I was attending a wedding and my CEO called me frantically. One of the big deals I was working on wanted to close RIGHT NOW! Their CEO had come all the way from US and they wanted to get his approval. The meeting was in 30 minutes.
Well, I attended, gave a kick-ass presentation followed by 30 minutes of free-style stand-up commentary on why they need to buy whatever I was selling at the price I am letting them buy it at. Closed the deal!
Nobody asked me a single question about why I was dressed the way I was. I did get a lot of curious looks at the client reception though. To his credit, the CEO looked me right in the eye all the time and didn’t hesitate when he addressed me.
He did look slightly disappointed when I met him after a couple of months dressed in my regular clothes though :).
Hella awkward!
