Yes, and for many customers of various services – real estate, financial, etc. – that service provider’s appearance is more important than the substance of what s/he is saying (or doing). That’s a simple fact. Unfortunately.
There’s a reason that many folks (professionals and non-professionals alike) drive nicer cars that their compensation affords them: the people they’re trying to impress (or persuade) buy into the superficiality often enough to make it worth the extra cost.
In too many cases “faking it until making it” works because too many people can’t see through the guise.
To quote PT Barnum, “A sucker’s born every minute.”
