STUPID IDEAS and PRECISE Advice FORUM...to Make You Famous!

 

Okay, you and I both know that the only way to make it to the top is by doing things that AVERAGE people won't do. The greatest leaders in history, who by the way, are often the greatest salespeople in history aren't afaid to come up with, and execute on an idea that other people consider STUPID. Sending a man to the moon was JFK's Stupid idea. Boys and girls of different races going to school together was MLK's Stupid idea...and the list goes on.

So do us a favor and share YOUR STUPID idea with the world. Or post any sales, leadership, communication, marketing or inspirational tip that will make us all smarter. And thanks for coming!

Also, if you have a question you would like Brian to answer, post it and he wil respond.

See you at the TOP!

Re: Stupid ideas

Oooh, I'm going to use that one... Perfect timing...

Here's one I used just recently that got pretty good results. I work for Western Title and Escrow Company as a business development rep soliciting loan officers and real estate agents. We have very specific state regulated spending limits on things like this ($2.70 per person), so I'm always looking for things that are inexpensive and a little STOOPID.

So, I ordered some of those gum filled plastic cell phones. The Chickerolla flip phone. I took all the stickers off, and replaced them with our company logo. There's a perfect little spot for contact info inside the flip part.

Then I made a little postcard that says something to the effect of "call us to close your next transaction" with contact info and the escrow officers picture.

I've been dropping them off for the last few days, and have had a great response so far. People love the idea and it's just another way for us to get in front of them.
