I hear ya'll. I went to train for a day to install Hughes Net systems, and the guy I trained with was wearing a ragged t-shirt, shorts, and sandals! I couldn't believe it! Needless to say he was let go and now I get all the work. I always wear a polo style shirt with pressed starched jeans, and lace up boots. By the way I charge 175.00 for a professionally installed pole mount, cable trenched in conduit. I think the customer based their decision on appearance, and almost always pay with a smile on their face.
