A messy office has a negative effect on your image.
Contractor offices are not known for their neatness, or orderliness. Since we typically visit our customers at their home or business, maybe that's OK. Or is it really OK to have a messy, disorganized office? What are the consequences? Does it cost us any money? I suppose that's the real question.
Sure, most of your customers never see your place of business, but if only one customer happens to drop by to pay a bill or pick up a part, you're caught. A messy office makes it look like you run an unprofessional business.
