I remember when I was a logistics coordinator at a major pottery distributor there was one ocean freight rep that would always be decked out in a suit and tie, nice shoes, and a pocket square. He was super knowledgeable and could answer any questions. It’s been years since I have been in that role but I still remember that guy. So my question is: do you think wearing a suit, and I mean suit specifically not just nice clothes, can or has helped you close sales?

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Jessica, new here and excited to learn and connect with all of you. I’m really looking forward to sharing ideas, picking up tips, and just hanging out in this space. 😊

Critiques welcome! Indeed - I have one: I think this dress shirt is too big on me. I might be time to retire it. It can take studs but it's also not a proper black tie shirt. Office is finally warm when I walk in again. They made quick work of getting out the old HVAC unit and putting in the new one.
