Impress Your Boss … Wear a Watch
Doesn’t that sound easy ? I know, it also sounds a little self serving but if it works, why would you care ? So why do I think it works ? Well, the other day I went into the office and I had worked myself up into a fever pitch over the previous few days to ask for a raise. I marched myself right into the boss’s office … well, let’s say I asked his secretary if she could ask him if he had a minute. So I’m giving him my song and dance on why I deserve a raise and he interrupts me to comment on myMôntrèk Round Watch with PVD Coating. Yea, I know we sell these watches but I think he was surprised that I actually owned one and he commented on how business-like it looked and viola, a raise. Now I know you think that is all probably a crock and I don’t think, by any stretch of the imagination, I got that raise only because of my Môntrèk, but I do know that any edge is an edge. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this article: “Your Body at Work: A Guide to Sight-reading the Body Language of Business, Bosses and Boardrooms” by David Givens. Everything you do means something: the shoulder shrug, the pursed lips, hands on hips, and more. So what about wrist watches you ask ? From the article, “Many young people no longer wear wristwatches, since their cell phones tell the time. Givens says this is a mistake in many workplaces, since a watch is a symbol of respect for time.” So make that wish for a raise come true … work hard, be productive, and for that little extra edge to put you over the top, don’t forget to wear your Môntrèk Watch.
