How Barter Got Dave 30%-50% of the Junk He Sells at his JunkYard

[Glenn]

Thanks Dien,

Randy told me the story of how he became the owner of a Iraq War Dog
named "Sister."

On his 2nd tour as a soldier in Iraq Randy was about to go home
when his unit commander came over to him.

Said, "If you don't take "Sister" home with you we'll have to shoot her.
She doesn't take orders from anybody but you."

Randy argued, "What am I going to do with a 250 pound monster dog
at my house in Houston, TX?"

Commander - "You'll Figure it out." And walked away.

PROBLEM #1 - Sister is Trained to Drag injured soldiers out of danger. Ignores
bullets and only takes orders from ONE MAN. So she can't fly in the passenger
area of an airplane. She could bite someones arm off - Guarding Randy.

So Randy spends 20 hours strapped to the wall of a Giant Cargo Plane
with Sister's head in his lap for Warmth.

Randy told me his butt froze solid on the metal of the plane floor.

I asked, "Just How big is Sister?"

Randy - "Let's just say I can put my entire head in her mouth with room
left over."

PROBLEM #2 - Sister Is solid muscle but is too heavy for the 112 degree heat
of Houston, TX - so she stays inside the Air conditioned house most of the time.
Randy is trying to figure out how to get Sister to lose wgt.

PROBLEM #3 - Sister is more like a Horse than a dog. And when she runs
at night -when it's cooler- the bullets and shrapnel inside her body -
work their way to the surface of her skin.

Randy gives the command NOT TO MOVE. And slices her skin to remove
the metal paining her.

But there are lots more pieces of metal inside her. So Sister
is often in pain.

PROBLEM #4 - Sister has been Trained not to eat anything except at a certain
time of the day and from her own special Bowl. Several Pounds of Raw Steak.

So Randy can't figure out how to get Vitamins into her.

STRATEGY I - We Surveyed our Mastermind Group. Found a guy who knew
that when you stick a Big Glob of Peanut Butter with Vitamin Capsules
stuck inside BEHIND a Dogs Front TEETH- the dog will lick and lick at it until
the peanut butter is gone AND swallow the vitamins - all at the same time.

SUCCESS STORY II - We sent 240.00 of SUPER Blue Green Algae capsules
to Randy - Explaining how to Feed Them inside Peanut Butter to SISTER.

And not only did she begin to heal faster - from all the bullet wounds. But
the stray chunks of bullets were quickly forced out of her body - so she was
not in constant pain.

SIDE EFFECT III - Randy discovered that by Feeding Sister Lots of Algae
In Peanut Butter - She Felt so good she began to run around more. And
began to lose weight. So she didn't suffer so much in the heat.

They only went out at night - so as not to SCARE the neighbors.

RESULT?

A few weeks after we helped Randy Heal His Friend Sister
we got a big box in the mail.

When I opened it up there was a NEW 27 inch Screen - 2100.00 IMac
Apple Computer inside.

And Randy had loaded it with software AND called to walk me thru
the set up process.

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks Gordon,

Seth Godin is a genius.

Like you - I've read most of his books.

Here's ONE of his ideas we've
ADAPTED to BARTER with Customers for...

A - More Purchases

B - Success Stories and Testimonials

C - Referrals to friends and associates

===========
===========
Seth's Idea -

He Doubled or Tripled a Musicians CD sales by telling her -

"When a customer orders - send them 3 or 4 copies of the
same CD. Why? Because they know OTHERS who like the
same music and they will GIVE other people your CD
and they will buy your stuff too."

You might recognize this as his "SUPER SNEEZER" idea.

Ok.

When someone orders one of our many e-books
it would be SILLY to send them 3 or 4 Copies of the same
mp3 file - right?

So.

WHAT Do We DO Instead?

Here's a fresh Example:

Simon ordered - "How A Client Made 88K in a Day Telemarketing"

http://archive.enchantednlp.com/products.php?id=19

FIRST - We know Simon wants to make munny over the phone

2nd - We know he probably wants to make munny from home

3rd - We Know Simon WANTS MORE MOOLAH. Period.

So.

We Sent Simon - Five Different Thank You Rewards.

THANK YOU REWARD #1 - A Link to www.BannedBarter.com
where Simon will find nearly 100 Munny making Barter Testimonials and Case Studies.

THANK YOU REWARD #2 - A link to the site where we store the Best
VIP Results from Pay it forward LOTTO Ticket And 1.00 bill tipping.
www.NLPBrainBuzz.com

THANK YOU REWARD #3 - A Chapter from a book with 50 million dollars of referral systems inside...PROVING that LOTTO tickets have Munny Making Clout.
CHAPTER #31 - How A Substitute Teacher Referral Program Got Milly 5X More Jobs -
http://chapters.enchantednlp.com/grm...ed0f087ba1.php

THANK YOU REWARD #4 - An Entire Biz That We do from home
with help from a 20 mil a year mentor. A book full of Testimonials...

"How to get People to P-a-y You" - Download Page: http://ebook.enchantednlp.com/logincrtpy.php

THANK YOU REWARD #5 - A page full of Dog Stories our 20 mil a yr
Mentor Sent us...

You Understand why This is BARTER?

Seth's Idea - to give away extra CD's - is a powerful REFERRAL SYSTEM.

Our Version? - We're ADDING VALUE by sending ideas to buyers
based on what we KNOW they are interested in -

to BARTER for...

Good will.
Future sales.
Future Customer Referrals.

Thanks,
Glenn

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.

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!

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

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

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

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?

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!
