Lol yeah because I chose to stick around with dad and learn shit than go do shit with friends. Go from school to work then home. Also. I don't think wearing clean gray tradie shorts and a collared t shirt with the actual company logo stamped on the front of it. As well as hair that's done nice and neat.

As I said. I don't go to sus out shops and stand around and talk shit. I go in, pull out the equipment, measure up. Note what's needed to remove etc and then report back to dad.

Maybe in a few years I can rock up and actually look like a manager etc and have workers do what we have to do now.

As for the age and experience thing. I cop that alll the time. Get people coming in asking for Mohsen. Then they proceed to go on about how young I look lol

Yeah I'm the youngest bloke at my work - When I have to work in stores (computer upgrades / new store / what ever) just got to walk in LIKE A BOSS! I actually use to wear nice pants and shirt when I started but it makes it a bit hard lifting / screwing around with computer boxes and shit, so these days just been wearing jeans and a t-shirt.. no complaints yet. (I work for the body shop) - I.T though so..

no homo.

I don't know what it is exactly that Mohsen does for work, but sometimes looking too white collar can offer up a negative image for your client. Really depends on what industry you are working in.

Take for example, when I used to do sales repping for my family's oil distribution company. Visiting automotive workshops, I found the owners treated you more like one of their own if I was wearing a logo'd up polo and a pair of steel caps. There's also much more sincerity to your "how's business going lately?" than if you are wearing a shitty tie and target spec shirt, looking like you've never picked up a spanner in your life. I've seen a lot of wanky looking reps in my time...so many of them fail to break the barrier between supplier and client because they can't meet them on the same level. Which is a shame, because it does help with customer loyalty.

Another point is that, if you already have the client on board, they probably won't give a shit what you are wearing from then on out. First impression is the most important one. After that, focus will be on the job being done properly and how you can save them money.

By 'proper' pants/shorts I meant hard yakka pants/sorts etc....So you actually look like a tradesman there to do a job, not someone walking in off the street for minimum chips and a chiko roll.

reminds me of pillowtalk on the austereo network

or the "net at night"

Apparently it's not on and you should wear dress pants and a button up shirt no matter what...

[dezz]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Alex or anyone else said you should wear slacks and a button up shirt or anything like it...

Psst...dezzy...Pat said to buy a suit / some $10 slacks from Target (pronounced Tarjay) and Alex basically +1'd his post.

when clients come over (after hours) to see my old man about quotes/plans etc he's in trackies. but when I/he go to see clients at job sites during work hours ofcourse you'd be wearing appropriate clothing although i've met up with clients a few times at sites in trackies but that was after work and being told by my old man to go coz he cant make it. if you're a tradie they don't give a f**k what you're wearing, your company's reputation is what counts.

just coz salesmen sleep in suits dont mean we have to.

If that's the case then f**k that, tradie world is completely different. You don't rock up in a suit if you're a tradie, and if you do, you're a fuck head.
