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

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!

Thanks Gordon,

OOOOPS.

I had to ask Dien to take down my LONGER Answer
because even with Written PERMISSION.

One of my Coaching clients GOT SCARED
that we publicly SHARED how he BARTERED to double his income.

Then BARTERED a Website to Close a 25,000.00 Deal.

Despite Our ASKING his Permission
to Share the INFO with others.

THIS IS WHY I Change all names and company names
and often Even the state or Country the Idea comes from in my Case Studies.

However.

Simple and Short Version IS -

We Both Agree That "BARTER is Offering Value for Value."

Face to face or on Craigs List
You can Barter Services Other Services Or
For Physical stuff.

BUT We BARTER -Constantly- for APPOINTMENTS with Strangers.

We BARTER Valuable Information for Their VALUABLE TIME.

On-Line - Or By Phone - Since 100% of my Prospects are 1000's
of miles away from me - We've Discovered Many ways to Offer
VALUABLE Information - in Return for A Prospects VALUABLE TIME.

BARTERING - Value for Value.

Thanks,

Thanks Gordon & Dien,

A few years ago SOMEONE Referred Vegas Vince to my website
which contains 1/2 a billion in (1-of-a-kind) Munny making Case Studies.

VEGAS VINCE -
Vince emailed me after spending 4 "BLISSFUL" hours there. (His word)

And we did 3 **Wild/Crazy/Shoot-from-the-hip** BlogTalkRadio
interviews together.

Topic?

Hundreds of the WEIRD ways self made millionaires around the world
make Munny.

taken from Interviews with the INVENTORS of the ideas. Not Sugar Coated
pablum you find most often in Main Stream books and CD's and DVD's.

Part Time Extra Cash from home.
Emergency moolah.
Munny from hobbies.

THEN
Vince
Referred me to Patrick Wooley.

PATRICK WOOLEY -
Patrick has taken over the "Barter Arbitrage" program.

We told Patrick, "The Barter Networks that the "Barter Arbitrage"
program sends you to after your Learn BARTER BASICS Don't Contain
all the Barter Possibilities. Let's create a website
that shares CRAZY Barter Stories from around the world."

to get into a Theater Stage Show.

Barter for Golf Course Memberships
Barter for Limo Service

AND
BRIBED our customers to Vote on Which Categories of Barter
they wanted to BUY More Information about.

Business Barter - Weird Barter - CraigsList Barter

Then Patrick
Hooked me up with Jane.

Jane belongs to a Mastermind Group of 81 Self made millionaires who

This is the Story Bob Told me while having lunch.

How He Created VALUE
and TRUST out of Nothing.

And took himself from nobody in his chosen city
to multi-millionaire in the Key Person Headhunting biz.

On the one Hand Bob Seems
to BARTER For His First Appointment
with the 3 MAJOR PLAYERS in his local Headhunting
Hi-Tech Niche Business.

On The OTHER Hand You Could Call what
Bob did with his Spreadsheet Connections
System a REFERRAL SYSTEM.

PLUS it's easily Adaptable in ANY Industry.

STEP #1 - Bob moved into town and couldn't CALL UP
any of the top 3 BIG PLAYERS who supplied the KEY
PEOPLE to the Tech Industry. (He tried.)

STEP #2 - So Bob Created a Spreadsheet of these 3 guys
and all of the people they know and work with that He Can Find.

STEP #3 - Then Bob Made a List of everyone HE KNOWS
in the industry. Called Them up and ASKED, "Do you know
or do you Know someone ELSE who knows any of these 3
Big GUYS?

STEP #4 - Bob made a Last Column on his Spreadsheet
of all of HIS CONTACTS who know or can Email or call
the BIG THREE directly.

STEP #5 - Bob Started BARTERING with this last short list
of Folks. Helping them. Sending them books and Links
and Referrals.

ANYTHING he could do to create a POSITIVE
BANK Account with them.

STEP #6 - After 30 days of Intense Work - Bob LAUNCHED His Plan.
He contacted all of the Folks
he'd done FAVORS for and ASKED them to Call and write the
BIG THREE and say something complimentary about Bob.

a - He supplied them with phone scripts

b - He wrote a bunch of possible emails

c - He created 5 or 6 Reasons why each person might
Write a Thank you letter to the BIG THREE and
name drop Bob's name.

Bob literally walked with these people to The MAIL BOX
and put the letter inside.

RESULT?

ONE WEEK AFTER Bob asked his Contact List
to Endorse him to the 3 INNER CIRCLE HEAD HUNTER GUYS
Bob's Phone Calls got thru.

Bob Had lunch with each of the 3 guys.

And Showed them What Bob had done before
in another city. And his ideas to help THEM.

His Key Person Head Hunting Biz Took Off!

Glenn

Is The Promise of Getting 50,000.00 of F-r-e-e
Software Barter?

What do YOU Think?

Mike was part owner of a Medical Testing Business.

And he spent 50Grand to develop Special Software
that Doctors can use to Cut LABOR COSTS in their practice.

Mike Couldn't Figure Out How to SELL It, however.

So he gave it away in this PostCard offer.

I'm Writing From Memory here but
the Headline and offer on the postcard
read something like THIS -

You Can Get $50,000 of
Medical Software for FREE
To Cut Labor Costs in
Your Practice When you
Switch Your Medical Testing
Biz to XYZ MedCorp.
Call Ph#

RESULT?

And Please Remember that All of Mikes
Medical Testing Competitors were
multi-billion behemoths.

What IS Medical testing?

When you go to the DOC he or she
May take blood or urine or stool
Samples and send it to the lab
to find out what Is WRONG with you.

There you have it.

Anyway.

For 2 Weeks Mike Got Phone Calls
from Doctor Practice Owners who
Switched a total of 487,000.00 of
Medical Testing Business over to Mike
Over a two week Period.

In Return for a Floppy Disk!

ONE PROBLEM.

Mike's Partners At The LAB
BEGGED him not to mail the
PostCard Any More.

They Couldn't Keep up with
the Sudden Influx of Business.

So Mike Sold his interest in the
Business While it was At it's
Highest Value.

Started something New.

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks Dien,

While Writing a "Banned Barter Volume II" e-book
I googled "What is the Definition of BARTER?"

========
BARTER - The Exchange of (goods or services) for other goods or services without using money
========

Fantastic.

My Favorite Barbra Streisand Quote, "I like to Research The Technology of
things so I can Stretch the Limits."

This Definition of BARTER allows us to THINK OUTSIDE the BOX.

THIS MEANs -

***We can Barter a Service for Goods.

***Goods for a Service.

***Goods for Goods.

***A Service for a Service.

***A Service for both Goods and another Service.

***Goods for Different Goods and Services.

I - "GOODS" could be a Postage Stamp

II - "A Service" Might be A Case Study In Your Industry
Which Shows you how Someone ELSE in your Business
is making 7 figures in a new Way. So you can do it too.

III - BARTER of GOODS - Might be When I Send you a SHOE in the Mail. With
a NOTE inside that Says, "Just wanted to Get my SHOE in the door to ______"

IV - A BARTER SERVICE - I knew a guy who Sent out Thousands of JOKE Postcards a year. Made millions by customizing the idea for Niche Industry Clients.

Perhaps he was BARTERING a LAUGH linked to Your Offer
To Raise Response Rates. IT REALLY WORKED.

How are
we doing?

Does Your Brain Feel STRETCHED?
=============
=============
ACTION SUMMARY -

This means the Salvation Army Group
that sends me Letters Every Month - with a window and a REAL STAMP
is Using BARTER to get me to OPEN THE ENVELOPE and GIVE.

======

This Means That when Gary Halbert stapled a 100.00 bill on
top of 200 sales letters to his most affluent Newsletter customers...

He
was
Bartering
for their Time to read his 20,000.00 offer.

Gary's 1.00 Bill Letter Which has Grossed Literally BILLIONS for him,
His clients and many of US - Might be Considered BARTER too.

======
Perhaps it ALSO Means that "The-Billion-a-month"
Interactive Games Like WOW - "World of WarCraft and
"Dungeons and Dragons
Use BARTER to get players HOOKED.

They BARTER Version I -
- Which is Free - For a Chance to Get You Hooked on their Game.

But to get the UpGrade to the "New Improved Version."
You
Gotta
PAY.

REMEMBER Aol? They got out in front of Competitors - FOR A WHILE - by
sending out Zillions of copies of their EZ to use - Software Floppy Disks.

This Definition of BARTER says AOL got Rich
by Bartering F-r-e-e Software for each New USER.

=======
Hmmmm.

I just went to YouTube and Watched a Collection of NEW MOVIE TRAILERS.

Could it be that these
FREE Mini Movies
Can Be Considered BARTER?

Barter FREE MINI ENTERTAINMENT
For 2 Minutes of our Time -- to Persuade us to B-UY the Movie.

(Editors Note - I know I decided which movies I WANTED to Watch
and NOT WATCH - right then and there - so the Trailers are VERY EFFECTIVE.)

Thanks,
Glenn

[Glenn]

Hi,

I just realized that while Gary Halbert LITERALLY PAID prospects to read
his letters.

Which IS NOT BARTER. (Because Barter does not use Munny.)

Gary used lots of other items
on top of his sales offers.

I Believe - Gary may have been The INSPIRATION for "Lumpy Mail."

And I myself have sent Snail Mail Letters with Green Leaves Stapled to the
top.

=========
Hi - The Reasons WHY This Letter has a Maple LEAF stapled on top are two.

#1 - This Letter is about putting more GREEN in your wallet.

#2 - Before This Leaf Turns Brown Our Offer is Dead too.

=========

I've sent Letters on top of cookies.

Sales letters Stapled to Teddy Bears.

Fortune Cookie Sales letters.

YOU GET THE IDEA.

So.

I Goofed in the Previous Post - when I Talked About Gary Halbert
Bartering with munny in the mail. (NOT Strictly Barter)

But Gary stuck all kinds of goofy things to the tops of his
letters. Not Just Munny.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - I got to Reviewing - in my mind - what I had written and Figured I'd
better FESS Up to making a mistake.

[Glenn]

Thanks Gordon,

Here is what I did to Create a Situation where I Got F-r-e-e
Fortune Cookies for Several Years. 1000's of Free Fortune Cookies.

FIRST - Mike at FancyFortuneCookies.com and I were talking. And Mike
said, "I'd love to have a bunch more Wedding Planner Customers. They
Order a LOT of Fortune Cookies."

So I Offered to Try and Find Him "A bunch" of these Wedding Planner folks
since they were among his best prospects.

***IF - Mike would let me Give Away FORTUNE COOKIE Thank you Baskets.

***IF - I found him 50 or more Mike Agreed to Mail Customized Thank you
Fortune Cookie Baskets to my Marketing Consulting Prospects BEFORE I called them.

***And IF - Mike would give me the Name, Address and Ph # and Job Title
a Bunch of his Best Repeat Buyers of Fortune Cookies to call up.

ALL of WHICH WE Agreed on.

FUNNY THINGS HAPPEN When you offer to Help Business Owners
THANK REWARD their Best Clients.

My
3rd
Phone
call into the List was to TOM - Whose job Title is "Banquet Facilities Manager" at a major Hotel in
Chicago.

Tom LOVED the idea of Paying NOTHING to Send a Thank You Basket of
Fortune Cookies to HIS Best - Most Frequent Banquet Facilities Users - Wedding
Planner Company owners.

I asked Tom, "How many Wedding Planner Clients do you have?"

Tom said, "Oh, a few HUNDRED."

ME - "COUGH, Cough, Cough. Sorry frog in my throat."

I called Mike up with the GOOD NEWS.

And Mike said, "Thanks. Please STOP. I've gotta call Tom at the Hotel
and figure out what Fortune Cookie Baskets he wants to send 200 to 300
Wedding Planners. And THEN figure out how to Follow up with all of them."

IF BARTER is Trading goods and Services for other Goods and Services
without munny.

IF Barter is Swapping Value for Value.

a - We Traded Our Time And Experience to Find 300 of Mikes Best
Prospects - in Return for some Free Gifts for MY Prospects.

b - Then Mike Traded 300 Thank you Reward Fortune Cookie Baskets
to the Facilities Manager at the Hotel (Thank You Rewards That got the Hotel
More Bookings) - to Get INTRODUCED to
300 Wedding Planners.

Sort of Mind Boggling if you think about
the Possibilities for this idea.

Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,

You are an Idea Machine!

Thanks for posting so many great ideas and ways to make them work.

I've been able to adapt quite a few of them for my own and other businesses.

Working on "bartering" a little court time at a local tennis club, currently.

You're quite right about the possibilities being "mind boggling".

Ron

[Glenn]

Thanks Ron,

Tennis Court Reservations are Like Hotel Rooms
or Tee Times.

Perfect for Barter Because Any Un-Used Time is GONE forever.

==========
One of my Mentors Grosses 20 million a year
with a Direct S-ales Company called "New Earth."

Barb Flies all over the USA and Canada giving presentations
and giving away Natural Energy Samples.

I've been eating ONE Product from the "New Earth" Catalog
for 26 years. And have been 100% Flu and Cold - Free.

So I Sent Barb The Following BARTER Case Study.
Which Costs ME Nothing.

But Which WILL VERY LIKELY allow her to Help 1000's of people
Energize themselves. And Improve Their Health. Like me.

And Make Barb Many 1000's - in return.

I'll Tell You THE REST of This INFORMATION Barter
Story in - PART II.

But 1st Here is The Case Study That Barb said, "WOW. Just Wow" to.

=============
=============
WAR DOG Peanut Butter Case Study -

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

P.S. - PART II - What Barb Sent Me Back.
