POLL: Advisers, what do you wear to client meetings?
Totally agree with deborah.kent I also used to wear a suit some 30+ years ago, but for many it was like putting up a barrier, break down that barrier with slightly more casual clothes, whilst still looking professional and my business took off.
Our advisers definitely do not wear hoodies (unless it's an internal meeting - given we are a virtual business) but the guys will wear a collared shirt, and dress pants, not jeans. They don't wear ties or jackets unless it's cold.
For the girls it's dress pants usually and a lovely top, nice jewellery and a smile :)
As I've said to many a client over the years, we are not like your "Collins Street advisers, with a 3-piece suit" we are relatable and will dress accordingly.
Make sure you are comfortable in the clothes you are wearing, as that's what will make a difference.
