Well as someone who couldn't sell a heater to an Eskimo, I say good luck to you. I would be interested to see your outfit, perhaps you could post a picture or two of the outfit you plan to wear.

I will start on a design for you. I have a couple hundred different Celtic knot designs- some are my own, and some I own the copyright to. I'll be sending you a PM.

I wish you the best of luck in this venture. Like you said, you have nothing to lose. You never know until you try. I think the kilt will help you "get your foot in the door." Also, I think it will leave a lasting impression. Potential customers will remember the man wearing the kilt.
I remember reading an article or two about some business owners that had a significant increase in business when they and their employees started wearing kilts. If I remember correctly, one business owner was at the point of going out of business, and wound up having to hire additional people. I think they were wearing Utilikilts, but can't remember for sure.

BroosterB1, I hope it works out for you and keep us informed. I can't see how the kilt could have nothing but a positive affect.

My father was a securities salesman who was rich before the crash and even made a good living through the Depression and the War. He'd be ecstatic about your idea. I remember his telling me that the first law of selling was that it doesn't matter how many times your prospect says "no", the first time he says "yes" you've won!

Go for it!!

Brilliant idea! I hate cold calls (making them AND receiving them). However, If someone showed up at my door in a kilt, I'd definitely give them the time of day!!
Best of luck!
