[S380]Shirts With White Collar
by Luke Mayes, Luk
If you're unsure about what color your collar should be - the short answer is to have options. Your choice of color is one of the most important considerations when choosing the style of your business shirt collar.

White Collars

For a white shirt, the collar should always be white and made from the same fabric as the rest of the shirt. The only exception to this rule is the tuxedo shirt which may incorporate another white (textured) fabric for the shirt front (bib) and the cuffs.

The white shirt was previously a uniform requirement at IMB and a plain white shirt still communicates efficiency, aptitude, and professionalism.

For stripes, checks and solid colors, Gordon Gecko's contrast white collar is still a great look on Wall Street. A contrast white collar (with white cuffs) is all about the big city, big deals, and big money. If you're visiting a big city from a smaller city, a contrast white collar can communicate that you're a genuine player and not intimidated by the big smoke.

If, on the other hand, you're visiting a smaller city from New York, the contrast white collar can be a big turn off to blue collar management. Gecko's, "Greed is good," mantra appeals to some, but not to all. You don't want to come across as a slick, big city executive when you're selling farming machinery in Arkansas.

Blue Collars

When dealing with manufacturing operations as well as businesses in smaller communities, a blue shirt (with a matching collar) is a staple ingredient in a businessman's wardrobe.

Unlike the white shirt which often represents administrative efficiency, the blue collared shirt represents a connection with physical work, engineering, and problem solving. When visiting agricultural sites, a button down blue collar shirt (always worn with a single breasted jacket) conveys both respect and discretion - with or without a tie.

For those business situations that require your multi-faceted understanding of finance, administration, manufacturing, and sales, a light blue shirt will fit the bill.

Others...

There are a myriad plaids, stripes, checks, dots, weaves, and color combinations to choose from when you're looking for a business shirt. If you don't usually wear a tie, compliment a solid jacket (or suit) with a bright, colorful shirt. If you wear ties, ensure that your tie and shirt do not compete for attention. An easy rule of thumb is to wear plainer shirts with busy ties and plainer ties with busy shirts.

Unless you're latest recording has just gone platinum, be cautious of combining a busy suit, with a busy shirt, and a busy tie. That being said, if you're confident in your own good taste, mix it up and show the world who you are. The choice of your collar color is sure to speak volumes about your personal style.

I have learned from my mentor, how to mainly sponsor wealthy people into my business. It's true, only true marketing-savvy survives. Combined with "personal branding", of course. Yes, lower middle-class folks could "find" the money, but often times, mindset-issues like "unhealthy skepticism" prevents them from joining. They assume because they are flat-broke, so is everyone else. For that reason, they're not joining.

So why do I try to market to white collar folks? Well, my opportunity needs 3K to get involved in and if you want to have a really good shot at actually making it into the top 10-20 percent that don't fail, another 1-2 thousand dollars would be ideal.

It can be done without marketing-funds, but it is more difficult and will take more time.

But how is it done? The amazing thing is that doing it right isn't even a tad more difficult than doing it wrong. I learned this from a guy who makes 60K a month, and even he never claimed to have come up with this himself. We can learn from Disney. Harley Davidson. All the big corporations, really.

Here are two techniques:

#1 - Everything you write and especially your ad copy is "magnetic". If your headline states, "Who else wants to rake in 10K a week without calling people, 100 percent automated system available - Guaranteed!", who will soon be crawling all over you? That's right: a bunch of lottery-mentality Lamborghini-loving daydreamers-, who will give it their all....

Until they run into a tiny obstacle. Then they fold and you will never hear from them again.

#2 - How does that compare to the piece you are reading right now? It started with the headline, using terminology like "White Collar Workers" and "High Tier", which does exactly what a magnet does. It intimidates some (repels) and attracts others. It will make the target market curious, who can afford the opportunity. The folks that are proud of who they are in life and their success. There is no beating around the bush: Note how in the third paragraph I am disclosing the nitty-gritty, that many marketers are afraid to talk about (the fact that we need money for marketing and how much: 1 - 2 thousand dollars). At that point, this article had already lost 70 percent of its readership.

So we can make a choice. We can pick up the gold - and by that I don't mean "white collar people". I mean marketing techniques that are so simple, we might as well use them. We are really just focusing on the target market, rather than trying to market to Mr. Everybody and then telling him to get a loan.

To wrap this up, most ideas that are being taught out there are being taught by the 98% of people who fail. It takes "guts" to do what really works and maybe wisdom. Use these methods to make it into the to 2 percent in America.
