In all seriousness, lose the beard and trim the sideburns.

I weighed the option of shaving when I had a few new clients one after the other. My existing clients don't care, but you have to make a good first impression. I didn't shave though. Figured I am established enough and I've decided to wear the beard until summer, I like the look. Once it gets hot, we'll see what happens.
