual attire. The term business casual does not apply to us, salespersons, or maybe we need a clearer definition of the term. Business casual is crisp, neat, and should look appropriate even for a chance meeting with a CEO. It should not look like cocktail or picnic attire. Avoid tight or baggy clothing; business casual is classic rather than trendy. When do you dress business, casual, or business casual? The answer to this question is will depend on your industry, business, and event. We seem to comprehend the words business attire dress and the words casual dress but the wording business casual dress seems to confuse most of us. Let’s set the record clear. Let’s define business for both men and women. SPECIFICS FOR MEN'S BUSINESS CASUAL Ties: Ties are generally not necessary for business casual, but if you are in doubt, you can wear a tie. It never hurts to slightly overdress; by dressing nicely, you pay a compliment to your host. You can always wear the tie and casually walk by the room where the function is held; if no one else is wearing a tie, you can discreetly remove yours. Shirts: Long-sleeved shirts are considered dressier than short-sleeved and are appropriate even in summer. Choosing white or light blue solid, or a conservative stripe is your safest bet. Polo shirts (tucked in, of course) are acceptable with a sport jacket in more casual situations. Socks: Wear dark socks, mid-calf length so no skin is visible when you sit down. Shoes: Leather shoes should be worn. No sandals, athletic shoes or hiking boots. Facial hair: Facial hair, if worn, should be well groomed. Know your industry and how conservative it is; observe men in your industry if you are unsure what's appropriate or are considering changing your look. Jewelry: Wear a conservative watch. If you choose to wear other jewelry, be conservative. Removing earrings is safest. For conservative industries, don't wear earrings. Observe other men in your industry to see what is acceptable.

While you are seated, your thighs should be covered. If your skirt comes to just below the knee, a slit to just above the knee might be acceptable. A very long skirt should not be slit to above the knee. Generally slits in the center back of a skirt – to facilitate walking and stair climbing – are acceptable. Slits to facilitate a view of your legs are not appropriate for business purposes. Slips should not be visible. Shirt / sweaters: In addition to tailored shirts or blouses, tailored knit sweaters and sweater sets are appropriate business casual choices for women. Cotton, silk, and blends are appropriate. Velvets and shimmery fabrics suitable for parties are not appropriate. Fit should not be tight. Cleavage is not appropriate for business and job search occasions.

Floors, whether they are carpeted or hard floors, are the largest horizontal surface in any building. As floors are the low point, this is where everything that gets tracked in or falls out of the air will collect.A normal adult will breathe in about 70 pounds of air each day and the air we breathe contains billions of dirt particles. As most people spend 90 percent of their day indoors it is important that the air is as contaminant free as possible.
