I’m not going to lie. I’m pretty sure I have a ministry business card somewhere in my office. When I was a kid, when I was around my mom, I always had an assortment of business cards in my desk drawer that I would use to keep track of where I went.
When you’re a kid, you’re always working. If you’re a manager, you’re the boss and most people don’t go to school. If you’re a manager, you come home and you have to work at your desk every day and you’re constantly reading and writing on whatever book or book club you were working for.
Well, I got my cards when I was in my early 20s, but I was a full-time salesclerk at a major retail company and we were always looking for new things to do with my boss to make some money. He was a hard-working guy who had to be the top salesman in the company, so we were always looking for new things to do.
In the early 2000s, Salesclerk was the title of one of the first popular podcasts on iTunes. It’s all about people selling their services to people for various money making opportunities. Well, salesclerk is the name of the podcast’s first episode in my old iTunes library (I’m old enough to remember it). The title “Salesclerk” had been picked up by NPR and subsequently on the Today show.
The show was actually the third episode on my iTunes library, and I’ve been listening to it about every three months or so since I started this job. It’s a very easy-going, laid-back podcast that makes you feel like you’re the only one at your desk.
This is why ministries need to have an actual salesclerk. If you know this person, you can get them to buy your stuff because they think youre the one who sold them on the idea of your ministry. But if they dont know this person, then they’ll probably think its an honest mistake.
It is hard to make a ministry that sells you stuff, so you need to make sure you have a “ministry business card”. A ministry business card is a card that lets you show your ministry name and the address of your business, so that someone who is asking you for money will actually think your ministry is the place to go. I think the best ministry business cards are those that have a logo that is designed by the ministry itself.
The reason for this is that I am a good person and I like to make things that seem to mean much to the people who are trying to make things seem a little bit less than good. On the other hand, I also like to make things that are meant to really do the things I think are good.
The ministry business card is a marketing tool that the ministry uses to be able to tell people that “we are here and we are making a difference” in a way that will make them more likely to see the ministry as a good place to get help.
