I also hate to wear name tags simply because I always felt I was advertising RE/MAX or what ever company I was with. I am going to wear the "Jim" name tag for awhile and see what happens. On a final note I thought the conversation around writing a book or an entry every day is the path to wealth also intriqued me. Great intervieew Dean Thanks Jim A very interesting interview with Scott, I found myself asking the same question how could such a simple idea take off as it did and I am not talking about Scott I am referring to wearing a name tag and the approachability factor surfacese many times as he indicated.

I guess that would go back to what Scott said re- being to obvious.. or business oriented.. I guess it might turn people off. IDEA: 1. Wear the name tag for 1 week everywhere. 2. create business cards with a tagline on the back. i.e., "free online home evaluation.. visit www.. yourdomain.com OR FREE recorded msg. IVR etc. 3. When they approach you just be you... wherever the conversation goes when your leaving ask: "would you happen to have a business card?".. if they have one great.. if they don't doesn't matter.. you then pull yours out and hand them it and be on your way. I'll report back re- my idea. Thanks! Interesting concept for sure… any idea’s as to how to implement and direct response into your name tag.. such as a tag line or something?
