I just roll up in my work gear. steelcaps, chainsaw pants, fluro t shirt and whatever motorcycle gear Im wearing. Often I have sawdust stuck all over me, I have a resin stain at gut level from carrying logs out and sawdust falls out every time I get anything out of my pockets. (always have some puppy chow for my dog which is a hit with other dog owners when there dog thinks your christmas)
Its a stupid little thing but we live in a steep city, alot of stairs, I make a point to run up the stairs approaching the house (well I do it normally anyhow). I know it sounds stupid but people comment often that Im the only tradesman they have seen do that, that I must be fit. Had more than a few clients hire me because of that over PRICE after the other guys stumble up the stairs to do the quote.
Often have clients comment either on the size of the other guys vehicle or how he looked like he didnt do any of the work (to clean, to tidily dressed, to fat, to old etc.)
Always translates into "congrats you got the job"
