Is it possible that a service provider is valued based on his dressing and appearance?

[Trush Jodie]

Some business people put in so much energy and efforts to dressing and looking good. They say it is all for the business. Is it true that looking good as a service provider impacts the value a customer would place on you? Is it not your skills that should determine that?

Psychological, physical appearance equally give signal that the service provider is serious, mental ready for the job. But unfortunately, it is not always like that. Physical appearance can be deceitful and misleading sometimes!

I have gone past the era of judging the skills of a person based on their physical appearance. Just show your ability. But also, try and dress well.

While how they dress does not actually determine their skills, their appearance is what people see first before anything else.

Although how you dress does not reflect the knowledge and skills you possess, it is good to dress properly in a business situation. This will give your client a positive first impression.

As a service provider, you don't dress like a tout and expect me to trust you enough to give you my job.

Carriage plays a important role in the way a person is generally valued. But that doesn't solely define value when it comes to business.

If you turn up as a plumber to my house dressing corporate, I would negotiate with you with more regards.

Yes, this is because appearance always speak volumes. if you look good even as a worker you command more respect

I run my own business and I am not under compulsion to dress corporate. But I look corporate so that a customer would take my business serious and not try to play with us.

It’s true that skills should be the main measure, but human nature leans on visual cues. A neat, professional appearance can instantly boost trust and credibility. Many clients equate looking organized with being reliable. While good looks can’t replace ability, they can help secure opportunities and make clients more willing to pay premium rates.

Yes you are right. We need to dress as we what's to be addressed. You need to always turn up neat and looking your best
