How a Butcher Shop Owner in Scotland Uses Barter

Thanks Gordon,

How a Butcher Shop
Owner In Scotland
Uses Barter

Krista Interviewed her friend who owns the local
Butcher Shop.

OK, they Barter Meat, Meat pies, meaty stuff for:

- fridge/freezer, hot cabinet repairs
- buying stock reduced from the delivery drivers (eggs, pie shells, pastries, sausage rolls, bridies) - gets sold for 3 times what they paid for it
- an arrangement with the cash and carry man who lends them the keys to the warehouse.
- getting the cars and vans repaired
- deal to butcher lambs for the guy that sells lamb - for resale at higher prices
- same with the chicken orders
- word of mouth sales from people who send other people to order from the shop and pay extra for the orders to be picked up. The meat market is 6 doors away and they're going anyway. They make 50% on top of salary with this one.
- people to tell them about supermarket special deals on meat (Easter, Christmas etc), they resell it in the shop at markup (double at Christmas)
- overalls, cloths, cleaning supplies

Re: How A Black Opps Para-Trooper Bartered With a General

While swapping Barter Stories with - Wadley - a Retired Black Opps Soldier
he told me THIS ONE.

His Team Jumps out of airplanes - all over the world -
to set up airstrips so the Marines can land.

(A Little Insight into why we are so LUVVED all over the world.)

Wadley and his team get sent to South Korea
cuz a General has a Brilliant idea.

Fly Wadley and his team a couple Miles into North Korea. Throw them out
above the Atmosphere in Oxygen Masks. (Which they do all the time.) Then
have them Para-sail Back to the South Korea Border.

WHY?

So they can POKE AT And Stop-watch TIME How Long it takes the North Koreans
to Scramble their Fighter Jets to try and Machine Gun Wadley and his pals out of
the air.

BEFORE they can para-sail back behind South Korean lines.

Wadley always jumps First. Bright light on his helmet the his team follow
down. And he has the Portable GPS equipment so he knows which way to parachute to safety.

WADLEY and his Team WERE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
about the GENERALS Idea.

So Wadley sent a Request up the Chain of Command...

I - Fly our wives and girlfriends from the USA to Live.

II - Free House Big Enough for the entire team.

III - Open Ended Credit Card to use at the Base PX.

THE
GENERAL
Said, "HELL NO - You will do what I say or I'll Throw you in the stockade on Bread
and water."

Here's how Wadley Negotiated his BARTER DEAL with the General...

I - Wadley pulled a GUN on the pilot. Who "Mistakenly" opened the airplane
doors early - and the team JUMPED before they got to the N. Korean line.

II - The Generals Response? He Posted Armed Guards on the plane - for Security.
But their guns just happened to be Aimed at Wadley.

III - Wadley and his men Did Some SECRET JUMP Practice. Where they Practiced
FREE FALLING Very very fast. So the team could get Back to S. Korean ground
FAST before the Jets could be Scrambled.

You've Seen it done in Movies. But it gets Tricky Up where their is no Oxygen.

IV - The General WAS NOT HAPPY. But he couldn't find anybody to Hold
Guns on Wadley while falling from 20,000 Feet up.

So Wadley Successfully BARTERED for all his "Perks."

Wadley REPORTS that - The Wives and Girl friends were Ecstatic too. Cuz they used the F-r-e-e Stuff from the PX to Barter for Maid Service. And almost anything they wanted
at local S. Korean stores.

Thanks Glenn,

Fascinating story! It shows that there's "barter" everywhere...

One thing which is good to keep in mind is with "deal-making" - everything can be "on the table"...

It's not always just about dollars and cents! In fact, the best deal makers know that sometimes, it's something "extra" that can clinch the deal... Which may not even cost a lot of money to provide, if anything at all...

By the way, I spent some time in South Korea a few years ago. The area within Seoul where the US military base is located is called Itaewon, and it's the main area where there are a lot of "foreign" establishments, so it's probably the best place to get foreign food in Korea. In Itaewon, you see a lot of US soldiers walking around when they are walking around off base. I couldn't get on the base (as I'm not US military), but people who had been there told me that being on the base is pretty much like being in the USA... With the most popular fast food outlets, etc., that you can find in the USA.

Best wishes!

Hi Glenn,

I gotta say, I think you're one of the smartest info-product providers out there...

Back when you could still sell ebooks on eBay (which they don't allow any more now), people were selling ebooks for $1, $2, maybe at most $5. And I saw with my own eyes... Glenn was selling his ebooks by auction for literally hundreds of dollars each...

I have no doubt they were (and are) worth every penny. Yet, why was Glenn able to do this with ebooks on eBay - and nobody else could? Not even the "big guru" marketers?

The answer to that is why I pay attention to all of Glenn's teachings...!

Thanks Glenn for sharing!

Texas Good Ole Boy Figures Out How to Do BARTER w/1000's at Parades

Thanks Dien,

Ok.

Surprise - Surprise.

This is a bit WEIRD.

MASS Barter - instead of 1 on 1.

==========
FireTruck Parade
Barter System for
Chain of Jewelry Stores
Bumps Sales 20 to 31%

Hi,

We got referred to Homer Hillis
who buys Texas Radio Stations
out of Bankruptcy. He also runs a chain
of do-it-yourself Jewelry stores.

His Best Buyers String Jewelry parts
together and RE-SELL what they make.

Homer bought an old FireTruck-Fixed it up.

Then ordered thousands of Angel Pins.

Calls up Parade Organizers all over
and Asks Permission to Drive his
Antique FireEngine in their Town
Parade.

Co-incidentally - the SAME towns he
has Jewelry stores in.

The Girls on the Fire Engine Barter
Free Angel Pins - they toss into the
Crowd - in return for visits to Homers
Jewelry Store.

The Cardboad Backing on the
Angel Pin says, "Put Your Birth
Stone Colors into the Angels Eyes
Free Of Charge At ABC Jewelry
store.

Homer and His Wife Carefully Line
The Shelves and the Path to
the Back of the Store - with their
#1 Best Selling SPARKLERS.

Thus the 30% Jump in Jewelry Sales
after the Parade.

Exactly Like Putting Candy Bars at the
Checkout Counter in a food store.

Clever Way to Barter A Free
Angel Pin To BOOST Walk-thru
Traffic at his Jewelry Stores!

Thanks,

How To Barter FREE STUFF to Get New Clients

Thanks Gordon,

You Know How You Catch Colds and Get The Flu Bug Every year?

Have to Take Time off?

Headaches and sneezing and Runny nose And
feel So Rotten you Have to STAY in Bed?

I am Spoiled.

I am Bullet-proof.

I NEVER Get Sick.
Haven't gotten sick - Period - for the past 26 years.

Why?

Because I eat 1 Special All Natural Energy Product that is fished out of
a Lake in Klamath Falls - Freeze Dried. BE CAREFUL Because only 1 Item on the long list is MAGIC - at NewEarth.com.

This stuff is Said to be the Most Nutritious Natural source of vitamins and minerals left on the Planet.

I Dunno about all that.

I know it works, tho.

Because For 20 Years I've been sending
EXTRA Energy to Prospects.

These Prospects often become Info buyers and clients.

And sometimes they REFER me Business.

My SUPER SPINACH mentor - Barb - Who Makes about 20 mil a year
fixing peoples Health Issues - Tells me a new INSTANT ENERGY -
Liquid Lightning Product Almost Took Her Head OFF.

So I am Calling People to get
their Physical Addresses so I
can send them a F-r-e-e Sample
When it launches this October.

Here's an Example of What Happens to me
MUNNY-REFERRAL-WISE as a Result. And an Idea for YOU to use
to Make More Munny from Referrals yourself.

==========
==========
How We Used The
BannedBarter Site
to Get Referred to
a New Marketing
Client

So I Emailed Ed in
Pennsylvania to
get his Snail mail address
so I could Send him
a Free Organic
Energy product sample.

Ed Reciprocated by telling
me about a website that
can Turn Partial Info
about people on social
media into a Complete
Mailing list.

www.BroadLook.com

In Turn I told him about
the new Barter Website
I am working on.

www.BannedBarter.com

Told Him How we Used
Barter To Find out
How a Self Made
Billionaire Got his
start. Posted the story
details there.

Ed then told me he wanted
to Refer me to a Friend
Who is the owner
of a Bakery Who Needs
my Marketing help.

www.AliceBakery.com

I Googled it and the owner
is my IDEAL Client. Making
lots of munny. Just Opened
a 2nd location.

Stretched to the limit
because - Like Many
Entrepreneurs - he is doing
everything himself.

What I call - *Running a Biz
out of your back pocket.*

Ideal Client for me because
I can Replace PAIN & Lack
Of Sleep - with SYSTEMS.

So the owner Works Less
and Makes MORE due
to Systems that do the
part of his job he DISLIKES.

Thanks,
Glenn

How Barter Made The Brutal
Hard Work at The Junk Yard
HIGHLY Profitable & Even Fun

We'll let Dave tell you about it.

"Some of my friends were traveling salesmen visiting
industrial or automotive businesses.

"These guys would "bird dog" for me, which is to say, recommend me to any business owner
who wanted something that they considered junk removed.

"These salesmen were deep into cars in one way or another, usually racing,
so naturally they got the same "come and get it" deal - from me - whenever they wanted anything.

"I would give them ANYTHING they wanted - from the junk yard - with a big smile and no questions asked.

"These guys, while doing their sales routes, got to go where no one off the street could ever go.

"Time after time they found spectacular deals for me.

"Often free to me to get the stuff.

"Thanks,
"Dave

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for sharing this!

Some people try to get in business... Yet they don't want to give anything away! They see it as all about getting as much cash as possible, and holding on to it as tightly as possible... Often these people don't last too long...

A better approach is to know that... you have to give in order to receive!

Don't be too "tight-fisted"... as it will probably hurt you in the end if you take that approach. You'll fail. Many people don't realize that...

Instead, give something... Like Dave in the quote above... Like Glenn teaches with the instant scratch-off lottery tickets, and other small gifts. Even giving away free reports (which I do from time to time)... I have a friend - who I will probably be doing business with soon - who wanted to see a movie at a film festival a few days ago, but was unable to get a ticket. I heard about this, and managed to purchase a ticket at the "last minute" (I found out they were going to release some "extra" tickets a few hours before the screening, even though it was already "sold out") and I gave the ticket to her for free, as a gift. She was over the moon! I felt very good doing it... and I knew that doing that would be good for me in the long run, too!

Help people, and they'll help you back... :)

Plus, it's good "karma"...!

Best wishes,

Dien

How a 4-Color Printer Bartered for Referrals w/His Paper Supplier

Thanks Dien,

We called a Client who does 4-Color Printing Big Printing Jobs
for 100's of Jiffy Print stores, Banks, Malls, Ad Agencies.

"Let's Barter With your Suppliers for Referrals, George."

I - Who do you pay the most munny to every month?

ANSWER - The local Manager of a Paper Plant.

II - Who are your Biggest and most Profitable Clients?

ANSWER - Airports, Malls, Big Regional Banks

So we called the manager up at the Paper Plant and said, "George would like
to visit you at the paper plant and bring his 91,000.00 Check for the month."

ANSWER - "Great. Can he come today? I'll buy him lunch.

So.
We
Just
Bartered
A 91,000.00 Check
for an Appointment
and a Free Lunch.

NEXT QUESTION - Mr Paper Manager - are you on salary or do you get Bonuses
for more paper sales?

Answer - BONUSES.

GREAT.

So When You Refer George To People you do business with
at Any Business that fits Georges - Top 3 Best Clients - Each worth a million dollars Plus in business a year...

The 91,000 Monthly Check will go Way Up
and you get paid a BIG BONUS.

QUESTION - Who do you know who works at a Big Regional Bank,
Mall Management, Airport Administration?

Mr Paper Plant Manager Gave George 4 or 5
Contacts AND Called Them up to Introduce and Endorse George!

So We Bartered
A 91,000.00 Check for a Free Lunch
and 4 Million dollars in New Referral Business
Equal to or Better Than Georges 3 Top Clients.

You can do this too.

Thanks,
Glenn

How My Mom Used COOKIE BARTER to Fill Her Cooking Classes w/Kids

Thanks Gordon,

How My Mom Used
Cookie-Barter to
Pack Her Home
Economics Classes
to Over-flowing.

Hi,

I learned this Barter-
to-Keep-Your-Job-
Technique from
the inside - so
to speak.

My job - as the oldest
of 3 Brothers -
was to make
Dessert for each
meal at Home.

If something I
cooked or baked
looked GREAT.

Mom would
Ask my Permission
to Photograph it and
add it to her
Slide Show.

She Made Trips
to all the Jr High Schools
that Fed Kids into
the Sr High School
where she worked.

Took Several 1000
Sugar, Raisin, Walnut,
Oatmeal, Choco Chip
cookies (Her kids made Extra)
to Feed 500 High
School kids at a time.

While she Showed
them Slides and talked
about what they would
Learn to Cook If they
signed up for Home Ec
Cooking Class in Sr High.

Result?

Job Security.
While all other
Home Economics
Programs in
Maryland were Failing.
My Mom - as Home
Ec Dept Chairman -
Filled every Class
of hers and The
Other Home Economics
Teachers Classrooms
to Over-Flowing.

More PROOF You
Can't Learn to Be
An Entrepreneur in
Public School...

NOT ONE Teacher
asked, "Why are all
Your Classrooms
Bulging with kids
and ours are Empty?

Great Fun to meet Kids and
their parents in the Grocery
Store and hear parents
Raving about how good
their son or daughter is
in the kitchen.

Thanks,
Glenn
