Jay Abraham Ad
 
I may have mentioned it before, but I am looking for an original Jay Abraham where Jay explained that he would work of free if the person engaging him would endorse him to the moon, so to speak.

I found one ad that explained that he was the marketing guru who was afraid to fly... I am NOT looking for that, I have it. :)

As I remember it, the ad I am looking for explained that Jay would work for free as long as once he made you a pile of money, you would endorse him, but only after he made the business a lot of money.

If anyone knows where the ad is, I would appreciate seeing it again.

How Jay Abraham sold $28 million dollars of a $377 book...
 
Hi Millard,

Wow... Interesting!

I decided to see what I could find...

I couldn't find an ad like you described... But I found this interesting story from Jay Abraham, using this technique...

Here's the story, in his own words... of how he sold $28 million dollars worth of a $377 book, from endorsements...

This is the story of how he got the endorsements for his book... (I fixed one typo in the transcript.)
"Maybe I should tell you how we got the first book so popular. Cause I had 80 endorsers of the $377 book. This took me a long time, but it might be an interesting story.

"So I got somebody that I had helped back then. It was Nightingale-Conant who at the time was the largest publisher of audio books that were nonfiction. It published every business, every sales, every skillset author out there, spiritual person.

"And I got them to send a copy of the book. I underwrote it to every one of their key authors with a letter saying that I wanted to buy that person two hours of my time. And we denominated what that was worth, which back then I was getting $50,000 a day when I did a day. So whatever one eighth of 50 is times two, is $12,000. And that Jay will treat it like you paid for it at the end of that period, if you are impressed beyond imagination because of what he shared and you've perused the book, anything he shares is yours to use freely, but he'd love you to give him an endorsement.

"We did it to about a hundred people and I was fortunate. It took me a long time. It took me two full months of investment, but we got 80 of the top people in the whole world to endorse me. And that's how we were able to sell $28 million."

From https://www.legacylaunchpadpub.com/blog/jay
In summary...
  • He gave away copies of his book to other authors who had been published by Nightingale-Conant.
  • Jay offered the authors two hours of consulting for free, which he valued at $12,000.
  • If they were impressed by the consulting, Jay would love it if they would give him an endorsement.
  • He got 80 top authors to endorse him.
  • He credits this with helping him to sell 72,000 copies of a $377 book.
Not a bad idea... :)

One more thing I noticed...

A person could use this technique on a smaller scale locally to sell just about anything... however, I think that using this to sell consulting or a high-priced book or a local high-priced newsletter makes the most sense.

Barter Strategy to get a FREE Copy Of Jay's 2000.00 Book "Stealth Marketing"
 
Thanks Millard,

I SOLD a Seminar Seat to someone. Then Bartered for a Free Seat At a 20K "Jay A" Protege Boot Camp.

Then Showed up the DAY Before at the DOUBLE TREE HOTEL (On Purpose).

Workers Delivered a TruckLoad of Boxes to The Entrance Lobby off the Main Double Tree Hotel.

So.

I Got Busy.

Cut the Plastic off.Huge Pallet load of boxes.

Opened all the Boxes.

Put them in Order- So People Could Get Their Materials.

Jay's Partner at the time, BILL, arrived.

VERY HAPPY to Avoid all the Heavy Lifting. (I Split wood but had Tired Muscles afterward.) Bill Gave me one of each of Everything they were Selling at the time.

Best Thing I got Was "Stealth Marketing" book. Full of REASON WHY ALREADY Tested - ALREADY 6 and 7 Figure Profitable - Jay's Letters, Ads, Offers.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - YOU might wanna Simply Adopt the PSYCHOLOGY Behind the Headline BELOW to Your Customers. And Make Extra Cash.

BECAUSE I FIGURED out the Strategy Behind a Letter Jay Used to Make 6 or 7 Figures ON The Side -
***Before He Did The Protege Program.

His Secret Side Gig "Moolah from His Desk Chair" - Hobby.

(EDITORS NOTE - One of the Benefits of Bartering My way to 15 of Jay's Events.
Is all the Behind The Scenes SECRET SALES INFO You Pick Up. That Nobody
Else Knows.)

Wrote up my own VERSION of this Sales Letter GEM.
Tested it Successfully.

WHY I Think this is a Best Seller?

A - You Can Do it from Home

Switch Some of that over to You. TOUGHER to get a Biz owner to START Forking
over Marketing Bucks.

D - You Can SPOT their PAIN. So You Are Fixing a PAINFUL marketing Situation
they are ALREADY paying for.

E - You Don't have to Beat Their Sales Results And STILL Get Paid. (So you can
Test Headlines and offers with THEIR Moolah)

F - You NEVER get Asked for a Refund - even if Your Ad Does Not Beat theirs.

Endorsements and testimonials...
 
Everyone likes endorsements... Many prospects and customers take them on board...

Of course, receiving endorsements or testimonials is also quite a lot of fun...

We all (including myself) should do more of it...

Thanks for the insight, Millard!

Best wishes,

Dien

Follow Dan Kennedy's Advice And You Guarantee Your Success
 
Thanks Dien,

I Borrow and Adapt Ideas from Smarter Folks than Me.

Dan Says, "The Herd Majority is ALWAYS WRONG. All Thru History. So To Succeed Do the Opposite."

Jay A Seminars - Everybody Else Showed Up and SAT in Their Chairs.

I Came Early and Worked.

I Also Switched Seats Every Break And After Meals. Chatted with NEW People
all Day.

Went to the Back of the Room and Quizzed Millionaires Who Stood and Shared How They were Making Money.

NOBODY ELSE Was There but Me.

===============
A Neighbor has a Hubby with a Heart Pace Maker.

Every time I Walk past her Yard I Drag a Dead tree Limb over into a Pile.

The Pile is OVER my Head Now.

I Even Caught The Hubby Sawing with a tiny handsaw. Extra Limbs for me to Carry off.

RESULT.

When They Hired a Tree Company. They GIFTED me all their ChainSawed Maple Wood.

About 500.00 Worth.

=============
=============
Similarly at SowPub.com

When Someone Asks a Specific Question
You and Gordon try to help.

Using REAL LIFE "HowTo" Examples.

Not Theory.

Merry Christmas,
Glenn

P.S. - Just Had the Owner of a Restaurant Cook a Special Meal for a Client/Guest.

He Said I was the ONLY One Who tips His cooks.

P.P.S. - Read About a Bank Teller Who Went Dr To Dr. Brought in Several Million In
New Savings Accounts. THEN found out what she was doing is ILLEGAL.

Got Promoted to Bank Manager.

None of the "SalesPeople" for the Bank - Left The Building.

She Outsold all of the Sales People as a Minimum Wage Teller. Doing The Opposite of everybody else.
