Are You a Secret Agent for Your Business?
I have to say thank you to Jay McHugh one of our team members in SendOutCards for coming up with this tagline:
Are you a secret agent in your business?
Jay first developed this tag line in his real estate business but it translates extremely well to what we do in network marketing. Are you a secret agent or does everyone know what you do?
Most people are too afraid to talk to people. They are afraid that if someone asks them a question they won’t know the answer or heaven forbid they might actually say the wrong thing! This fear holds them back so they don’t talk to anyone.
Jay is a successful real estate agent in Boston and he has one of the fastest growing groups in my SOC business. One of the reasons he is so successful is everyone knows who he is and what he does for a living. He LOVES telling people. He loves giving out business cards. He loves sending cute photos of his daughter (on greeting cards, we are in the card business after all.) He even loves to wear tshirts and things that have funny sayings on them that relate back to his business.
Everyone around Jay knows what he does and he isn’t afraid to talk to them. If he doesn’t know the answer he calls one of his upline leaders. He doesn’t let that fear hold him back.
So are you a secret agent in your business?
If I asked your neighbor what you did for a living would they know?

Thanks Ben…happy to share with you and the group…amazingly Real Estate and SOC business are so similar and easily mirrored…just mirror those that are successful and you cannot not become Successful!
That’s really an interesting way to promote business. To some extent I also do what your friend JAY do like distributing business cards. Apart from that I do talk about my business in all Social Networking Hubs. And thats really helpful.
