adjusting

I spend a few hours today looking at open hours, in the $5 million and up range.  It is amazing how some people live. 

But I am equally amazed at the many brokers who have come to view these apartments.  All are women.  Aged 30 to 80.  And most are exquisitely dressed.

Wow. I’ve just uncovered the perfect reason to buy designer clothes.  If I’m going to sell to the rich, I’ll need to dress like them.

Then I come home. Alexander is meeting a friend from school and his friend whom Alexander doesn’t know. I ask,  “So did Daniel coordinate for you to all meet at a particular place?”  He looks at me blankly and replies, “Who talks like that?”  Not a 21 year old, I now know.

So I’ll have to learn to dress up and talk down (as in less formally, not disrespectfully) depending on my client. 

Hmmm.  I’m now learning all the stuff that wasn't covered in training.
