Was speaking with a prospective new client

We were wrapping up our presentation and Q&A, I ended with any last questions? And he asked a question I had not prepared for...

"Can we see your car?"

So I brought him out to my truck and opened it up... he looked in, not too carefully, just a quick glance. I asked him why he wanted to see my truck and he just shrugged, and thanked me for my time, and said he would call back soon.

Any theories? I have no idea why anyone would want to see my car when I am pitching them IT services...

edited to correct spelling...

People are crazy and want to jump to wild, baseless conclusions.

That's why he wanted to look at your car.
 
Perhaps he draws a parallel between the quality/cleanliness of the vehicle you drive and the quality of services you might provide?

I've been told that several times... and was once told that I'd be let go if I didn't wash my truck (I had, the night before... but I had to drive over a dirt road, during a storm, to get to work).

I'd be handing them my keys and badge as soon as I'd got my breath back from laughing in their face. 😀
 
How you take care of your car says a lot about you in general. I would hire someone with an immaculately clean beater over someone with a dirty BMW with brake dust all over the front wheels and the interior littered with junk.
