The mix of knowledge, positive attitude and of course what our interior reflects through our exterior shows us that appearance does matter; that inevitably leads us to delve a little deeper into how we “as clients” would like to be served by a professional we are hiring.
That is why empathy is important, and at ZARZA we remember that the first impression is often what earns us a work contract, because it is not only important to be good, to be excellent at what we do, but also to reflect it; thus, between two candidates for a position, with equal knowledge and skills, with a positive attitude, the one who shows up better presented has the winning hand. That is why, since appearance does matter in business, present yourself with a zarza Attitude.
Appearance: For the “books” that speak from the cover
That is why appearance does matter: being the best and looking the part. A Magnificent Professional will arrive fresh, alert, groomed, smelling good, in clean clothes. For if someone arrives disheveled, with dirty nails, in unkempt clothes, to tell you that they want to help you succeed, no matter how good they may be, or in your case, no matter how excellent you are as a professional, the opportunity to prove it will not come, because your appearance is not in line with what your words say. The first impression often seals the beginning of a close and long business relationship, as it plays an important role in being a dominant company in the market.
Formal is not always what is right
After the first impression, which is generally at our clients’ office, sometimes you have to go out into the field to work, and just to give one example, on the farms where ZARZA has implemented software to locate each of their heads of cattle, our engineers turn to a different dress code, which is not careless but is informal. It would be difficult to work in a formal suit in these conditions: good jeans, a suitable and comfortable shirt, footwear appropriate for the terrain, skin care with the use of sunscreen, a rain cape, etc., and all this without neglecting grooming, because appearance does matter in these cases too.
Tip: Dress the way you would like others to dress for you!
With your appearance you flatter or displease. At all times you must take care and create a pleasant environment and, as we explained before, each meeting setting must be clear in order to properly follow the appropriate dress code — for example at lunches, dinners, sometimes even breakfasts, whether in the city, in the mountains, at the beach, on farms, in a private home, or in workplaces where safety equipment such as helmets, harnesses, etc. must be used — we must always strive to be seen as, and convey, what we truly are: professionals. A dominant company in the market that includes the ZARZA element as “all-terrain” will unquestionably draw attention, because appearance does matter, whether we wear formal attire or jeans.
Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.Coco Chanel
ZARZA, being a dominant company in the market, where we believe appearance does matter because it puts us at the forefront to always bring the ZARZA Element to your business — when you get to know us and forge business ties with us, with our Engineers, you will soon understand that our appearance is the projection of the professionalism we implement in everything we do.
