Weird Barter Idea Creates 200,000.00 WINDFALL in 2 Hours
 
Thanks Dien,

We proposed this to Our Independent Pharmacy owner client:

G - "You Would like to Visit
the Headquarters of your
Drug Supplier and
Meet the people you are sending
1 million a month to.

"Give me Permission to Call them and I'll Guarantee
You get an Appointment with the CEO.

Allen - "It'll never work.

G - What's the down-size? They say, "No. Whoopee."

Allen - "Ok.

So I called the # Allen Gave me and talked to the Drug Supplier
sales manager Jack.

We said, "My consulting client has a check for 1.1 million dollars he'd
like to bring Himself to Company headquarters. Maybe He Can Meet
The CEO and you. Go to lunch. And look around at your operation.

"Is that OK with you?

Dick - "Let me check and I'll call you back."

TWO HOURS LATER I get a call from Allen.

Allen is Laughing - "What did you SAY to Jack. He just lent me 200,000.00
for a year with zero interest."

And Allen sent me 5000.00 for my consulting miracle.

WHY the 200Grand Loan?

Allen got a HINT from Jack that other Ind Pharmacy Owners had called up
wanting to DROP them as their Drug Distributor/Supplier.

So Jack Panicked.

And gave Allen 200Grand - as a no interest loan to pay for ads and stuff.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Heh heh heh - I got the idea of ALWAYS getting an appointment
with a Supplier with ONE PHONE CALL -Plus a Check- from
my 426 Million Mentor Walter Hailey.

They WANT THAT MUNNY. And you usually get a F-r-e-e Lunch too.

How We Bartered ROCKS for 25.00 of FREE IceCream
 
Thanks Gordon,

You know how when you buy a product
and it SUCKS for some reason....

You throw it away and forget it?

Well.

NOT ME.

I Barter for F-r-e-e Stuff!

For example -

I found lots of little rocks in a quart of chocolate chip ice-cream.

Called up
to Help them out - by reporting the problem.

The Customer Satisfaction Dept Agent sent a SASE and I mailed them
some of the rocks I'd saved.

Result?

I got 5 Coupons - worth 5.00 each in the mail.

Great Fun.

And You are doing the Company a BIG FAVOR
cuz they can Catch problems - before somebody ELSE Sues them.

Or a another consumer - gets hurt or poisoned.

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks Glenn!

Thank you for sharing these incredibly valuable case studies and ideas... :)

In fact, I'd say if you took them all together, Glenn's collected stories are probably the most valuable you'll find...!

I think anyone could probably take your ideas, and if they applied them, almost immediately double their business income...

I really do appreciate these diamonds you are showering us with! :)

Los Angeles Jiffy Print Store Grows 800% w/PIZZA Barter
 
Thanks Dien,

I got to talking to a skinny young guy
working behind the scenes at a 25,000.00 Marketing Seminar.

He was working as a TEMP.

I kept in touch.

Last time we spoke he had taken over his Dad's
Jiffy Print store in down-town L.A.

Steve Noticed that many hi-rise office lights were on
Late at night.

So.

He swapped F-r-e-e Printing work with the owner of a nearby and
BUSY - 24 Hr Pizza Delivery Store.

What did Steve Barter for?

For the Pizza store to put his Flyer in on top of each pizza
during the entire time he was doing F-r-e-e Print work.

RESULT?

He got so much AFTER HOURS Work
from Corporate Teams working late
to make deadlines -- Steve had to put on a night shift.

And told me - that SO FAR -
His Gross Sales had grown 800%
over what it was when he took over.

WIN-WIN

A - The Pizza store Did NOTHING but toss a page in on top
of each pizza.

B - Steve Already had employees and equipment
and lots of spare time - So his real costs were negligible.

Thanks,
Glenn

She Said, "You're Boring - I Want a Divorce" Barter Story
 
Thanks Dien,

Once Upon a time I met a brilliant business owner in California.

How Brilliant?

He ran 3 Businesses - same time.

Same office.

Same Receptionist.

SAME Company Initials - so he can save munny on letterhead. Funny Reception
area. One Entrance door. THREE doors leaving. For each of the 3 companies.

One Day His Wife comes to Breakfast and says,
"You're Boring - I Want a Divorce."

Later that Week Her Psychologist Checks her into
A Hospital for the Mentally Ill.

RUBBER-ROOM-WIFEY Plus The Divorce meant that Dave Couldn't get access to
his 21 million dollar savings. AND he had all his stuff in boxes in rented storage unit.

PROBLEM #1 - Where to Live?

Dave Solved that in a Quirky way.

He called thru his rolodex and offered to house sit for everyone while they
were on vacation. Charted all his house sitting jobs on a calendar - back
to back.

PROBLEM #2 - Dave Used a WEIRD Barter Tactic to Make Munny.

Dave decided he would become a Marketing Consultant. No Experience
except he attended a 15,000.00 Jay Abraham Seminar. Which is where we met.

Here's How Dave Bartered
to Get 100K from Small Business Clients
in 3 to 5 days.

FIRST - He Went to his Country Club. Asked "Joe The Plumber" in his four-some,
"What would you pay me if I could DOUBLE Your Income in a week?

"You gross about 3 mil now - If I could Jump you to 6 mil - Would you pay me
100Grand?"

Answer: "Sure."

NEXT - Dave borrowed one of Joe's Golf Shirts. Went to the lady who customizes
all his suits. Had her Stencil -

"Joe-The-Plumber"

Above Joe's Golf Shirt Pocket.

LASTLY - Then Dave Called Joe and invited him to the Country Club for Lunch
and a golf game.

Dave Told Joe, "I'm going to write down the # of Business Cards you hand
out AND people who ASK you for Quotes and New Jobs You get from wearing
This Shirt I fixed up for you."

Dave told me, "I stuck to Joe like Glue. In 3 days he wrote me a check for
100K because he'd landed MORE than that ALREADY in just 3 days."

In 3 days Joe had closed over a dozen new jobs from guys
WHO READ HIS GOLF SHIRT and Said, "Joe The Plumber. HEY, You must be
GOOD if you can afford to Golf at this time of the day. When can you
come over and fix my ___________.?"

I asked Dave, "How did you know the Shirt Headline would work?"

Answer - "Easy. I invented it. Used the idea for myself. And a few friends.
All of whom reported 2x more sales."

As far as I know, this is ALL Dave did To Make Munny while waiting for a judge
to UN-Freeze his assets.

He Bartered Customized Golf Shirts That DOUBLED SALES
in Return for 100Grand.

Also - Remember where Dave Lives. Los Altos. The most expensive area
of Los Angeles.

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks, Glenn!

I've been doing my own "win-win" type of deals...

One thing I've found is, when people realize you WANT them to win, and that you're not only looking after yourself, but you're looking out for THEM too... Their attitude often changes. And they start to want YOU to win, too!

It's interesting and fascinating... It means business doesn't have to be "adversarial"... but it means you have other people who are trying to help you, too - just like you are trying to help them...

It's a completely different dynamics from what you see in the movies, from films like "Wall Street" (with Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas) or, say, "Glengarry Glen Ross".

Hollywood loves this adversarial approach in its business movies, because it increases drama and conflict!

But... much great business is really WIN-WIN...

Thanks Glenn for sharing these principles...!

How to BARTER For a FREE LUNCH Whenever You Get Hungry
 
Thanks Gordon,

Instead of Paying to attend Local Trade Shows
and Networking Biz Events - We use BARTER instead.

For Example:

If you pay 20.00 at the door AND wait in line.

AND pay more munny at each Trade Show Booth Sponsored by a local
Networking Business Referral Company.

You might get to talk to a staffer at a Trade Booth.
But only for 30 seconds - because there is a LINE behind you!

WE SKIP ALL THAT.
TALK DIRECTLY With the Biz Owner.

And
Get
a
FREE LUNCH to boot.

==========
DIRECTIONS -

Most weeks there are Trade Shows Going on in Most Cities and Towns. With
over 400,000 Industries - meeting locally and nationally.

These events are Everywhere!

I - You Show up a couple HOURS EARLY.

II - Wear Expensive Work Shirt, jeans and Tennis Shoes.

III - Tuck a pair of Work Gloves under your arm.

IV - Drive up in an Expensive Truck or SUV.

And Offer to help the owners - who paid 5K++ each for a booth
at the Up-Coming Trade Show.

#1 - While Carrying Stuff across the parking lot.

#2 - While helping Sweaty folks Unload their Trade Booth Materials.

#3 - 100% of the time they will ASK, "Who are you? And Why Are you Helping
Me?"

BE PREPARED:

We answer: "My name is Glenn. And I've been Interviewing self made
millionaires all over the world for a decade. 100's of them.

"I'm here helping out. Cuz I figured this was a Great way
to FIND OUT what You Folks do.

"I can Usually Share a few Proven/Tested million dollar ideas from Other
Successful business owners IN YOUR INDUSTRY - but from other Countries.

"If something CLICKS. Great. We can Talk.

"If not.

"You Get Some Great New Ideas. Free Labor And ME? Think of all the Health Club Dues I Save.

And
We
Chat
and trudge back and forth
across the parking lot.

CAN I Tell You a SECRET? Every single time we do this a Business Owner
INSISTS on buying us Lunch.

Thanks,
Glenn

How We Bartered a BIG Blue Rubber ELEPHANT for 198.00 of SKIN CARE & 2 Clients
 
Thanks Dien,

Most people are walking around ASLEEP.
Plus they lack EMPATHY.

So - IF You are Awake - you can take advantage of
their ZONKED Condition.

For Example:

While in the Mail Box Etc - I Always Share ideas with
- Betsy the owner - about what other Retailers are doing.

THIS TIME Betsy said, "I've got 4 Rubber Kids Toys Left. They're YOURS for
20 bucks."

I looked.

And bought them.

THEN I looked for an opportunity to USE them somewhere.

The Same Week I was at a ToastMasters Meeting.

One of the Women Announced, "I just Won a Mercedes Because of my
Scandinavian Skin Care Sales."

Everyone said, "That's nice. Congrats."

THEN THEY Ignored her!

I've worked with Mary K and it's a BIG DEAL to get a PINK CADILLAC.

This must be similar.

So I excused myself.

RAN Out to the car.

Pumped up my BLUE Rubber ELEPHANT. (IT's one of those kids toys that comes
with a hand pump And rubber handles that you grip while you sit on it and ride. When you sit on it and jump up and down it Bounces.)

HOLD OUT Your Arms and Make a Hoop
or Circle. THAT IS HOW BIG Around this Elephant was.

Step I - I took a Magic Marker and Wrote...

"HURRAY!

"WHOOPPEE!

"Yippee!

"Kowabunga!

On 20 pieces of paper. Paper Clipped a LOTTO ticket to the top.

And Took my pack of Paper Roses out of the Glove compartment. And
Quickly made 20 Red Roses. (I Am A good boy scout - PREPARED.)

WALZED BACK in.

And as soon as one of the ZOMBIES finished their little
Speech.

I Said, "We Are CELEBRATING Sophies BIG WIN - Double Diamond and a
NEW CAR."

I PLONKED the Blue Elephant in Sophies (Surprised) LAP.

And then put WHOOPPEE pieces of paper
with lotto tickets attached in front of everyone
at the Big Conference Table. (We met in an Insurance office)

And then Handed Everyone a RED Rose.

Except Sophie who got a YELLOW ROSE.

I then took up the REST of our TIME by Educating the REST of the group
about what a BIG DEAL it was to WIN A CAR.

That a F_R_E_E Car Represents Hundreds of thousands of Skin Care Product
sales.

Hundreds of Distributors.

Meetings and Conference Calls and managing disasters at 1 am in the morning.

Sophie Just sat there SMILING
and NODDING.

But Afterwards she Marched me out to her new BLACK MERCEDES SUV
and Gave me a 198.00 Men's Travel Kit of Skin Care Products.

In a Leather zip up Case.

AND
THANKED
ME.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - So a 5.00 Rubber Elephant, 10.00 of Roses, 20.00 of 1.00 LOTTO Tickets
Got me 198.00 of SKIN CARE PRODUCTS.

P.S. - I went to a couple of Sophies meetings later. AND she asked me to do
some marketing for her. AND a girlfriend who owned a Landscaping company.

So my BLUE ELEPHANT
also Bartered me in the door
to Two New Clients.

AND The DARN STUFF works - there were women at the meetings
who had PERFECT Skin. Shockingly beautiful.

(They had pics of BEFORE which
showed acne and other blemishes. ALL gone.)

P.P.S. - Me?

I thought the stuff was HORRIBLE. Burned my eyes when I tried it
anywhere on my face.

Dien Rice August 31, 2015 11:59 PM

Wow... Glenn...

Another ingenious idea!

Of course, you get a free lunch...

But, you also get a "million dollar" education too!

(Which is worth more than the free lunch!)

It's actually hard to find out true business "secrets"... Yes, they are around. And yes, there are some great nuggets in various books, newsletters, and on this forum, too...

But there are many, many more out there - that people hold close to their chest!

What Glenn is teaching here is... well... words escape me... :)

It's great stuff! :)

Thank you, Glenn...

If I'm in your neck of the woods (or if you come to where I am), lunch is on me! :)

Best wishes!

First, I have to say...

If you read all of Glenn's stories and case studies... and really absorb them... you're definitely getting a "million dollar" education!

I have learned so much from everything Glenn has posted...!

Another great lesson from this particular story is the power of a pleasant surprise!

We all love pleasant surprises! If you can give someone a pleasant surprise... They'll remember it, and in their eyes, you'll be surrounded with an aura associated with pleasure... (It's a bit like a kind of "super power"... :) )

Of course, they'll want to deal with you and help you in future!

Some great lessons here...

Thank you once again, Glenn!

Count me in as one of your fans... :)

Best wishes,

Shoe Shop Owner BARTERS 1 Neon Shoe Lace to Up-Sell $200 Shoes
 
Thanks Dien,

How A Shoe Repair
Shop Barters Neon
Shoe Strings to
Sell Tennis Shoes

Howdy,

While in a new part of
Baltimore Sampling
The Buffet at a
Vegetarian Restaurant
I spotted a Shoe Repair
Shop.

Went in And left my
Dress Shoes to be
Re-soled While I
ate.

Sneakered my way across
the Street to the food.

Opened the Paper Bag
The guy gave me.

I found ONE Neon Shoe
String with a Note...

"Flip the Switch to
See in the Dark while
You Walk."

Of Course I Went Back
to say, "Hey, You Only
Gave me ONE Neon
Shoe Lace!"

The Shop owner Acted
Surprised.

"Oooops. Ok, come over
here and tell me which
Color You LIKE BEST."

Bob started Switching
ON a Wall of New Tennis
Shoes All laced with
Flashing Shoe-Strings.

Red
Green
Blue
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Black
Violet

STROBE
Flicker
PULSE
Steady Light

AND THEN It "Hit me"
While Watching Bob's
Eyes Twinkle.

Right in the Middle of asking
Bob, "And how much is this
Shoe? And What about
This Red One?"

I Confronted Bob right there...

"You RASCAL. How many
Poor Suckers have you Lured
back to your store and sold
New FLASHING Shoes to?"

After Bob stopped Laughing.

He admitted, "More than 50%
who come in for something cheap
Order a Pair of 100.00+ Shoes."

Bob wouldn't tell me how much
His NEON Shoe Lace BARTER-
Referral System makes him
EXTRA.

But an entire wall of 100-500.00
Brand name Tennis Shoes
all Flashing Brightly?

AND the Store Light
DIMMER SWITCH
on the wall?

We're Talking Big Bucks.

Thanks,
Glenn

How I Swapped Video Talking Head Status for a Ride in a Mercedes
 
Thanks Dien,

I met this Cambodian Multi-Millionaire named Sok.

Sok Barters for Everything.

He said, "If You Appear as my Talking Head Spokes Person in a video on How to
Make Jewelry from home - that I am Shooting - I'll Drive You to the Up-Coming Bill Meyers Seminar in Hot Springs, Arkansas."

I said, "You Mr Tightwad are going to drive from PA to MD and pay for
the gas to get us to Arkansas and back. I've gotta SEE this - so my answer is Yes."

The video was fun.

I learned how to make Jewelry.

The trip - was CRAZY.

Sok owns 23 houses but he dresses like a bum. Torn T-shirt, cut off shorts
and flip flops. He Enjoys knowing he can buy any Restaurant we stop at
that won't let him eat there - cuz he looks so bad.

And he snores.

I put a pillow over my head.

And since he spent Some time in New York City - Sok drives like a NYC cabbie.
Like
a
Madman.

Things weren't too bad at first.

But when he started driving up behind pickup truck drivers with GunRacks
and Honking his horn.

I insisted on driving the rest of the way.

That was his plan - all along - I suspect.

FUNNY STORY.

Sok bought his Mercedes because his next door neighbor got one
and BRAGGED about it.

THEN when it came time to CHANGE the oil and the Dealership
charged 200.00 an hour for labor - Sok couldn't stand it.

So he took the Mercedes Mechanics Course.

Nice to know whatever happens Sok can fix it.

Thanks,
Glenn

Great (true) story!

What I like about it is...

He gave people something for free... which was ONE neon shoe lace.

People know shoe laces come in TWOS... What's the point of one?

The thought probably nags them so they almost HAVE to go back to the store... Where, of course, he has a chance to sell them some pricey shoes...

It's pretty clever! And it sounds like he gets a kick out of it... and some nifty profits, too...

But there's a FLAW in his plan...

A ONE-LEGGED man would never come back! ;)

(Just kidding... It's brilliant! :) )

A $5.00 Free Gas Barter Story
 
Thanks Dien,

A bunch of us decided to car-pool
and drive to a Networking event in Pennsylvania.

Bill - the driver - drove up from Virginia
and by the time he got to me - he had 3 guys in the car.

I'm skinny so I volunteered to sit in back.

Soon.

Bill stopped for Gas.

I Noticed the windshield was covered in dirt and dead bugs. So I clawed
my way out of the back seat.

Washed and Squeegeed the front, back, side windows.

And washed the drivers and passenger side rear view mirror.

Even checked the tires.

Bill came back from paying for the gas and said, "Ok, Everybody but
Glenn - Fork over 5 bucks each to pay for Gas. Glenn rides free because
he's out here working."

Nobody said a word.

And seemed to Agree that was fair.

SEEMED Like Common Sense SELF PRESERVATION to me!

If Bill can't see to drive - I am Dead meat.

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

What I love about this story is it shows something I'm finding over and over...

When you help people - unasked, and even expecting nothing - you find that, 9 times out of 10, you get something back! It may not be immediate... it may even be a year or two or even three down the track, in some cases. But, often what you get back is also more valuable than what you gave...

I think the whole key is to give without expecting anything, with no pressure for anyone to give you something in return... For some reason, it seems to work... :)

When you keep doing this, over and over, over time you get to the stage where many people are trying to help you... And you stop worrying about things, knowing that you have many friends who really want to help you out... :)

Oh, by the way, I guess I don't offer to help absolutely everyone... I try to seek out people who are kind-hearted and good-natured, as these are the people I like to spend time with anyway. I also feel good about myself when I help good-hearted people like these. Maybe that's part of why it works, too... :)

Best wishes!

Blake's TANGO DANCER Business Barter Referral System
 
Thanks Dien,

Blake tells me he travels a lot from state to state
and wherever he goes there is a Tango Club or Association.

And since people tend to spend a Lot of time,
pay for Pricey TANGO DANCE lessons And Have Entire Wardrobes of
Tango Specific Clothing.

Tango Dancers are like Golfers in One
Important way.

They tend to be Affluent!

So.

Blake walks over to a woman who has given a head nod
or an eye signal she wants to dance.

(I'm getting educated. There is an Entire
Science to this Tango Dancing Culture.)

They begin to dance. After he Gets Her Sweaty and Heated up.

THEN.

Blake Shows her his BARTER PAGE. A Printed Version of his website
just below...

====================
http://www.myclientresults.com
====================

We've been DOUBLING INCOMES for Clients
this way. And call it a PRE-HEAT or GREED PAGE.

Then he asks, "Who do you know who owns a Tech Company or a business with
Website or software Nightmares that I might help?

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - I have Blakes Written Permission to Share his Biz BARTER PAGE.
And he said I could use his REAL name. But I am playing it safe.
I change Every name.

Girl Uses Barter to Get Her New BOSS FIRED
 
Thanks Gordon,

Bartering While Thinking outside the box can have amazing consequences.

Got a call from a College Coed
working part time for a Baby Bell Phone company.

Her job was to call and arrange right-of-ways
so the company can dig up and bury phone lines
to new homes and businesses in Ohio.

Her new boss was Driving Her Crazy. Acting Strangely
and didn't know what she was doing.

Totally Incompetent.

Mary suspected she had Faked her Job application
but needed a way to PROVE IT.

Had heard from a friend that I did "Instant Handwriting
Personality Profile Mind Mapping" for clients - New Hires
and even prospective customers.

A - So we Taught Mary some basic Handwriting Analysis over the phone
Including the 30 HELL TRAITS to look for in Handwriting.

B - Mary "borrowed" some papers off of her Goofy Acting
New Bosses Desk and Analyzed the handwriting.

C - Then went to the Division heads office.

#1 - Told him, "My new Boss is acting Crazy. So I went on-line.

"Found some information about "Handwriting Analysis" and
found these 15 HELL Traits in her writing.

"Here is My Bosses "Handwriting Personality Profile."

#2 - Pathological liar -
Low Self Image -
Terrible Temper -
afraid of success -
Hyper Sensitive to criticism -
Stubborn as a mule -
Huge Mood Swings - Personality shifts -
Weird Sexual habits.

#3 - And showed a "Personality Profile Page" done from His Secretaries
handwriting. Where the Big Boss Recognized some of her Positive Qualities.

D - Mary said, "I don't want to get anyone into trouble. And This "Personality Profile IS NOT PROOF. But it Seems to Indicate there is a Problem.

"And I have been doing MY Job And the New Bosses job - because she is making
Big Mistakes we can get Sued over. Can you check to see if Personnel Called
to Check out her Resume?"

=======
RESULT -

A - Nobody HAD Checked the Resume.

B - When they DID Call to Double Check - Personnel discovered the Crazy
New Boss had Embezzled Hundreds of thousands of dollars. And her employer
gave her a glowing Recommendation to get RID of her. Rather than spend
zillions in court.

C - So She was Fired And - Mary the College Student - Got HER JOB!

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Oh yeah. While we are talking about Barter. Mary then bought
both of my "How to TEST People Before you Meet Them" -Instant Handwriting
Sales and Business Programs.

And started referring me clients to boot.

Client Barters for 94K a Month w/Sign Around Neck
 
Thanks Dien,

We got Referred to a Guy in Florida who was forced
out of his own Credit Repair business by his Uncle.

When we met -- Dick-- was putting "credit repair flyers"
in gas stations. (Not working.)

Step I - We Interviewed him and Wrote a 3 page Report:

***3 Common Bad Credit NIGHTMARES
and How I've Solved Them***

Step II - Dick went to Staples and Got a Yellow Sign
laminated that he put a string thru - and wore around his neck.

"CREDIT REPAIR"

Step III - Dick Got 5000.00 Handed to him --500.00 at a time-- the next day
walking around a local Mall.

=========
=========
Here's How The BARTER Sign Works -

One Way to Convince Total Strangers to STOP,
Give You Some of Their Valuable Time,
LISTEN to you,
and then READ a 3 Page Report
is to
PAY
THEM.

(EDITORS NOTE - I have a friend who sells to Doctors who PAYS for an
appointment. But says, "Hi Doc, nothing wrong with me. I just wanted
to get 5 minutes of your time to offer you ______." He is Very Successful.)

INSTEAD
we
Used
A Sign to
BARTER for Some Time.

I called Dick on his cell phone while he was talking to a Cashier
as she wrote him a check for 500 bucks.

I - People see the BRIGHT YELLOW SIGN around his neck and Ask, "What
does that mean?"

II - Dick says, "I can fix any kind of bad credit problem you have.

III - The Prospect says, "Well I have Bad credit (Which is WHY They Reacted
to the Sign) cuz of a gas credit card payment I got Double billed for."

IV - Dick says, "Read this. It explains how I can fix that Plus Identity Theft
Or even Credit problems for your entire Business."

Dick says 90% write him a check.

How did Dick get To 94K a month?

Turns out a Huge SWATH of Americans have messed up credit. Dick went to
a Play and went backstage - wearing his sign.

3/4 of the actors And BackStage Folks Paid him 500 bucks each. Over 10 Grand in one shot.

They all had bad credit.

Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,

BannedBarter.com is shaping up nicely.

Thanks for posting my Barter Story there...

"BLOGGER LOSES 90 POUNDS BARTERING LICENSED CONTENT"

How Randy Bartered for ROASTED RAT in a Mexican Jail
 
Thanks Chuck,

Here is a "Food Related" Barter story.

I'd been calling My friend Randy in Texas for a couple weeks
before he answered and told me where he'd been.

Randy did two tours in Iraq.

Got sprayed with Agent Orange - Got Cancer.

He was gone two weeks because he'd travelled to Mexico for a Drug Trial.
While smoking Marijuana outside the clinic
to ease the nausea - the local Cops Arrested him.

And locked him up in their dirt floor jail until he
Could bribe his way f-r-e-e. Because "All Americanos are Rich."

Randy had spent all his munny
on the Drug Trial.

AND he and his fellow prisoners were not fed often. And not enough. So
they caught RATS and dug a pit in the dirt. Cut out the Entrails and Roasted
the rest of the rat and ATE them.

Randy was Starving when he hit upon a CRAZY Method
to Win the Respect of the others in Prison. And be FIRST in Line for Roasted Rat.

I - Randy was Trained as a Black Opps Soldier.

II - And he was only 5 foot 8 inches tall.

III - So he hid behind the other Prisoners and Whenever a Prison Guard
came to the door to Add a Prisoner or Take one Away...

Randy jumped out from hiding - and beat the Guards up. Being careful - He
told me - not to kill anybody.

IV - Randy became An INSTANT HERO to the other Prisoners. And was given
a name.

"Americano Loco." (The Crazy American.)

V - The GOOD NEWS - All of the Prisoners pushed Randy to the front of the line
to get the First and biggest piece of Roasted Rat.

THE DOWN-SIDE.

After beating up 1 or 2 or 3 Prison Guards. They came back IN FORCE with Guns
and tied Randy to a bench. And Bastinadoed his feet with police batons.

This went on day after day for two weeks
Until Randy was able to Yell his name to 2 College Kids
whose parents BRIBED their way out - as they passed his cell.

And told them to Tell them "Randy _______ US Soldier - Tell the American Embassy I'm here."

That same day 20 Heavily Armed Marines Visited the Prison
and Got Randy out.

Thanks,
Glenn

How a Janitorial Co Owner Got Barter Bribed by a Consultant
 
Thanks Gordon,

By Asking a few questions you can often FIND OUT enough
to Barter Bribe a prospect into paying you.

Here's an example...

I - The Consultant discovered a large Janitorial co -in Seattle- that ordered
paper towels and toilet paper by the Railroad car for several large clients.

II - Alan called the managers of three local hi-rise buildings
then sent them a one page email explaining how he was squandering
1000's by hiring a cheap cleaning service who works out of his car
and buys paper towels and toilet paper at Wal-mart - full Retail.

III - Alan then turned over 72,000 a year in extra paper product orders to
his janitorial client prospect.

IV - And showed him how to find hundreds MORE by using SIC Codes.

BOOM.

"Your Hired. Do that again."

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks Gordon,

Denny told me what happened when he went shopping yesterday.

He goes in to stock up on food
at 10 pm.

Only one Cash Register open.
Manned by A heavy set young black guy named Jimmy.

Denny says, "Wow you have a famous Name.

"Jimmy Buffet, Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Falon. Here's a Thank you Reward
TIP for helping me Check out."

And he hands Jimmy a LOTTO ticket.

They chit chat back and forth.

Denny takes his shopping cart full of bags of food out to the car. Starts loading up the front seat.

Glances up and here comes Jimmy
waddling across the parking lot.

He'd forgotten his Strawberry ice-cream.

Denny THANKS Jimmy.

Gets home.

In the bag with the IceCream he finds a Swordfish steak - with a 13.00 label on it.

AND

A Sirloin Steak with a 13.00 p-rice tag on it.

So.

Denny Bartered a 1.00 LOTTO ticket And a Friendly Chat Where he Made
Jimmy FEEL GOOD by comparing him to Famous Folks with the SAME
first name to get an Extra 26.00 in food supplies he doesn't have to buy.

Thanks,

How Ben Used BARTER to Get a BILLIONAIRE To Come To His Event
 
Thanks Dien,

I'm getting this BARTER story second hand.

And don't want to ruffle any feathers.

So I'll change all names and locations.

What is IMPORTANT is the Barter concept
behind this success story.

We've done similar things with clients to Attract SUPER STARS and Super
Affluent Folks to Seminars...

And Watched Mentors do it.
Feature a Billionaire in order to fill seats.

HOWEVER
we
know
You CANNOT P-A-Y a Self made Billionaire to show up at your Program.

Who could Afford to do that
anyway? And what would you say, "Mr Billionaire I'll pay you 10 million to attend
my up-coming seminar and speak."

No seminar is going to PAY you enough to be able to AFFORD that.

INSTEAD
You BARTER for their Presence.

I - The Super Affluent all have a Favorite Charity they raise funds for.

So IF your Event Donates a %age of Back of room sales
or Total Funds Raised to Mr Billionaires Charity - He Will Often Show Up.

I've watched this done at Events
we've attended.

II - Just Suppose you can fill a room with young Affluent Entrepreneurs
who would benefit from The Advice from Mr Billionaire - That Sometimes Works
to get the VIP to Attend - in my Experience.

We got an Hour on the phone with Two Different self made
billionaires using this form of Barter.

III - It's Very Flattering (Because few do it) to any Self Made Super Rich person
if you study their many businesses and investments. Then Show Links to
fast rising small businesses and their owners - who will be at your event.

A - Mr Billionaire will WANT to meet New Kids who may Challenge or Change
the Industry he is investing in.

B - Mr Billionaire May want to Joint Venture or invest in rapidly rising
New Biz.

C - Mr Billionaire WILL ENJOY talking to lots of young folks who SPEAK the
same "ANYTHING-is-Possible-Lingo" he does. (After fighting with attorneys and
red tape and bureaucrats all day.)

But here's what We Think Ben Did and said...To Get A Self Made Billionaire Guest
to show up at his Mastermind Event.

We think Ben said, "I've got 81 Self made millionaires showing up at my big
Mastermind Referral Event. I'd Luv to Pay Your Airfare, Hotel suite costs and Show You dr to dr VIP LIMO Service and personally introduce you to the Young Turks who are Driving Growth in Your areas of investment interest."

Why do we know a BIG PART of what Ben BARTERED
to Get Mr Billionaire to attend?

Because the #1 WORRY that keeps The Affluent Awake at night
TOSSING
and
TURNING in Bed
is the FEAR that they will be hit Unaware by a NEW PARADIGM Shift in
their industry.

Totally DESTROYED.

Bankrupted.

SMASHED FLAT as a Pancake.

You say Self Made Billionaires are SAFE from this?

HA!

Richard Branson had a world-wide chain of Virgin Music Stores Valued at over a
B-illion d-ollars that were BANKRUPTED literally in a few months -- when Steve Jobs opened his On-Line Music App Store.

Thanks,
Glenn

Dien Rice September 21, 2015 12:55 PM

Good advice, Glenn, on getting the attention of millionaires and billionaires!

Hi Glenn,

Thanks - another ingenious post!

In my own dealings with some quite rich people... For many of them (who have got it made), it's refreshing for them to deal with young up-and-comers with a real entrepreneurial mindset, and to share some of their wisdom... But one thing is, you HAVE to respect their time, because their time is precious. Don't waste their time.

And you're right! These people often have investment interests, outside of their main company... As well as charity interests too...

You can't "buy" your way into their attention and interest by offering them dollars directly, but there are often other ways...

Thanks Glenn... I love your insights! :)

Best wishes,

Dien

How We BARTERED for a New 2100.00/27 inch IMac Computer
 
Thanks Dien,

Randy told me the story of how he became the owner of a Iraq War Dog
named "Sister."

On his 2nd tour as a soldier in Iraq Randy was about to go home
when his unit commander came over to him.

Said, "If you don't take "Sister" home with you we'll have to shoot her.
She doesn't take orders from anybody but you."

Randy argued, "What am I going to do with a 250 pound monster dog
at my house in Houston, TX?"

Commander - "You'll Figure it out." And walked away.

PROBLEM #1 - Sister is Trained to Drag injured soldiers out of danger. Ignores
bullets and only takes orders from ONE MAN. So she can't fly in the passenger
area of an airplane. She could bite someones arm off - Guarding Randy.

So Randy spends 20 hours strapped to the wall of a Giant Cargo Plane
with Sister's head in his lap for Warmth.

Randy told me his butt froze solid on the metal of the plane floor.

I asked, "Just How big is Sister?"

Randy - "Let's just say I can put my entire head in her mouth with room
left over."

PROBLEM #2 - Sister Is solid muscle but is too heavy for the 112 degree heat
of Houston, TX - so she stays inside the Air conditioned house most of the time.
Randy is trying to figure out how to get Sister to lose wgt.

PROBLEM #3 - Sister is more like a Horse than a dog. And when she runs
at night -when it's cooler- the bullets and shrapnel inside her body -
work their way to the surface of her skin.

Randy gives the command NOT TO MOVE. And slices her skin to remove
the metal paining her.

But there are lots more pieces of metal inside her. So Sister
is often in pain.

PROBLEM #4 - Sister has been Trained not to eat anything except at a certain
time of the day and from her own special Bowl. Several Pounds of Raw Steak.

So Randy can't figure out how to get Vitamins into her.

STRATEGY I - We Surveyed our Mastermind Group. Found a guy who knew
that when you stick a Big Glob of Peanut Butter with Vitamin Capsules
stuck inside BEHIND a Dogs Front TEETH- the dog will lick and lick at it until
the peanut butter is gone AND swallow the vitamins - all at the same time.

SUCCESS STORY II - We sent 240.00 of SUPER Blue Green Algae capsules
to Randy - Explaining how to Feed Them inside Peanut Butter to SISTER.

And not only did she begin to heal faster - from all the bullet wounds. But
the stray chunks of bullets were quickly forced out of her body - so she was
not in constant pain.

SIDE EFFECT III - Randy discovered that by Feeding Sister Lots of Algae
In Peanut Butter - She Felt so good she began to run around more. And
began to lose weight. So she didn't suffer so much in the heat.

They only went out at night - so as not to SCARE the neighbors.

RESULT?

A few weeks after we helped Randy Heal His Friend Sister
we got a big box in the mail.

When I opened it up there was a NEW 27 inch Screen - 2100.00 IMac
Apple Computer inside.

And Randy had loaded it with software AND called to walk me thru
the set up process.

Thanks,
Glenn

How to BARTER for More Munny w/A Seth Godin Idea
 
Thanks Gordon,

Seth Godin is a genius.

Like you - I've read most of his books.

Here's ONE of his ideas we've
ADAPTED to BARTER with Customers for...

A - More Purchases

B - Success Stories and Testimonials

C - Referrals to friends and associates

===========
===========
Seth's Idea -

He Doubled or Tripled a Musicians CD sales by telling her -

"When a customer orders - send them 3 or 4 copies of the
same CD. Why? Because they know OTHERS who like the
same music and they will GIVE other people your CD
and they will buy your stuff too."

You might recognize this as his "SUPER SNEEZER" idea.

Ok.

When someone orders one of our many e-books
it would be SILLY to send them 3 or 4 Copies of the same
mp3 file - right?

So.

WHAT Do We DO Instead?

Here's a fresh Example:

Simon ordered - "How A Client Made 88K in a Day Telemarketing"

http://archive.enchantednlp.com/products.php?id=19

FIRST - We know Simon wants to make munny over the phone

2nd - We know he probably wants to make munny from home

3rd - We Know Simon WANTS MORE MOOLAH. Period.

So.

We Sent Simon - Five Different Thank You Rewards.

THANK YOU REWARD #1 - A Link to www.BannedBarter.com
where Simon will find nearly 100 Munny making Barter Testimonials and Case Studies.

THANK YOU REWARD #2 - A link to the site where we store the Best
VIP Results from Pay it forward LOTTO Ticket And 1.00 bill tipping.
www.NLPBrainBuzz.com

THANK YOU REWARD #3 - A Chapter from a book with 50 million dollars of referral systems inside...PROVING that LOTTO tickets have Munny Making Clout.
CHAPTER #31 - How A Substitute Teacher Referral Program Got Milly 5X More Jobs -
http://chapters.enchantednlp.com/grm...ed0f087ba1.php

THANK YOU REWARD #4 - An Entire Biz That We do from home
with help from a 20 mil a year mentor. A book full of Testimonials...

"How to get People to P-a-y You" - Download Page: http://ebook.enchantednlp.com/logincrtpy.php

THANK YOU REWARD #5 - A page full of Dog Stories our 20 mil a yr
Mentor Sent us...

http://archive.enchantednlp.com/ezine.php?issueno=2965

===========
===========
You Understand why This is BARTER?

Seth's Idea - to give away extra CD's - is a powerful REFERRAL SYSTEM.

Our Version? - We're ADDING VALUE by sending ideas to buyers
based on what we KNOW they are interested in -

to BARTER for...

Good will.

How Andy Warhol Bartered a Painting for a TV & a Vacuum Cleaner
 
Thanks Gordon,

I've got this goofy friend in Philadelphia.

He's a Head hunter for giant corporations.

He sent me a page full of silly links.

Link #1 - A CrowdFunding link by some Dutch artist who wants me
to send him munny for a solar Cell phone charger he and a partner have
invented.

His previous Kickstarter invention was a Solar Lite
that looks like a Sunflower.

YUCK.

Pass.

Link #2 - Is this Artist Barter site. Real Barter stories.

30 or 40 of them.

MY FAVORITE.

Apparently Andy Warhol - ran an ad in 1963 saying, "I will trade Art for Anything."

One man called up.

Traded a Big Screen TV and a Vacuum Cleaner
for a Andy Warhol Painting.

Cool Barter story.

IF that man held onto his Andy Warhol Original Painting
HE GOT The Best of the Barter Deal.

By far.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Here is the site with 30 more odd - Artist based Barter stories.

How We Bartered for a 241.00 Emergency Generator
 
Thanks Dien,

After moving back to the farm a couple Winters ago
I was REMINDED by constant power outages that...

Being surrounded by Neighbors who grew up in
the city is BAD.

3 of my neighbors have planted all sorts of trees Under
the power lines.

Brittle Branches
PLUS Snow
- ice -
High winds...

ZERO ELECTRICITY for 1 to 5 days.

Plan A - is to Order a Big Generator. Pour a concrete pad. Pay to install
a New Electrical Panel - to Transfer power. 25 Grand or more.

While Checking into PLAN A - I discovered there was a Much Cheaper
Plan B.

(EDITORS NOTE - Did You know the Refueling Aircraft the AirForce Use
-RIGHT NOW in 2015 - to keep planes in the air for 24 hours or more
are FIFTY YEARS OLD?

AND A crewman has to crawl into the tail and Watch
thru a tiny window --In constant contact with the pilot-- to line up the Fuel hose with the gas tank of each plane they refuel in mid-air.)

This is similar to MY PLAN B -

We have a Massive FirePlace Insert - so heating the house and cooking is
taken care of. Very cool cooking pizza on the thing. I burnt a few tho.

Battery Powered Flashlights and Lanterns - So We're Ok for light.

The Back-Up Battery on my Wi-fi Internet - will last a few hours
then I'm off the grid.

ENTERTAINMENT - I decided it would be NICE to be able to Recharge my
Kindle book reader - with 3 feet of snow outside and no power.

Found a bunch of Emergency Equipment on-line.

Started emailing and asking questions.

Hunted down the Former IBM Tech Guy
Owner of one Company - And asked about buying his foot powered
generator.

I - How long does it take to power up a kindle?

II - How long to re-charge a cell phone?

III - Which Rechargeable lanterns and flash-lights does he recommend?

IV - What battery is Best to buy and keep charged in case
of emergencies?

HE
DIDN't Know
ANY of the Answers to my questions.

His S-ales offers say, "Crank the Emergency camping hand Generator Until
You get enough power to make an Emergency call."

PHOOEY!

NUTS!

=============
=============
By Phone - We Made a Deal -

I'd help him measure and track
The effectiveness of his Gizmo's. So He could improve his marketing.

And when I knew what Back-Up
Battery and Rechargeable lights
to order with his Emergency Pedal Generator...

I'd BUY ONE!

So he shipped me one and I put it together.

And we began to Swap info back
and forth.

He only lasted 5 weeks.

Then he stopped Answering my questions.
And quit suggesting specific lights
and lanterns to test.

HE QUIT ON ME - Leaving me the proud
owner of a 241.00 Emergency Hand or
foot power Generator.

Isn't that a Hoot?

I'm still Experimenting on my own
And HAVE figured out how to Re-charge
my Kindle - with foot power.

Thanks,
Glenn

How We Bartered a Book to Get a New MLM Client
 
Thanks Dien,

Charles and I were talking back and forth
via email and he mentioned he wanted
to lose more weight.

So.

We sent him a F-r-e-e Copy of a book
I wrote with my 20 million a yr Natural Energy
Mentor Barb.

http://ebook.enchantednlp.com/logincrtpy.php

Charles asked some Questions. And I told him,
“ This Super Spinach stuff is my secret to never
getting sick in 26 years and Staying-skinny is
a side benefit.”

Charles went ahead and Ordered two bottles
for himself and his wife as an Associate.

And I taught Him My ShortCut For Quick
Extra Energy using the Algae.

After 2 weeks I got this Note from Charles in
my E-mail…

=============
=============
Hi Glenn

These are my before/after pictures as far as the weight loss...

Do you have any tested headlines for weight loss - now that we're on the algae losing this weight would have been so much easier!

We are not as hungry and even went out exercising last night when we're normally couch potatoes because we're tired.

My wife even ASKS to take this stuff...

A first because she is feeling the difference!

Thanks,
Charles

How Doug Davidson Used BARTER to Sell 1 Million Dollars of Perfume
 
Thanks Gordon,

While Doug and I were swapping For-Profit
ideas back and forth he told me
how he Grossed a Million dollars in his 1st MLM.

Doug purchased the rights to sell perfume in Canada.

Did lots of testing.

Created a Marketing book full of ideas
that worked for him.

Went from city to city and signed up A dozen Distributors
in each location.

But things were moving SLOW AS MOLASSES.

UNTIL Doug Hit on the Following BARTER SYSTEM - city after city after city.

STEP I - Doug calls up the President of the TOP (Major City)
CHARITY And Arranges to GIVE AWAY Perfume to all the guests
at their next Charity Banquet.

STEP II - Doug sets his distributors up with a Knapsack Perfume Kit.

STEP III - Doug Gives a 2 minute SPEECH at the Banquet
explaining that the F-r-e-e Perfume and Cologne is 1-of-a-kind.

And SO UNUSUAL that Upon contact with each person's skin
it suddenly Becomes UNIQUE to them. NOBODY ELSE CAN HAVE THAT FRAGRANCE.

STEP IV - Table by table thru the evening - the Perfume Distributors
move from Table to Table Giving away and Customizing Perfume.

RESULT?

When their F_R_E_E Perfume Bottle Runs out.

All the Affluent women in the room ORDER MORE.

Over and over
again and again.

Doug told me his PERFUME BARTER was So successful that HE and his
team sold more perfume FASTER than the rest of the MLM Perfume company
combined.

So they moved their Headquarters to Canada.

Thanks,
Glenn

A question for you Glenn, and this may be splitting hairs but,
 
First, I thank you for your time and energy to post these very educational stories.

What I've seen mostly isn't BARTER. Barter is an exchange of value.

It appears most of these examples use a different technique, more of a
SELECTIVE RECIPROCITY.

You being a master persuader appear to be tapping into Cialdini's principle which explains we are hard wired to reciprocate when someone gives us something.

It seems your clients are giving stuff away, which is, again I may be splitting hairs here...

but more of a sales technique than a barter technique.

King Gillette perfected the giving away (a razor) and then selling the blades, sort of like this perfume guy.

Maybe I'm not seeing something, but I'm not seeing an EXCHANGE of value but a lot of gifting...

sort of PRE Meditated Reciprocity, getting the Click-Whirr response often enough to have those great numbers in many of your examples.

So, am I way off base here, or do I see more of a gifting method (sales technique) as opposed to a barter (exchange) method?
Gordon

Re: How Barter Got Dave 30%-50% of the Junk He Sells at his JunkYard
 
Gordon,

I thought the same thing for many of the entries, so you're not the only one.

But, I liked the stories so I didn't care too much! :)

Thanks Gordon-Barter is Offering Value for Value
 
Thanks Gordon,

OOOOPS.

I had to ask Dien to take down my LONGER Answer
because even with Written PERMISSION.

One of my Coaching clients GOT SCARED
that we publicly SHARED how he BARTERED to double his income.

Then BARTERED a Website to Close a 25,000.00 Deal.

Despite Our ASKING his Permission
to Share the INFO with others.

THIS IS WHY I Change all names and company names
and often Even the state or Country the Idea comes from in my Case Studies.

However.

Simple and Short Version IS -

We Both Agree That "BARTER is Offering Value for Value."

Face to face or on Craigs List
You can Barter Services Other Services Or
For Physical stuff.

BUT We BARTER -Constantly- for APPOINTMENTS with Strangers.

We BARTER Valuable Information for Their VALUABLE TIME.

On-Line - Or By Phone - Since 100% of my Prospects are 1000's
of miles away from me - We've Discovered Many ways to Offer
VALUABLE Information - in Return for A Prospects VALUABLE TIME.

BARTERING - Value for Value.

Thanks,
Glenn

THEN
Vince
Referred me to Patrick Wooley.

PATRICK WOOLEY -
Patrick has taken over the "Barter Arbitrage" program.

We told Patrick, "The Barter Networks that the "Barter Arbitrage"
program sends you to after your Learn BARTER BASICS Don't Contain
all the Barter Possibilities. Let's create a website
that shares CRAZY Barter Stories from around the world."
