How important is your presentation to you ?

[Dannypipe]

I'm gutted because I just splashed tanking paint all over the shins on my work trousers. (Snickers).

Normally for anything messy like that, I'll either preempt that I have that job and put on an old pair of trousers, or I'll stick on a paper suit (I know everyone looks like a class A tosser in those suits) but I hate turning up to a customers in trousers that are covered in paint, silicon etc.

I wear branded plain white t-shirts with the logo, phone number and gas safe on the arm. I did have branded hoodies, but they're knackered so now I just wear a plain black hoody.

I know hoodys are a bit yobo in some peoples eyes, but I love em. Wack the hood over your head when you dash out in the rain to the van. For us skin heads, it's a must!

Yes, Alan from Fortress tried to flog us two different shoe covers.

The first was the big heavy job that hirstgas showed. We concluded that few of our customers would buy them, as they were very clumpy.

He also showed us a "waterproof" shoe cover. Unfortunately, it failed the basic test, and water p1ssed through it, all over my desk.

End of presentation.

Ha! Oh dear.

Happy to get you a set as a special Danny, but I don't think we will be adding them to the stock profile.

 

[Dannypipe]

Don't put yourself out for me mate, but if it's an easy thing to do I would appreciate it. I'm in your Tunbridge Wells branch regularly so I could collect them from there. Any idea on the cost?

They sell them on here. I havnt got any so not sure what there like just saw them in a magazine in plumb centre the other day

Not cheap either but I suppose they'll last

 

[TomLane]

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Unfortunately customers can be very judgemental & I feel that I need to make a good first impression. Regularly buy new trousers & polos if they are too mucky & always keep a spare change of clothes in the van for the quote on the way home!

Just my opinion for what it's worth.

 

[kay-jay]

Im a tramp mostly.
Doesnt bother me much, people are just grateful that you turned up when you said you would. Also round here most people are tramps anyway...

 

[kay-jay]

Im off out to work now in my clean pants

 

[Ermintrude]

Silicone arrrr! Buy a cloth! Lots cheaper than trousers

 

[parkesy_plumb]

when i worked for dyno (plumbing not poo rodding) the company policy was to wear the blue over shoes at all times .... until i was in the loft replacing a tank and slipped on a beam and went straight through into the customers back bedroom ....
