A PR Company Owner/Client Told me how she gets her biggest jobs From The Production Companies behind NYCity Broadway Shows. I - Susanne Spots a new Show in Production and finds their offices. II - She knows the whole team work long hours. III - Susanne arranges with a local Restaurant Chef to make a huge tin of her mothers Recipe for Lasagna. IV - Suse puts on a Delivery outfit and Hand Delivers The Big Box of Fresh Warm Lasagna herself. V - Inside The Big Box - Paper Plates, plastic knives, forks, spoons, Napkins. VI - And a Note on Top. "Dear Broadway Co Owner, "Enjoy my Mom's Home Cooked Lasagna - on me. I know you are working late to get ready for the New Show OPENING. So this meal will save you wasted time - hunting for food. "Expect a call from me tomorrow. Because this is just a small sample of the kinds of things I can do for you - PR - wise. Thanks, Susanne. ======== ======== RESULT? She says she closes 80% of those she sends Her LASAGNA SURPRISE to. In effect. Susanne is Bartering Lasagna for an Appointment. And time to Talk. And Begins That Relationship in a POSITIVE BANK ACCOUNT Position. She Fed The Biz owner. HELPED him or her during a TIME CRUNCH. They OWE her. Thanks, Glenn |

How a Butcher Shop Owner In Scotland Uses Barter Krista Interviewed her friend who owns the local Butcher Shop. OK, they Barter Meat, Meat pies, meaty stuff for: - fridge/freezer, hot cabinet repairs - buying stock reduced from the delivery drivers (eggs, pie shells, pastries, sausage rolls, bridies) - gets sold for 3 times what they paid for it - an arrangement with the cash and carry man who lends them the keys to the warehouse. - getting the cars and vans repaired - deal to butcher lambs for the guy that sells lamb - for resale at higher prices - same with the chicken orders - word of mouth sales from people who send other people to order from the shop and pay extra for the orders to be picked up. The meat market is 6 doors away and they're going anyway. They make 50% on top of salary with this one. - people to tell them about supermarket special deals on meat (Easter, Christmas etc), they resell it in the shop at markup (double at Christmas) - overalls, cloths, cleaning supplies Thanks, Glenn |

Fascinating story! It shows that there's "barter" everywhere... One thing which is good to keep in mind is with "deal-making" - everything can be "on the table"... It's not always just about dollars and cents! In fact, the best deal makers know that sometimes, it's something "extra" that can clinch the deal... Which may not even cost a lot of money to provide, if anything at all... By the way, I spent some time in South Korea a few years ago. The area within Seoul where the US military base is located is called Itaewon, and it's the main area where there are a lot of "foreign" establishments, so it's probably the best place to get foreign food in Korea. In Itaewon, you see a lot of US soldiers walking around when they are walking around off base. I couldn't get on the base (as I'm not US military), but people who had been there told me that being on the base is pretty much like being in the USA... With the most popular fast food outlets, etc., that you can find in the USA. Best wishes! Dien |

I gotta say, I think you're one of the smartest info-product providers out there... Back when you could still sell ebooks on eBay (which they don't allow any more now), people were selling ebooks for $1, $2, maybe at most $5. And I saw with my own eyes... Glenn was selling his ebooks by auction for literally hundreds of dollars each... I have no doubt they were (and are) worth every penny. Yet, why was Glenn able to do this with ebooks on eBay - and nobody else could? Not even the "big guru" marketers? The answer to that is why I pay attention to all of Glenn's teachings...! Thanks Glenn for sharing! Best wishes, Dien |

Ok. Surprise - Surprise. This is a bit WEIRD. MASS Barter - instead of 1 on 1. ========== FireTruck Parade Barter System for Chain of Jewelry Stores Bumps Sales 20 to 31% Hi, We got referred to Homer Hillis who buys Texas Radio Stations out of Bankruptcy. He also runs a chain of do-it-yourself Jewelry stores. His Best Buyers String Jewelry parts together and RE-SELL what they make. Homer bought an old FireTruck-Fixed it up. Then ordered thousands of Angel Pins. Calls up Parade Organizers all over and Asks Permission to Drive his Antique FireEngine in their Town Parade. Co-incidentally - the SAME towns he has Jewelry stores in. The Girls on the Fire Engine Barter Free Angel Pins - they toss into the Crowd - in return for visits to Homers Jewelry Store. The Cardboad Backing on the Angel Pin says, "Put Your Birth Stone Colors into the Angels Eyes Free Of Charge At ABC Jewelry store. Homer and His Wife Carefully Line The Shelves and the Path to the Back of the Store - with their #1 Best Selling SPARKLERS. Thus the 30% Jump in Jewelry Sales after the Parade. Exactly Like Putting Candy Bars at the Checkout Counter in a food store. Clever Way to Barter A Free Angel Pin To BOOST Walk-thru Traffic at his Jewelry Stores! Thanks, Glenn |

You Know How You Catch Colds and Get The Flu Bug Every year? Have to Take Time off? Headaches and sneezing and Runny nose And feel So Rotten you Have to STAY in Bed? I am Spoiled. I am Bullet-proof. I NEVER Get Sick. Haven't gotten sick - Period - for the past 26 years. Why? Because I eat 1 Special All Natural Energy Product that is fished out of a Lake in Klamath Falls - Freeze Dried. BE CAREFUL Because only 1 Item on the long list is MAGIC - at NewEarth.com. This stuff is Said to be the Most Nutritious Natural source of vitamins and minerals left on the Planet. I Dunno about all that. I know it works, tho. Because For 20 Years I've been sending EXTRA Energy to Prospects. These Prospects often become Info buyers and clients. And sometimes they REFER me Business. My SUPER SPINACH mentor - Barb - Who Makes about 20 mil a year fixing peoples Health Issues - Tells me a new INSTANT ENERGY - Liquid Lightning Product Almost Took Her Head OFF. So I am Calling People to get their Physical Addresses so I can send them a F-r-e-e Sample When it launches this October. Here's an Example of What Happens to me MUNNY-REFERRAL-WISE as a Result. And an Idea for YOU to use to Make More Munny from Referrals yourself. ========== ========== How We Used The BannedBarter Site to Get Referred to a New Marketing Client So I Emailed Ed in Pennsylvania to get his Snail mail address so I could Send him a Free Organic Energy product sample. Ed Reciprocated by telling me about a website that can Turn Partial Info about people on social media into a Complete Mailing list. www.BroadLook.com In Turn I told him about the new Barter Website I am working on. www.BannedBarter.com Told Him How we Used Barter To Find out How a Self Made Billionaire Got his start. Posted the story details there. Ed then told me he wanted to Refer me to a Friend Who is the owner of a Bakery Who Needs my Marketing help. www.AliceBakery.com I Googled it and the owner is my IDEAL Client. Making lots of munny. Just Opened a 2nd location. Stretched to the limit because - Like Many Entrepreneurs - he is doing everything himself. What I call - *Running a Biz out of your back pocket.* Ideal Client for me because I can Replace PAIN & Lack Of Sleep - with SYSTEMS. So the owner Works Less and Makes MORE due to Systems that do the part of his job he DISLIKES. Thanks, Glenn |

Thanks for sharing this! Some people try to get in business... Yet they don't want to give anything away! They see it as all about getting as much cash as possible, and holding on to it as tightly as possible... Often these people don't last too long... A better approach is to know that... you have to give in order to receive! Don't be too "tight-fisted"... as it will probably hurt you in the end if you take that approach. You'll fail. Many people don't realize that... Instead, give something... Like Dave in the quote above... Like Glenn teaches with the instant scratch-off lottery tickets, and other small gifts. Even giving away free reports (which I do from time to time)... I have a friend - who I will probably be doing business with soon - who wanted to see a movie at a film festival a few days ago, but was unable to get a ticket. I heard about this, and managed to purchase a ticket at the "last minute" (I found out they were going to release some "extra" tickets a few hours before the screening, even though it was already "sold out") and I gave the ticket to her for free, as a gift. She was over the moon! I felt very good doing it... and I knew that doing that would be good for me in the long run, too! Help people, and they'll help you back... ![]() Plus, it's good "karma"...! Best wishes, Dien |

We called a Client who does 4-Color Printing Big Printing Jobs for 100's of Jiffy Print stores, Banks, Malls, Ad Agencies. "Let's Barter With your Suppliers for Referrals, George." I - Who do you pay the most munny to every month? ANSWER - The local Manager of a Paper Plant. II - Who are your Biggest and most Profitable Clients? ANSWER - Airports, Malls, Big Regional Banks So we called the manager up at the Paper Plant and said, "George would like to visit you at the paper plant and bring his 91,000.00 Check for the month." ANSWER - "Great. Can he come today? I'll buy him lunch. So. We Just Bartered A 91,000.00 Check for an Appointment and a Free Lunch. NEXT QUESTION - Mr Paper Manager - are you on salary or do you get Bonuses for more paper sales? Answer - BONUSES. GREAT. So When You Refer George To People you do business with at Any Business that fits Georges - Top 3 Best Clients - Each worth a million dollars Plus in business a year... The 91,000 Monthly Check will go Way Up and you get paid a BIG BONUS. QUESTION - Who do you know who works at a Big Regional Bank, Mall Management, Airport Administration? Mr Paper Plant Manager Gave George 4 or 5 Contacts AND Called Them up to Introduce and Endorse George! So We Bartered A 91,000.00 Check for a Free Lunch and 4 Million dollars in New Referral Business Equal to or Better Than Georges 3 Top Clients. You can do this too. Thanks, Glenn |

How My Mom Used Cookie-Barter to Pack Her Home Economics Classes to Over-flowing. Hi, I learned this Barter- to-Keep-Your-Job- Technique from the inside - so to speak. My job - as the oldest of 3 Brothers - was to make Dessert for each meal at Home. If something I cooked or baked looked GREAT. Mom would Ask my Permission to Photograph it and add it to her Slide Show. She Made Trips to all the Jr High Schools that Fed Kids into the Sr High School where she worked. Took Several 1000 Sugar, Raisin, Walnut, Oatmeal, Choco Chip cookies (Her kids made Extra) to Feed 500 High School kids at a time. While she Showed them Slides and talked about what they would Learn to Cook If they signed up for Home Ec Cooking Class in Sr High. Result? Job Security. While all other Home Economics Programs in Maryland were Failing. My Mom - as Home Ec Dept Chairman - Filled every Class of hers and The Other Home Economics Teachers Classrooms to Over-Flowing. More PROOF You Can't Learn to Be An Entrepreneur in Public School... NOT ONE Teacher asked, "Why are all Your Classrooms Bulging with kids and ours are Empty? Great Fun to meet Kids and their parents in the Grocery Store and hear parents Raving about how good their son or daughter is in the kitchen. Thanks, Glenn |
