Default How I got Thrown Out of 3 NetWorking Events Then Met a MaryK Client

Merry Christmas Millard,

A Former Partner of mine, Mother of The FuzzBuster Radar Detector, Serial Entrepreneur has a Strategy I Like.

Judy Says, "When I Enter a Room I Try to SCARE the Hell out Folks. The One
who DOES NOT SCARE and Comes over GRINNING to Shake my Hand. THAT is The Prospect I'm lookin for."

Here is how I got THROWN OUT of A Chamber of a Commerce Group, a Lions Club and a Toastmasters Group.

Well.

Each Networking Host Came up to me at the Back of the Room. And "Politely" ASKED Me not to Come Back.

Here is how/why I Try to SCARE Folks at Networking Events.

FIRST THING At These Things - You Go around the room. Introduce Yourself.

So when It's my turn.

I stand Up - Blue Suit. Red CHAINMAIL TIE. Run my Metal Pen Up and Down The
Tie. And Say LOUDLY. "Howdy. My name is Glenn Osborn. What I do is
Interview Self Made Millionaires All over The World. Adapt and Combine Proven
7 Figure Ideas FOR YOU. If You Wanna Make a Bunch of Money without Any Work
- Becuz I DO IT all FOR You. Come See Me."

AFTER The Meeting.

AFTER People AVOID me Like I am RADIOACTIVE.

The Host TipToes over and says, "I Started this "Chamber, Lions Club Etc to Find
Clients for My Business. NOT YOURS. Please don't come Back."

***THE GUY WHO RAN The Toastmasters Club
In Maryland was a Stickler for Following TOASTMASTER CLUB RULES.

So He Says, "Ok. Everybody Gets 3 Minutes to Talk About President Obama's
Policy on _________."

(In My Opinion - VERY STUPID to Talk Politics or Religion.)

So my turn Came.

I Stood up and Said, "Instead of Talking about Politics I want to Talk about This
HUGE BLACK Spider I Found on My Window This Morning. And the Tiny Spider
Behind My Soap Dish in The Bathroom...

Nervous LAUGHTER....in the room.

The skinny little Host Came over and Asked me to Not Come Back.

ALL
100% Ok with me.

Because I Didn't Find A Single ENTREPRENEUR in The Above Groups.

I DID Like The looks of a Lady
Running a BNI Group - However.

Janets BNI Group Met in a Restaurant Banquet Room.

I Used the "$-Fan, Lotto Tickets & Wgt Loss SunGlasses" (The Most Incredible TIP Strategy I have EVER Discovered) to tip the Waitress all thru The Lunch meeting.

This ATTRACTED the Attention of the Band Box Attractive MARY K meeting Host. We met later. Found out her #1 Distributor was a Lady Minister. And She Was Doing Free "Dress for Success" Workshops at a local School.

We Did Some Business.

I Introduced her to a Photographer who was Taking Class Photos for Local
Schools. And She Was Able to Get Into a TON More Schools.

Girls PANIC right Before the Class and Yearbook Photos.

The PHOTOG was Happy Happy Happy for the Help.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default BNI Networking

Thanks for the stories Glenn.

Seems like the folks asking you not to come back were threatened by your offer to help the other business owners make money. Additionally, the host was telegraphing the fact that the referral process wasn't making money for the members, hence your threat.

I like the fact that your tipping caught the attention of the Mary K dealer.... this is far more effective than doing the tipping at a regular restaurant it seems.

Having someone join a BNI group to help the members make money would seem like a no-brainer unless the host is brain-dead.

Default Incredible Tip Strategy

Thanks, Glenn !

You mentioned in your post about the most incredible tip strategy while mentioning the $Fan and Lotto tickets, along with the weight loss sunglasses.

I noticed in your post your picture of the weight loss sunglasses. Are the sunglasses just an extra push when tipping or is the combination of ALL three items that produce the extra incredible tip strategy?

Already, you've given away the store. It's hard to image that there is something even more incredible than what you have already shared.

Keep up the good work !

Default Jay Leno Buys Vintage Cars Based on Their STORY. Same w/Wgt Loss SunGlasses

Thanks Millard,

Jay Bought the BatMobile (And Lots of Other Cars) Cuz of

***the Story***.

When I Wear a PINK or Purple or Black ChainMail Tie - I Tell People

***A STORY***.

(A Client takes Adventure Vacations. While Taking Photos of Polar Bears. He Noticed the DRIVER wearing a Chain Maile Tie. My ChainMail Tie Maker is from ALASKA.

SAME thing with The Wgt Loss SunGlasses.

***The STORY*** Makes The Glue Glasses EXCITING)

I Just Ran out and Handed The UPS Driver a LOTTO Ticket and Thanked Him. WHILE HE WAS DELIVERING to a Neighbor. Not me.

WEIRD RESULTS -

Not only do I Get MY Packages Delivered to my door. Instead of Tossed out by the mailbox in the rain. But I am Getting Packages AND Mail Delivered to ME Instead of 3 Neighbors.

Anyway.

2 Weeks Ago - I Gave UPS DRIVER a Choice.

"Which do you want as a Thank You Reward" A Lotto ticket. OR a Pair of "Wgt Loss SunGlasses."

***THE STORY***

"CRAZY Japanese Company says, "Blue Not Found in Nature. Except for BlueBerries.
So BLUE FOOD Shocks Your Brain.
Blue Food is UGLY.
You Eat Less.
You Lose Wgt.

TWO WEEKS LATER - (When I ran out to give him a Lotto Ticket. The UPS Driver Held Up His BLUE SUNGLASSES!)

He is Running in and out of Peoples Yards. Telling people THE STORY. And Wearing my "Wgt Loss SunGlasses!!!

========
We Adapted This Idea From Our "Billionaire Watching Club"

ANDREW CARNEGIE COMPETITION.

I teach my Clients to Invite a Prospect to Lunch.

You Thank Reward The Waiter/Waitress with Lotto tickets and Wgt Loss SunGlasses. And Let them FEEL THE FUN.

SO Much Fun.

INVISIBLE COMPETITION - Creates Fantastic Service,
3,4,5,6 Waitresses,
Nearby Patrons come over and Chat.
The cooks,
The Manager,
The owner Come over to Say, "THANKS."

Clients Buy More.

Prospects Buy You Lunch. And Buy Your Stuff.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - The Effects STACK UP. So the More Times You Eat at the same Restaurant.
The Bigger The EFFECT.
