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.

Re: How We BARTERED for a New 2100.00/27 inch IMac Computer
 

Thanks Glenn,

Another fantastic true story!

One thing I got out of this is again, more proof, when you help people, they want to help you back...

It's a good feeling. And can be profitable too...

Thank you again for sharing! :)

Best wishes,

Dien

It's so outrageous... It just might work... ;)
 

Thanks Glenn!

I think you're a genius...!

It may sound outrageous... but these are great ideas...!

Thank you for sharing them...

This is one I'm going to put to use!

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?

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
