You show up and present your systems. Two hour later another sales person shows up and presents their systems. The systems and price are identical. However, your competition wears clothes that look more expensive than yours and because of this he is perceived as being more of an authority on computer systems. As a result the contract goes to him and not you. Would you consider it dishonest to dress a bit nicer in order to "exploit" this tendency in human nature and get the contract for yourself? @Khürt – Lets say that you are selling computer systems to a hospital.
