JunkYard Barter Story -

When I owned a junkyard I would get a steady stream of junk cars from some of
the best sources. Places like auto repair shops, stock car racers, shade tree
mechanics and even other junkyards.

The trick was to let them have any parts they wanted for free.

They were stunned that I would do that for them.

Most junkyard owners give away NOTHING, not to mention their hostile attitude.

My customers put a huge value on the free parts but I would usually end up
selling most of that stuff as scrap for a few cents a pound anyway, so not much
out of pocket for me to give it away.

The result?

The input from this alone was easily a third to a half of my incoming material and
a major source of word of mouth referrals to other prime supply sources.

---------------------------------------
Go ahead and use that any way you want. Same deal as usual, use my name or
not, whatever suits you.

Dave

Default How Arby's Restaurant Co-Founder Used Barter to BUMP Alcohol Sales 27%

Thanks Dien,

Got Referred to the Co-Founder of Arby's Restaurants.

While Swapping Restaurant Stories he told me
How He Used a WEIRD Barter Tactic at one of his personally owned Restaurants.

A - Robert had an empty back room.

B - So He Opened a Beauty Parlor.

C - Window signs, Menu Insert, Website offer, Table Top Display said,

"IF you call ahead and Reserve a Table for Lunch or Dinner on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday -

You get F-r-e-e Beauty Parlor Services - Hair and Manicures and Pedicures...

While you wait for your Reservation time.

=====
The Result of Bartering F-r-e-e Beauty Parlor Treatments
to Fill his Restaurant Seats on SLOW DAYS?

Robert says - Groups of women would show up.

Talk and swap gossip while DRINKING.

His hi-margin Alcohol Sales went up by 27%.

Down-Side -

Robert said he had to Barter with Cabbies -
by providing their wives and girlfriends F-r-e-e Pedicures
and manicures - for Being ON CALL to take the Inebriated women home.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default How A Black Opps Para-Trooper Bartered With a General

Thanks Dien,

While swapping Barter Stories with - Wadley - a Retired Black Opps Soldier
he told me THIS ONE.

His Team Jumps out of airplanes - all over the world -
to set up airstrips so the Marines can land.

(A Little Insight into why we are so LUVVED all over the world.)

Wadley and his team get sent to South Korea
cuz a General has a Brilliant idea.

Fly Wadley and his team a couple Miles into North Korea. Throw them out
above the Atmosphere in Oxygen Masks. (Which they do all the time.) Then
have them Para-sail Back to the South Korea Border.

WHY?

So they can POKE AT And Stop-watch TIME How Long it takes the North Koreans
to Scramble their Fighter Jets to try and Machine Gun Wadley and his pals out of
the air.

BEFORE they can para-sail back behind South Korean lines.

Wadley always jumps First. Bright light on his helmet the his team follow
down. And he has the Portable GPS equipment so he knows which way to parachute to safety.

WADLEY and his Team WERE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
about the GENERALS Idea.

So Wadley sent a Request up the Chain of Command...

I - Fly our wives and girlfriends from the USA to Live.

II - Free House Big Enough for the entire team.

III - Open Ended Credit Card to use at the Base PX.

THE
GENERAL
Said, "HELL NO - You will do what I say or I'll Throw you in the stockade on Bread
and water."

Here's how Wadley Negotiated his BARTER DEAL with the General...

I - Wadley pulled a GUN on the pilot. Who "Mistakenly" opened the airplane
doors early - and the team JUMPED before they got to the N. Korean line.

II - The Generals Response? He Posted Armed Guards on the plane - for Security.
But their guns just happened to be Aimed at Wadley.

III - Wadley and his men Did Some SECRET JUMP Practice. Where they Practiced
FREE FALLING Very very fast. So the team could get Back to S. Korean ground
FAST before the Jets could be Scrambled.

You've Seen it done in Movies. But it gets Tricky Up where their is no Oxygen.

IV - The General WAS NOT HAPPY. But he couldn't find anybody to Hold
Guns on Wadley while falling from 20,000 Feet up.

So Wadley Successfully BARTERED for all his "Perks."

Wadley REPORTS that - The Wives and Girl friends were Ecstatic too. Cuz they used the F-r-e-e Stuff from the PX to Barter for Maid Service. And almost anything they wanted
at local S. Korean stores.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

Default How Judith Makes 500K A Project By Bartering w/Doctors

Thanks Gordon,

I met Judith on a Shuttle Bus on the way to a 25K event.

Drug Companies Are IDIOTS when it comes to Finding out which new Drug
Doctors want to Buy - so they don't spend a billion dollars on a Loser.

This is Why They Pay Judith 400K to 800K
per research Project for each new Drug they want to Test.

Judith told me how She uses BARTER
to get 1000 Medical Doctors and Surgeons
to fill out a 10 page Survey. (Which info she then S-ells to Pharmaceutical co.)

I - Judith Reserves a room at the Biggest Medical Convention She can find.

II - Judith Goes Direct to a factory in China. Private produces Little Dolls
that look Exactly like - The Current Disney CRAZE - Movie Princess.

The Little Mermaid
Ella and Anna - of "Frozen"

III - She rents a Tiny booth at the back of the Huge convention floor.

IV - Hires Kids - (And Spot Checks) To Slip a Flyer - containing a Convention Floor
Map with an X for her Booth And The Offer of a F-r-e-e Ella or Anna Doll

Under the doors of 5 of the biggest hotel Doors.

V - Her Flyer Actually says,

"When you Get Home and Your Kids Say
"Mommy, Daddy - what did you Bring me? --

...Here's what you Can Show them. All we ask
in Return is that you fill out a Questionnaire."

Brilliant Barter Application,
Glenn

P.S. - Judith Also Barters her "Frozen Dolls" for 1st Class Seats on Airplanes.
Because the Airline employees have kids too.

Default How I Barter E-Books & Mp3 Products for Jewelry

Thanks Gordon,

How I Bartered a 9,138.79 Mp3
for 10 Gold Jewelry Chokers
And 2 Roped Gold Bracelets

Hi,

So Here's what I told the Owner
of the Gold Jewelry website.

So he would BARTER a
6 Hr Mp3 Audio Program
for 12 Pieces of GOLD Jewelry.

You Tell the Truth
but You Gotta Build Up
The VALUE of what you have Quickly.

We said -

I - I paid my 426 Mil Mentor
Walter Hailey 44,000.00
for a 4 Question NLP Script
that grossed Walter 2 Billion dollars.

II - Walter personally sold
1/2 billion of insurance
with these 4 Conversational
Trance Questions.

III - Walter Used this Same
Script to start, build, take public
and sell 4 companies grossing several
billion dollars in sales.

IV - We Routinely Help Telemarketers
and Sales people and Recently fired
Folks ADAPT These 4 "ENCHANTED NLP"
Questions and they Break SALES Records.

V - Walters Invisible 4 Questions are so
Incredible that we offer a 365 day 100%
No Strings Munny Back Guarantee
to our Buyers and Clients.

VI - Downside - is I have to WARN Folks
when they make MORE than their
Sales manager - they can Expect to
be Fired. Or Mis-treated. Territory reduced.

VII - UP-SIDE - none of their Jealous
Bosses Can STEAL The "Enchanted NLP
From The Big Red Nose Club" Sales
Script - Because it is Totally INVISIBLE.

VIII - As The RingMaster at Our
**Billionaire Watching Club** I Often
Reveal Specific Self Made Billionaires
Using Similar Covert NLP Systems
to take our munny. In Movies, Books,
Info-mercials. J.K. Rowling is one.

"Anyway.

"After I looked thru your Jewelry
website - here are the 2 Designs
I want. How many of each do you
have?

This is how we use 1-of-a-kind
Information Products
to BARTER for Physical Stuff
Like Jewelry.

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

I gotta say, I think you're one of the smartest info-product providers out there...

Back when you could still sell ebooks on eBay (which they don't allow any more now), people were selling ebooks for $1, $2, maybe at most $5. And I saw with my own eyes... Glenn was selling his ebooks by auction for literally hundreds of dollars each...

I have no doubt they were (and are) worth every penny. Yet, why was Glenn able to do this with ebooks on eBay - and nobody else could? Not even the "big guru" marketers?

The answer to that is why I pay attention to all of Glenn's teachings...!

Thanks Glenn for sharing!

Best wishes,

Dien

Thanks Glenn,

Fascinating story! It shows that there's "barter" everywhere...

One thing which is good to keep in mind is with "deal-making" - everything can be "on the table"...

It's not always just about dollars and cents! In fact, the best deal makers know that sometimes, it's something "extra" that can clinch the deal... Which may not even cost a lot of money to provide, if anything at all...

By the way, I spent some time in South Korea a few years ago. The area within Seoul where the US military base is located is called Itaewon, and it's the main area where there are a lot of "foreign" establishments, so it's probably the best place to get foreign food in Korea. In Itaewon, you see a lot of US soldiers walking around when they are walking around off base. I couldn't get on the base (as I'm not US military), but people who had been there told me that being on the base is pretty much like being in the USA... With the most popular fast food outlets, etc., that you can find in the USA.

Best wishes!

Dien

Thanks for sharing that, Glenn!

First, I have to say... Glenn, I think your stuff is genius!

(And of course, some of the great stuff from your customers too... Like Dave above...)

On the above idea, my "takeaway" is... When you "overdeliver" - people return the favor. And they love you... and will in effect be "partners" with you in helping to make you a success! (As Dave found with his junkyard...)

A multi-millionaire I know also does something similar. I've noticed, he always "overdelivers" with his customers. He even tries to help them through any business problems they have, for free! (As all the customers for his products are other businesses...) And in return... they love him, and are extremely loyal. He "wins" in the end, too.

Thank you for sharing that true story, Glenn!

I strongly recommend you subscribe to Glenn's email list... It's one of the few email lists I'm on which I read regularly, because every email is bursting with great stuff...

I think you can subscribe here...

You won't regret it. (I know I haven't...!)

Best wishes,

Default Why A Huge chunk of Total Profits In The JunkYard Came from Barter

Thanks Dien,

Dave just sent me more detail.

He figures in the 1980's when he ran his Junk Yard - Barter made up 15K
a year of his profits.

========

How Barter Made The Brutal
Hard Work at The Junk Yard
HIGHLY Profitable & Even Fun

We'll let Dave tell you about it.

"Some of my friends were traveling salesmen visiting
industrial or automotive businesses.

"These guys would "bird dog" for me, which is to say, recommend me to any business owner
who wanted something that they considered junk removed.

"These salesmen were deep into cars in one way or another, usually racing,
so naturally they got the same "come and get it" deal - from me - whenever they wanted anything.

"I would give them ANYTHING they wanted - from the junk yard - with a big smile and no questions asked.

"These guys, while doing their sales routes, got to go where no one off the street could ever go.

"Time after time they found spectacular deals for me.

"Often free to me to get the stuff.

"Thanks,
"Dave
