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. |
