Default How Jack Canfield Barters To Increase His Advance Book Fee to 6-Figures

Thanks Dien,

Here's How You Can BARTER to find out what Self Made Millionaires
and Even Self made Billionaires Are REALLY Doing to make make
Big Bucks.

I often work as a "Shadow Consultant" to other Consultants
when they have A CLIENT EMERGENCY.

Dorothy called.

Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson had a "How to Write a Best Selling Book"
Seminar coming up in 5 days - 250 Seats where UN-SOLD.

A Staffer Called Dorothy-The-Marketing-Consultant in a PANIC.

a - Dorothy called us. We dictated an Email.

b - Dorothy and the "Team" Emailed millions of "Chicken Soup for the Soul"
book buyers an Offer to SPEAK to and ASK Questions of Mark and Jack
- F-r-e-e.

c - Inside the email we "mentioned" 3 new book authors
Mark and Jack had mentored - would be on the call to share their experience.

AFTER 90 Minutes of the FREEBIE Conference Call all 250 seats SOLD OUT.

As a Result Dorothy told me
How Jack Got a SIX FIGURE Advance on
a book they were writing together.

Jack put the Total Book Sales of His
Previous Book on a page.

Then the # of people on their
"Chicken Soup..." Mailing and Email list.

Then listed the # of Attendees in seats
at their Various Giant Seminars. (Including back of room book sales)

AND a Mock-Up of the book cover.

Table of Contents.

And Bullets and cover design for the back and front of the book.

***The MUNNY TOTAL Went At Bottom.***

BASICALLY
Jack Had his Team
Do all the Work FOR The Book Companies.

Then Jack sent this page to the
TOP DOG at 3 Competing Book
Publishing companies.

With a cover letter that said, "Top Advance Bid Gets This Book."

AND
Waited for his phone to ring.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default A Trash Can That BARTERS for F-r-e-e Wi Fi Service

Thanks Gordon,

Here is a Wangdoozler of a Barter Story!

Glenn

========
========
A Trash Bin That
Barters for Free
Wii Fi

This is Genius!

Some Techies who couldn't find a cell signal
at a Fair Created a Internet Trash Can.

Basically - when you toss in trash
you get a few minutes of F-r-e-e
Wii Fi signal for your phone
or other internet devices.

Here is a YouTube
Link to a video
which should stay up
for a long time.

If Not.

Google- "Wi Fi Trash Bin"

Default How We Bartered 3 FLOWERS for a 350.00 Apple iPad Mini

Thanks Gordon,

Paper Roses Cost me about 50 cents each.

Instant Scratch off Lotto tickets - 1.00 each

So I Bartered about 4.50 to Get This 350.00 Apple iPad Mini.

In a Restaurant.

Our Brunette waitress was smiling and happy and
getting us all kinds of Extra stuff from the kitchen.

A clean soup spoon.
More Ketchup. (My Dad puts ketchup on his string beans)
Extra Napkins.

So I smiled and Thanked her
and Gave her a LOTTO ticket.

Then While she watched
I made her a Red Paper Rose
I got at www.Napkinrose.com

Then another LOTTO ticket.

Then a Yellow Rose.

A 3rd Lotto ticket
and a Purple Rose.

This Girl Was Skipping
and dancing.

The end of the meal
comes and Sue
brings over some
Raffle Tickets.

Sue says, "The Restaurant
chain is celebrating it's
20th Anniversary. You've
Been SO Great here are
10 Chances to win a
Free Drink or a meal
or even a Computer."

My Dad is 96 and says,
"What's the holdup?
Let's go."

I am scratching madly away
and say, "Just a minute."

3 Scratch-Cards in and The
spoon I am Scratching cards
with Uncovers the words...

GRAND PRIZE
WINNER

And Darn if I didn't win
an Apple iPod Mini.

I - I put the rest of the
scratch-offs in my pocket
so Sue didn't get into
trouble for giving me
10 Cards.

II - Then we had to wait
for the manager.

III - I signed about 10
pages of FORMS.

IV - The manager is
muttering, "I can't
believe it. 2nd day
of the Promotion
and our only Grand
Prize is gone."

Turns out they
issued ONE Apple
Mini to each Restaurant
and I GOT IT.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default Barter Challenge w/Special Forces Soldier

Thanks Gordon,

We Got Referred to a Bored Special Forces
Soldier - just Retired from Jumping out
of planes all over the planet.

Sent him CHAPTER I of "Enchanted NLP V#1"
And Wally Said, "This is GREAT. People Act WEIRD
when I ask them Any One of your 4 Questions."

So I Challenged him a bit.

"Wally, You probably can't Do This but Here's how
I meet All the Waitresses AND the Manager of Restaurants
BEFORE I meet a Potential Client."

"If you do it RIGHT. You Can CONTROL the Restaurant
and Lead All the people there - Pied Piper Style."

"Get 100.00 in One dollar bills. Flirt Tip Every Waitress
who passes your Table with 1.00 Bills.

"Then Make Friends with the folks at a table near yours
and tell them you want to impress a client when they
arrive. Hand a Volunteer at their table 10 - 1.00 bills.
And SAY, "Everytime I hand the waitress a 1.00 bill
YOU do it too, OK?"

"You Are Soon KING of The Restaurant. Waitresses
and cooks Dancing around and giggling and Piling
food on your table. AND the Prospect is Much
More likely to PAY You When he or she sees
you Leading 100's of people."

Wally said, "I'm going to TRY THAT with my Mother-in-Law
at the Table on my Wife's Anniversary dinner."

RESULTS?

Wally Reported back, "Wow, everything worked Fantastic.
Even my Mother-in-Law was Impressed at the Service.
And finally SHUT UP. The Joint was Jumping.
And when we left 7 waitresses
lined up at the door to Say Thank You."

I asked, "Did you tip them all another dollar
on the way out?"

Laughter, "OF COURSE."

Wally Then sent me 913.79 for the REST of the
"Enchanted NLP Invisible Persuasion-Program.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default 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.

Default 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

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,

Dien

Default 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
