Session 130
Anonymity is Bankruptcy
He calls himself (and that's who the world says he is, too) "The NameTag Guy." Scott
has been wearing a name tag for more than 3024 days now (that's
over 8 years). Why? For Scott, it's all about "approachability." He asks, "What would
your life and work be like if you lived in a 'Cheers' world— a world where everybody
knows your name?" Being anonymous in this day and age is an invitation to business and
personal bankruptcy. Savvy marketers have taught for years that we have to get to know
our customers and prospects. But the question Scott is asking is, "What are you doing
now to have your prospects and customers get to know YOU?"
The author of seven books including HELLO, my name is Scott, The Power of Approachability, and How to be That Guy and Make a Name for Yourself, Scott now speaks and trains the likes of STAPLES, VERIZON Wireless, Boeing, Prudential Financial, UniGroup, Coldwell Banker, Manpower and Hyatt Regency in the fine art of connecting authentically and in a meaningful way with their customers and prospects. His message is something all network marketing professionals and would be's need to learn.
In this Session we spoke about why if you don't have a blog you are out of your
mind (even Scott's dog Paisley has a blog). Throwing away your business card (and
having a "Purpose Card" instead). How to get passion in your conversation. Some
great questions to ask that open people wide for what you have to offer. Why you
don't need a website, you need a web presence. The value of impatience. Your answer
to the question: "How would you treat people if you weren't trying to sell them
anything?" And more… much more.
