Dress for Success

First impression is key. In my line of work I meet with business owners every day and a first impression plays a big part in whether or not I bring on the account.  With every meeting I have I am being interviewed as if I'm applying for a job. Every day I take an extra 15 min to make sure everything is perfect because I know that if I look the part Ill most likely get the "job"

I looked around the web and found this to be pretty helpful for people who are going into a job interview, in sales, or just want to make good first impressions. Its a dress code or just some advice on what a person male or female should wear to an interview or meeting.
