Conversely, they will be put off by rude or offensive personalities. Interactions between humans and companies are no different from those between humans themselves.Looks Are ImportantIt has been proven that attractive people have advantages in both their personal and business lives. It might not be fair, but it is a fact of life. The same fact exists for companies. Attractive companies have a distinct advantage over ugly ones.What makes a company pretty?
