John Malloy's "Dress for Success" and he has one for woman - "Women's Dress for Success". Even though this book was published over 25 years ago, the message is still the same. If we want to be treated as a professional we need to dress like one.
Have you ever seen a lawyer (man or woman) appear in court without having a suit on? Most large corps have a dress code and except for the full makeup is almost identical to the dress code the TC is requiring.
In this market of deminishing business anything we can do to help us stand out from the pack will work to our betterment. And those that are serious about this as a profession and a business will do whatever it takes to improve their business. Now the hobbyist on the other hand will continue marching to their own beat and not let ANYONE tell them how to dress, act, etc. because this is only EXTRA or PIN money to them and they can afford to be independent.
On this board about a year ago, one young man said that he thought it was alright to go to signings in jeans and tee shirt! One of the local notaries (who is always dressed to perfection and extremely professional in her dress and demeanor) had been referring closings to him that were too far away for her to do, IMMEDIATELY stopped referring signings because she felt if she referred him and he turned up dressed that way that it would be a reflection on her.
This is what the TC is trying to say, we ARE a reflection on the lender and the TC's and they want to insure that it is the right image that we project. |
