I recently wrote a post about Do you sometimes get "TIRED" of dressing up? and I got o lot of response. That made me think back to the days when I started in Real Estate (I was still a wild child) and it was even more of a drama to get dressed in "Realtor cloth" in the morning. I felt like I was slipping into a different role, different person. The Rebel in me did not like or allow that and I made the decision that Yes, I will dress as a Realtor (that excluded Jeans and T shirt) but I won't give it all up. I have always loved Jewelry and I wear a lot, custom or real, gold or silver doesn't really matter. It is so over board that people say, "OH, here comes Anne, they can hear me before they see me" My broker called me in the office and asked me if this was really necessary. . . . . I do not give up easily and I am a very logic person. So my answer was, Yes, of course it is very necessary, in order to stick out of the crowd I need a Trademark and that is my jewelry. He could not really argue this one, because at the time, the most successful realtor in our area was wearing a (ridiculous) "HAT" at all times (keep in mind I work on the beach in Florida) Now I was on a mission, long story short, it worked. Sellers, buyers, prospects, they would all refer to me as "The lady with the jewelry" After years, they might forget my name or the company I worked for, but I was still "The lady with the jewelry" they never forgot that.

Anne I still have a hard time getting dressed up. I hate to wear ties so I use polo type shirts. I haven't had anyone complain aboout it.
Yes. Jeans and a Gucci bag.
Lenn, I love the Gucci bag !!!
I don't care much for dressing up as well. I guess my trademark is "The Casual Guy"~
Hi Anne! I'm with you.......it's hard for me to dress up too. I hate suits! I don't know that I really have a trademark, but I like that idea.
Have a great day!
Point well taken! For each of us to get our personal information out to the world we oftentimes need a "hook" to keep a captive audience. You may offer the best services in the world or have the greatest information to share but if you can't get your message in front of people what good is it! Thank you for your thoughts.
Anne~ I have literally tons and tons of gorgeous costume jewelry that I love. I always get compliments and comments and find that its a great way to statrt a conversation. You've got a great idea, make yourself stand out.
Anne,
Way to stick to your guns! You will do well to use your "Trademark" jewelry work for you. Here in our area we have a VERY successful REALTOR lady who wears a black hat with a scarf tied around the top...the scarf matches anything she may be wearing at the time. In the summer months that black hat becomes a light airy material type hat...She's always wearing her name tag too...evne on vacation! And if it can work for her, let me tell you...your jewelry can certainly work for YOU! Keep on "jingling" baby!
