Breaking the ICE

HELLO my name is Bob.
Have you found that it is more difficult to start the conversation than keep it going?
Could it be that you are the most knowledgeable real estate agent in your market and no one knows how much you know because that High “I” style is just not your gift?
You have the gab, just not the gift of gab…you know, just can’t seem to kick it off?
I think I might have a way to help…yep,
Tink about This:
“Hello, my name is Bob!”
“Hello Bob…nice to meech you!”
“Well…Carrie…nice to meech you, too!”
“What a beauty of a day…wouldn’t you say?”
“The best this spring!”
…and so on “Happily Ever After…”
My bright red disposable “HELLO my name is” sticker high up on the right breast of my shirt says…
“YOU start”
“I’m ready if YOU start”
“I got gab and just a little short on the gift of gab”
…but, if you start…I’d love to play! In fact, I can’t wait to spill the beans on this conversation we are about to have…
So, do you have the GI issue Brand X name badge? That’s nice! Keep wearing it.
Got one that says: “Talk to me, First.”
Got one that says: “Make the move…go ahead…try me!”
By now, your thinking of how this thing could put you out there…right where you wanna be….let’me finish the post with one little story!!!
So, I was wearing my red sticker after one of those fun EARLY morning networking events and I don’t drink the coffee there (that’s another story) and stopped by my third place to pick up a cup of Pikes double vanilla 1 7/8 inches room and FORGOT I had the sticker on…
Well, my game was totally on after 90 minutes of speed dating and infomercializationing…so, Carrie the Counter Gal says to me…three steps from the counter…”Good mornin’ BOB !!!” loud so everyone can hear and the announcement stopped them from telecommuting…I did not know Carrie very well and defitely not on a first name basis…BEFORE today!
I took the conversation to the highest level…enthusiastically connecting and finishing with the hook…let me know if I can ever help you! She asked…”So, what do you do, BOB?” I had to tell her…just in case she needed a real professional to help or whatever…
Went right over the office supply store, picked up a pack of 100 and a Sharpie. Total new marketing line item expense, $1.45 per month…huh? Where am I going to get that kind of money for marketing?
I have my daughter write my name on the tags now…you should see their faces when they think I can’t write…we put little quotes under my name…you know motivational…everybody can’t what to see what I’m wearing…now, it’s a fashion statement…who would have thought?
Love to hear what you think of my new IDEA to turn Socializing into a Simple little Nudge Technique (Permission…if they talk first, you have permission to be brilliant!).
Tink outside the Box..would ya?
