Remember the TV show “Get Smart!“about the bumbling spy who always got his man (and sometimes his woman) from the 1960s? There’s a remake slated for summer release as I type this. I read a great article in Wired magazine recently about what the CIA learned from the TV show. I was stunned to learn that the U.S. government drew inspiration from the show to create their own “cones of silence.”

After reading this article, I realized that I drew inspiration, at a very young age, from Smart’s reliance on Agent 13 (the spy who always seemed to be staked out in a U.S. Mail box) for stellar job performance. This may be what got me started in the business of targeted real estate marketing via direct U.S. mail with SalesTeamLive.

Soon, I started thinking about what real estate investors could learn from Maxwell Smart and what some of my friends might say if I asked them.

I imagine that:

• Sales Masters Richard Roop and Dan Doran might tout the spy’s expert negotiations skills and convince the evil enemy Kaos to lighten up, change sides and make a fortune doing it.
• Virtual Wholesaling Pro Cris Chico might say that he, like Maxwell Smart found his niche and is sticking to it.
• Total Market Master Ken Wade likely would likely give Smart kudos for always doing his research and never underestimating the cyclical nature of his enemies.
• I suspect that EasyHUD’s Chris Daigle could singlehandedly conquer the entire Kaos network using his Twitter-enabled shoe phone.
• Teamwork Lead System’s Andy Proper learned to take out a Craigslist ad for assasin bird dogs to handle his super spy assignments, then head for his pristine Hawaiian beach hide-out until the mission is complete.
