Hi Glenn,

Thanks for sharing that story... Certainly, something like this can work like gangbusters...!

Denny Hatch has a story which has some parallels in his book "Method Marketing." I don't happen to have that book handy at the moment (it's at a different location)...

I found the table of contents online... It's in chapter 15, "Western Monetary Consultants, William R. Kennedy: Warren Buffett Wannabe"...

From memory...

One guy organized a big "junket" - a paid trip, including travel and accommodation - and made the promotion to a mailing list he purchased. All the people had to do was to attend a presentation, I think it was a seminar on gold investing... The company he was running made money from selling precious metals to investors.

Denny Hatch got one of those invitations. So, he and his wife went.

It was great! All paid for... He went to the seminar on gold investing, and lots of others were there, too. And also could take time while he was there to have a holiday...

The problem was, he wasn't really "qualified" to be there as an investor!

The mistake this guy made was, he didn't properly qualify the people he made the offer to! So, in that case, it was probably a lot of money down the drain... It sure got the people there, you just have to make sure that only the RIGHT people see the offer!

In your friend Ben's case, he did have a well-qualified list - which was previous buyers of New Zealand boats, which was also what he wanted to sell.

With the right list - this approach could definitely work well... The right "freebie" would certainly get the attention of the right people. But, if you're paying for the attention of the wrong people (like the case in Denny Hatch's story), it could not work out... So there's a good profit-making lesson there! :)

Thanks Glenn!

Best wishes,

Dien

Thanks Clawhammer - 100.00 per person meals ADD UP [Reposted from archive]
 
Thanks Clawhammer,

I coach a CabDriver in New York City.

Increased His tips by 300% by having him
Give each passenger a LOTTO TICKET.

Then his tips went up another 5 TIMES!

What did he do different?

Parked in front of 100.00 per plate Restaurants.

SAME THING in San Francisco.

If 10 people come into a 100.00 per meal Restaurant. That is 1000 BUCKS.
Then you order Wine. Another 500 to 2000 smackers.

Perhaps you get a few side dishes AND Peach melba
of Strawberries Flame - which the chef comes out to set on FIRE himself.

You are up to 4000.00 or more.

20% of 4000.00 = $800 Tip.

Only 5 Groups like that and your tips are FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. But this Girl - Who now owns her OWN Restaurant...

Often got 500.00 tips from tables with only 2 or 3 patrons.

I often TIP my waitress
with her Magic Finger Touch Strategy.

Funny thing.

I have to ask to be seated at a table served by the #1 Waitress
who gets the most tips. Because the other girls are too CHICKEN to
try the Finger Touch Tactic.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Your SMILING Porker image brings back memories.

I worked for an Old Farmer who sold piglets to visitors. MY job was to put them headfirst into a burlap bag.

Kicking and squealing like the dickens.

THOSE Shiny teeth of yours are not quite right. When the MAMA Pig breaks thru
the fence to rescue her babies - her teeth are Bigger and Yellow - not white.

Skin Care Referral System at Trade Shows Makes Karen 3 Million a Yr [Rep fr archive]
 
Hi,

I met a 70 yr old woman Cosmetics Company owner who looks 40.

Her Brochure has a photo of her husband
who does not use her product - standing next to her.

Women all over the Trade Show DRAG their girlfriends over to her booth
to SEE for themselves.

Karen found an old recipe in a book.

Gathers the ingredients from fields and hedgerows herself.

Mixes it up in a bathtub.

REALLY WORKS.

Pretty funny that the MACHO hubby who refuses to use her product
is making her Rich.

Thanks,
Glenn

20 Million MLM Mentor Looks 20 Years Younger Than Her Age [Reposted from archive]
 
Thanks Dien,

I found a newspaper article listing the top 10 Direct Sales Companies
in the world.

All Network Marketing.

ALL TEN feature Skin Care and Cosmetics and looking younger.

So.

When I sent two of my coaching clients to meet
Barb Swanson - who makes 20 mil a year from Helping people
with Health and Energy problems - using the "New Earth Super Blue Green Algae
Products...

I
was
not
Surprised
to get
this email.

I put the LAST SENTENCE - first. Because - for women - it's all about
LOOKING YOUNGER.

---------------
"They don't want to look old and these 70 yr old people all look 55 so my aunt and mom definitely became interested!"
---------------

Email from Richard - College Student...

Spoke with Barb today. I brought Ricardo and my Aunt we had an awesome
time. We all laughed our faces off. I took down some notes on Barb.

Basically she hosts a potluck people share their stories, she answers questions
and then people buy. Her key is that she REALLY knows her product. Just her
level of knowledge on Blue Green Algae makes you trust her and her word. It
also feels very natural as well.

She's just sharing a product that works and a money making opportunity.

She just said things like "Sure you have arthritis, use such and such because it'll
do such and such and you'll feel much better within a month or so."

Or put yourself on $100 monthly auto-ship and sign 3 other people up for $100 auto ship and you'll get a $300 check. No other company does that".

Everyone's saying wow really? What I liked most about her was her warm
atmosphere. She has this kinda glow that just makes you feel nice inside.

I told her about doing presentations. She said just ask them what they want and
after listening you mention a New a Earth product that will assist them in achieving that.

So my mom and aunt will sign up in a couple days with my associate ID and be
on Blue Green Algae!

Barb and some other people at the meeting really helped my aunt and mom
understand the importance of health.

They don't want to look old and these 70 yr old people all look 55 so my aunt and
mom definitely became interested!

-Richard

#1 Brisbane Australia Real Estate Brokerage MANICURE Referral System [Rep fr archive]
 
Hi,

I interviewed one of the young turks of the office.

He was dismissive.

Didn't understand what his boss was doing.

The Owner of the Brokerage hires young people right out of college
with not much understanding of Professional Grooming.

So as not to insult them.

HE TOLD THEM, "Bring your prospects back to the office where we offer
free coffee and snacks and manicure, pedicure, hair-care and a Masseusse. Which will give you time to make sales in a relaxed environment."

GENIUS.

His young sales people GET EDUCATED and look great
while thinking about clients and home sales.

No surprise this brokerage is growing so fast.

Thanks,
Glenn

Chipotle Fast Food SCARY Movie/App - Self Referral System
 
Hi,

When I came across an Article about How Chipotle Fast Food
Restaurants Raised Revenue in 2 years by 1 BILLION DOLLARS
to 3.5 billion.

Grew the # of Stores from 1350 to 1700.

By Educating their customers about using "Natural Meat". Dropping "Trans Fats" from their cooking. Offering "organically certified beans and avocados."

Cooking from Scratch...

"Fresh onions - peppers - raw meat."

I hate Avocados. SLIMY.

Can't eat Peppers.

Stopped eating at any fast-food stores and cut out Beef and Pork completely.

So I have No Personal Experience at Chipotle.

However.

I Was Happy That Educating Customers about The SOURCE of their HEALTHIER food was allowing Chipotle To RAISE THEIR PRICES and Sell More.

But.

WHOA!

I didn't realize they were using FEAR to do it.

Google "Chipotle Scarecrow Game"
to EXPERIENCE More of what I mean.

I
Couldn't
WATCH
the SCARECROW Short Movie.

And will NOT be Playing their App Game.

But 1 Billion Dollars In Extra Sales is PROOF that they are
SCARING millions of customers thru their doors with this Movie/App Game strategy.

Here is a link to the ScareCrow Trailer -

4 Napa Rose-Disney Grand-Hotel& Spa Referral System(s)
 
Thanks Dien,

4 Napa Rose-Disney Grand-Hotel
& Spa Referral Systems

While doing some Research to follow up on what a client told me
he saw while doing construction at Disney California I found some
very Sneaky Referral Systems.

Referral #1 - Since the "Napa Rose Restaurant" is INSIDE the "Disney Grand Hotel and Spa" the Hotel and Spa Customers EAT THERE.

Referral #2 - When You Pay EXTRA to get a Room Hidden from the main
Restaurant - some kind of FLAMING Bonus item is brought to your table.

Walked past all the other customers.

WHO WANT THAT TOO.

So there is a Referral System to book the back rooms.

Referral #3 - A Shiny Flat Surface SNAKES around the Kitchen at the "Napa Rose
Restaurant."

Turns out IF you Make Special Reservations.

PAY EXTRA.

You can Eat At the "CHEF'S COUNTER" and watch all the food get cooked
and Prepared from CLOSE UP.

So close you can chat with the Cooks in the tall white hats and majestic
white outfits.

Referral #4 - Then if You Want to Eat Outside on The Patio - which LOOKS really
cool - because there is a Burning FIRE PIT in the middle Every Table.

Each table looks like a Donut with a hole in the middle. (The fire is in the middle.)

Again - some of the meal can be cooked there in front of you.

AND - Interactive Customer Cooking.

The Chef has Shish-kebobs and other food items - ALREADY
prepared for kids to hold over the fire.

It's Invisible.

But Pre-planned and Rather Diabolical.

Because once Disney gets you into the MAIN RESTAURANT - there
are at least THREE Referral Systems in place to MOVE YOU to
a different - more Expensive part of the Restaurant.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

Thanks Glenn,

Thanks for sharing these multiple referral systems that some very successful businesses are using...!

If you're not using similar types of referral systems yourself, then you are clearly "leaving money on the table," which could be in your pocket or bank account...

These are a treasure-trove of profitable ideas...!

How 2 Restaurant Owners Get Their Prospects AND Clients to PAY Them
 
Thanks Dien,

Am Writing a E-book niched for Restaurant Referrals.

==========
==========
CHAPTER #2 - How 2 Restaurant Owners Get Their Clients AND Prospects to PAY Them - Food Referral System

A - Fantastic Idea Borrowed from Lions Clubs and Chamber of Commerce
Groups.

I’ve visited dozens of Networking and Referral Groups.

Nobody there is making significant moolah from each group Except the Host AND the Guy who owns the Restaurant where they meet.

B - So When 2 people team up to Open a Vegan Restaurant - the Benefits are DOUBLE YOUR Pleasure munny making good.

The woman conducts YOGA Classes.

So Prospects AND Yoga Class members eat at their Restaurant.

AND Since the roof of the Restaurant is set up for AIRIAL YOGA. (Some kind of Stretching in a Hammock.)

Outsiders and Visitors to the Restaurant who ASK, “Why are their Hammocks hanging from the ceiling? May Sign up for Yoga.

So we got a Double Referral — 2 Ways Customer Referral Thing going on here.

C - The Man does some kind of Consulting.

I - So he meets Prospects at the Restaurant.
II - He uses the Restaurant as an office.
III - He does presentations and Group meetings there.

Also - Bottom line - both partners benefit from NOT having to Lease or rent office space.

And since any Restaurant is basically a Real Estate Play. The partners are building up equity in the above-ground building - while their real estate grows in Value.

Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,

If I'm reading you correctly, it seems the term ""restaurant" might be "loosely hung" here.
Perhaps, just enough to recognize it as such, for tax purposes.

Of course the type of meals, when they are served/how often and to whom...well, that is
left to the discretion of the owners, isn't it?

Ron
