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 |

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 |

Truly great business is WIN-WIN...
Quote:
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...! Dien |
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. |
Glenn... Thanks! Lunch is on me... :)

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! Dien |
Another great "super power" you can get from that story...
Quote:
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!

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 |

How a ONE-LEGGED man would BEAT the neon shoe plan!
Quote:
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! :) ) Best wishes, Dien |
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 |
How to stop worrying about things...
Quote:
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! Dien |

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 |

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 We're Bartering to Get Hired By a Window Installer
Thanks Gordon,
A few questions Uncovered One Fact. Two actually. I - The man is spending Lots of munny on Yellow Page ads and other marketing he does not track or measure.

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 |

How to Barter LOTTO Ticket Thank You Rewards for F_R_E_E Food
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, Glenn |
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 |
Good advice, Glenn, on getting the attention of millionaires and billionaires!
Quote:
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,

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.

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. Future sales. Future Customer Referrals. Thanks, Glenn |
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. https://ourgoods.org/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 Quote:

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 |
How Hook-Up-Referrals & Barter Led Us to 81 Self Made Millionaires
Thanks Gordon & Dien,
A few years ago SOMEONE Referred Vegas Vince to my website which contains 1/2 a billion in (1-of-a-kind) Munny making Case Studies. VEGAS VINCE - Vince emailed me after spending 4 "BLISSFUL" hours there. (His word) And we did 3 **Wild/Crazy/Shoot-from-the-hip** BlogTalkRadio interviews together. Topic? Hundreds of the WEIRD ways self made millionaires around the world make Munny. UGLY Real Stuff taken from Interviews with the INVENTORS of the ideas. Not Sugar Coated pablum you find most often in Main Stream books and CD's and DVD's. Part Time Extra Cash from home. Emergency moolah. Munny from hobbies. 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." What Lots of the Self Made Millionaires Barter for Are NOT In Great Supply on the East Coast, West Coast or State Barter Associations and Networks I've visited. Barter for Appointments with Prospects like Your #1 Client Barter for Car Discounts Barter for 1st Class Seats Barter to get Sold Out Seats on planes and restaurants and concerts (Hint - Nothing is REALLY - EVER "Sold Out." Barter to Get More Food Barter to Get Better Food Barter to Get Food Items NOT on the menu Barter to Get Service from 3 Waitress instead of one Barter to Meet the Restaurant owner Barter to meet the Casino Manager Barter to Meet the Car Dealership Owner Barter for Rolex Watches Charity Barter for Designer Dresses Barter for Expensive Perfume and cologne Barter for A Free Massage or Hair stylist I Watched a Self Made Millionairess BARTER her way (With me in tow) to the front of a line 500 (NOT HAPPY to watch us go by) people Long to get into a Theater Stage Show.
