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

Thank you Glenn for showering us with these diamonds of ideas!
 

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! :)

Best wishes,

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...
 

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.

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... :)
 

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!

Dien
