Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Uh, it was percolate. What's percolate? This is Choicasso Morning
- 0:08Joe with Jebruh and uh, you know, I uh had
- 0:14the opportunity to uh work with clients you know over
- 0:20two decades now and uh you see a lot of
- 0:27things if you're paying attention, you know, and uh, I
- 0:31pay attention. So it's kind of like Larry King. Uh
- 0:37it's watching uh documentary and you know, live recordings with
- 0:43Larry King, and he's talking about when he would go
- 0:47to the baseball games, everybody, all the kids would run
- 0:52up and ask for autographs and you know and cluster kids.
- 0:59He'd be over with the catcher asking the catcher or
- 1:06one of the players, hey, why were you doing this
- 1:13in the third inning after the play. He was very inquisitive,
- 1:21which created Larry Key. You know, he was always inquisitive,
- 1:28so you know he paid attention to detail. That's my point.
- 1:32So in terms of branding, you've tuned into this podcast
- 1:39because you you want to know or you don't know
- 1:46how your brand should look or how your brand looks,
- 1:49and you know, not influencer type of branding. You know,
- 1:55in terms of influencer, in terms of online comedy, sketches
- 2:01and routines meant to capture your attention, but you're every
- 2:07day branding. You know, if you have employees that install equipment,
- 2:15you know, what do they wear when they go out
- 2:20on their daily routines of installing your brand? You know,
- 2:26even if you're installing someone else's equipment, but your service
- 2:30techs are going out, what are they wearing? You know,
- 2:33in America and maybe around the world at this point,
- 2:39people wear blue jeans. You know, get your pair of jeans.
- 2:44You know, that's a workman's gens. You read a little
- 2:48bit into the story of Levi and how quilts and
- 2:57different things ended up being jeans that workers would wear,
- 3:01and he had the riveted corners, you know that way
- 3:06they were holed up as America was being built Industrial revolution.
- 3:11You know Levi's jeans. People wear jeans everywhere from the
- 3:18cotton fields to the corporate offices. A billion dollar owners
- 3:27Jerry Jones wears a pair of jeans. But as we
- 3:39have business, you see different businesses. You go into, let's
- 3:47say a target, what do the employees wear. They're a
- 3:51little bit lax now, but you don't want to be
- 3:55caught wearing a red shirt. You know someone's gonna ask
- 4:01you a question. I talked about this in one of
- 4:04my other podcasts. I've got a client who's in the
- 4:12field of one on one customer service technicians would go
- 4:18out and do specific inspections at residents at businesses, and
- 4:27it's common for that person to wear a pair of jeans,
- 4:31you know. But if you look at the more refined companies.
- 4:36Let's take a UPS their delivery drivers. They could wear jeans,
- 4:46but they wouldn't be working at UPS because they wear
- 4:50brown chinos, brown khakis. I'll check that out and see
- 4:56what that brown is called, because I don't know. It's
- 4:59very interesting now that I think about it. I have
- 5:02a picture on wants Twitter now x soon to be
- 5:07who knows a picture I took of UPS driver from
- 5:16my car and he was driving and I was captured
- 5:21by a sock. Even his brown socks were UPS. That's
- 5:28a brand. Everybody knows Brown Gold, I guess, or chrome
- 5:34or whatever their colors brand colors are at this point,
- 5:38everybody knows another great company, sun Belt, sun Belt, sun Belt,
- 5:50you know, like rental equipment, Green Serve Pro. I think
- 5:55they're green and orange seven to eleven Green and orange.
- 6:00Those brand colors, they mean something to the human eye.
- 6:04The marketing that I do, I connect with the subconscious,
- 6:10that's where the decisions are made. You want your brand
- 6:18and your leadership to reflect these same levels so people
- 6:26understand who's in charge. If you were to go to
- 6:31a McDonald's, let's say, you know that the management is
- 6:38not going to be wearing the same uniform as a
- 6:43crew member. So this makes communication easier for people who
- 6:51are working there and people who are buying there or
- 6:57dining there. How well, psychology tells us that kings, queens,
- 7:14and the nature of things that we've learned have a hierarchy,
- 7:19So we look for hierarchy. Baby knows, brother knows, the
- 7:26difference between brother and mother and deb father. There are
- 7:33hierarchies forms of leadership. A queen aunt that was what's
- 7:43just a normal ant, but it was nurture. The king
- 7:48and the queen are nurtured. The leadership is nurtured their value.
- 7:52They set themselves apart from the worker. So in visual psychology,
- 8:01if I see someone wearing jeans and I know it's
- 8:05not Jerry Jones, or it could be Jerry Jones, there's
- 8:10a certain attitude that's adopted with jeans. It's casual. This
- 8:17person is casual. Now, when you go on a job
- 8:24interview and you're not a labor worker worker er, I
- 8:31don't know if that's a word worker. If you're not
- 8:34a laborer, you're probably not going to wear jeans to
- 8:39that interview. But why, why, why why I want to
- 8:44wear jeans. It's America. It's a visual cue. You'll wear
- 8:51a nice prayer of khakis or chinos or slacks because
- 8:56you want to impress. Right, the robe at church is
- 9:04meant to impress. They're beautiful robes and gowns, consistency, the choir.
- 9:16You are the choir for your business, and your dress
- 9:22code is the same as Bernard the hat man up
- 9:31in Chicago says, the way you dress is the way
- 9:39you will be addressed. This has been morning joy. It
- 9:48has been a joy. This has been mourning. Joe with Jebrod.
- 9:53Take care,
