As a professional speaker, you will have to abide by a dress code.  It’s simple; dress well all the time.

Now this doesn’t mean that you have to constantly go around in a suit and a tie everywhere you go.  But, it does mean that you need to dress business casual at the very least.  Being groomed, clean, and smelling good are absolute basics.  Make sure you look good whenever you go out.

It’s a fact that how people perceive you will make a difference in how you’re treated.  When you dress well youwillreceive better treatment.  You will get better service from wait staff.  When you are traveling, you’ll get better upgrades for hotel rooms or rental vehicles.  Even in public areas like elevators, the person who is dressed well is treated with greater respect and given a higher esteem.

People assume that those who dress well have a greater status, greater social standing , and will act better.  Don’t take my word for it – test this for yourself.

Go to a mall where you can sit in front of a business that has a wall of windows where you can easily see inside.  Take note of the sales people or wait staff there.  When they interact with a customer, see if there’s a difference in their behavior between the customer who’s wearing casual clothing (jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, jogging outfits, etc.) and a customer who is dressed well (business casual, suit & tie, dress and heels).

You’ll be amazed at the difference.

Dressing well gives you instant credibility.  It’s a fact of human nature.  So use this to your advantage for your business.  Be your own advertising whenever you go out.  Just look your best at all times.
