I probably joke too much
And don't let people finish talking before I chime in.

What's your biggest flaw when dealing with customers face to face?

I really try hard not to screw it up, so i am really cautious on how i intereact with clients as it is hard to communicate with them. As was the case with a 75 year strong accent Japanese woman on friday. It was her discomfort with the price but i manage to pull through and got the job.

Too much tech talk. When you see their eyes glaze over, it's time to shut up.
People seem to think I am some hollywood movie star.
Then all the discussion is about me.

This is just a guess, but maybe just once in a while you say things that Paula doesn't think are funny ....
When you are talking to a customer, super impose one of Paula's expressions on your prospect's face that says in words that need not be spoken "That is not the LEAST bit funny...."
That might slow you down.
Or maybe she still thinks you are endlessly funny and giggles at your boyish humor all of the time

Not taking yourself to seriously but your craft very seriously I find is the best measure.
I think people will like and put up with a sense of humor but don't have a tolerance for
snarky narcissistic behavior.

mansplaining, for the most part they don't want to hear how many different solvents we used to get the gum, slime, marker, paint out...they just want clean carpets.
That goes back to my comment of trying to sound smarter than I really am. It's a terrible sickness us men have.

Talking about myself instead of them. I try not to by limiting the I word.

I tend to get caught up in a conversation that has nothing to do with why I’m there. Once I realize it’s happening, I’ll walk away while either is talking with no warning. It’s probably rude.
