There is no quicker way to depress income and public goodwill than to have dirty quarters and slovenly staff.
While we know it takes income to make a place look smart and to have elegant quarters, this is not the point of this policy letter.
Clean floors, walls, woodwork and service rooms require very little. Clean washrooms and proper paper towels and tissue are an ordinary requirement.
As the world goes more beatnik it is hard to keep up a standard of cleanliness and good order.
But it can be done.
And for the sake of income and goodwill it must be done.
The world has been educated by business to a tradition of clean quarters and smart service. We must at least equal that.
Staff should be uniformed in orgs that can afford it. A clean well dressed staff inspires confidence and begets the payment of bills and more service.
The private Scientology practitioner fails mainly on his personal lack of professional address to his clients and his personal dress is sometimes pretty grim. This is what costs him his income.
An org, to get anywhere at all, has to look like a real org and its staff must look like professionals. Until they can be uniformed, they can be clean.
Similarly, until you can have really swanky quarters you can at least have clean quarters, walls, W.C.s and things picked up.
A clean set of quarters and a neat, professional looking staff can increase your income by about 500%.
