DRESS FOR SUCCESS
• This presentation will focus on general
principles of pharma attire.
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
First impression counts
• You only get one chance to make a good first
impression and one factor which has lot to do
with the impression you create
is
WHAT YOU WEAR!
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• A professional who doesn’t pay attention to
maintain a professional appearance ( formal
attire ) presents the image of not being able to
perform adequately on the job.
• Anyone who aspires to top management
should know that personal appearance counts
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• How seriously do you want to be taken?
• If you want to be taken seriously, you better
dress the part.
• Dressing appropriately not only affects how
seriously some people will take you but it can
impact your credibility.
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• People are sold, through visual perceptions.
• A salesperson with good sales &
achievements, in poor dress may be ignored.
• A sales person in good attire with poor
achievements ?
• A sales person in good attire with good
achievements ?
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• It takes only a few seconds for people you've
never met, to form perceptions about you and
your abilities. You don't have to utter a word.
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• The way you dress speaks volumes about who
you are as a person, because clothes always talk.
• How salespeople look, enhances or decreases the
customer's perception of their
• Professionalism.
• Level of sophistication.
• Intelligence.
• Credibility
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• Whether these perceptions are right or
wrong, they underscore how your appearance
instantly influences the opinions of doctors,
peers, and superiors.
• Being well dressed in a meeting or field work
you can influence these perceptions in your
favors.
• You should dress to impress.
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• There is no single set of rules that will work for
everyone in other professions.
• But in PHARMA there is single set of rules
that is being practiced at all levels and that
is……………
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• When you're in front of DRS, giving a
presentation, just plain talking, you need to
choose your attire to match the event.
• You should dress one notch of formality above
your audience. That means if they're wearing
shalwar suits , you may want to add a tie to your
routine ensemble.
• On the other hand, wearing a suit and tie in front
of an audience in pant shirt is realy a good idea.
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• A rule that I learned many years ago seems to
apply all the times and that is,
I should dress slightly above what the
doctors wear.
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
Ask yourself
before choosing formal attire
• What image do I want to project?
– For my company?
– For myself?
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• As a Member of SPL sales team you are
representative of the SPL in the field, and your
appearance should reflect the Company’s
professional image.
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• Cleanliness, neatness, good personal hygiene
and appropriate dress are expected from all of
you at all times.

Make sure your clothes fit
• It may sound obvious, If your clothes are too
big or too small, they are not going to look
good. Ensuring a proper fit applies to
everything you are wearing
Sanaullah Aslam (Product Manager)
• Field force need more than a professional look.
They need to be able to move in their clothes.
Narrow shirts, tight pants, or form-fitting coats
restrict movement.
• To capitalize on large body gestures, be sure your
clothes are tailored so you can move and make
sure they really fit.

immediately to your tailor. There is no excuse for
ill-fitting formal attire. If it doesn't fit, you must
