Phunkedelik, I used to work for a boiler room style stock place, and they made you stand up when on the phone pitching stocks so you had a more aggressive mindset over the people you were calling.
Its kind of like psyching yourself up, or tricking your mind into playing the role better.

While we're on it, theres a fine line that needs to be established with giving out too much information, which can raise flags.
I find its on a case by case basis, so just feeling people out is helpful, but again, thats also a skill not easily honed.

i suppose my mind works in a different way, i feel like i can successfuly extract the information without having to change "mindsets" by changing atire. i view this more as a very inefficient way of getting things done. simply standing up i can see as having a slightly better affect however. its simple, and i can see how it can trick the mind. changing clothes into a uniform i see as ridiculous and a waste of time. i guess thats just how my brain sees it. :\
