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

Glenn,

BannedBarter.com is shaping up nicely.

Thanks for posting my Barter Story there...

"BLOGGER LOSES 90 POUNDS BARTERING LICENSED CONTENT"

The experience showed me how closely my business needs to be part "hobby" for me if I'm going to get those disproportionate results the 80/20 books you recommend talk about!

Thanks again.

Chuck

Default How Randy Bartered for ROASTED RAT in a Mexican Jail

Thanks Chuck,

Here is a "Food Related" Barter story.

I'd been calling My friend Randy in Texas for a couple weeks
before he answered and told me where he'd been.

Randy did two tours in Iraq.

Got sprayed with Agent Orange - Got Cancer.

He was gone two weeks because he'd travelled to Mexico for a Drug Trial.
While smoking Marijuana outside the clinic
to ease the nausea - the local Cops Arrested him.

And locked him up in their dirt floor jail until he
Could bribe his way f-r-e-e. Because "All Americanos are Rich."

Randy had spent all his munny
on the Drug Trial.

AND he and his fellow prisoners were not fed often. And not enough. So
they caught RATS and dug a pit in the dirt. Cut out the Entrails and Roasted
the rest of the rat and ATE them.

Randy was Starving when he hit upon a CRAZY Method
to Win the Respect of the others in Prison. And be FIRST in Line for Roasted Rat.

I - Randy was Trained as a Black Opps Soldier.

II - And he was only 5 foot 8 inches tall.

III - So he hid behind the other Prisoners and Whenever a Prison Guard
came to the door to Add a Prisoner or Take one Away...

Randy jumped out from hiding - and beat the Guards up. Being careful - He
told me - not to kill anybody.

IV - Randy became An INSTANT HERO to the other Prisoners. And was given
a name.

"Americano Loco." (The Crazy American.)

V - The GOOD NEWS - All of the Prisoners pushed Randy to the front of the line
to get the First and biggest piece of Roasted Rat.

THE DOWN-SIDE.

After beating up 1 or 2 or 3 Prison Guards. They came back IN FORCE with Guns
and tied Randy to a bench. And Bastinadoed his feet with police batons.

This went on day after day for two weeks
Until Randy was able to Yell his name to 2 College Kids
whose parents BRIBED their way out - as they passed his cell.

And told them to Tell them "Randy _______ US Soldier - Tell the American Embassy I'm here."

That same day 20 Heavily Armed Marines Visited the Prison
and Got Randy out.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default How We're Bartering to Get Hired By a Window Installer

Thanks Gordon,

A few questions Uncovered One Fact.
Two actually.

I - The man is spending Lots of munny on Yellow Page
ads and other marketing he does not track or measure.

II - Most of this man's business is coming from a Sandwich Board sign
sitting in front of his store on a busy sidewalk.

So We are Bartering ideas
To Persuade him to Shift That YP munny to us.

SUGGESTIONS -

I - IF You Will Agree to Track the # of Folks who come into your Window
showroom - each day - week. Just PUT a Blank page by the phone - so a staffer
can write it down - then.

NO CHARGE - I'll tell you how Changing What Your Employees Wear
will boost sales by 20% - Proven in 3700 retail stores.

II - IF you have your 6 employees ASK callers,
"How did you hear about us?" - and write down the answers.

NO CHARGE - We'll share an idea from a 23 million mentor - Who Set Up
a Way to get Prospects to Call him On his cell phone - IN HIS CAR.

III - IF My Guess Is Correct and You Find Out NONE of your customers
come off of your Yellow Page ads...

Would You Use the Yellow Page Munny to Hire me to Create A
Website that Gets You New Customer Leads...?

IV - IF You Measure and Track the # of Prospects who come in because
of the Sandwich Board sign AND the %age who buy...

We will Show you how the F-r-e-e Report for the Website
ALSO Guarantees the Prospects Who Come In Cuz of the Sign
outside that you give Price Quotes to...

Almost NEVER Buy
from a cheaper
competitor.

IN FACT - I guarantee you can hand the prospect the phone. And a list
of Cheaper competitors to call. And they will STILL Hire you.

IV - As Your Marketing Consultant - We Might Show you a proven system
(Which had doubled the In-comes of Window Installers, Plumbers and other
Home Related Contractors) that You can use While Ski-ing at the nearby
Resort - to get Total Strangers
to come up to you and PAY YOU for New Insulated Windows this winter.

V - As Your Consultant - We Can Adapt an idea used by an Aussie
truck driver - who uses his pick-up to move a Sandwich board sign
from Retail store to retail store. Guaranteed to Beat what you do now.

VI - As Your consultant - We'd like to Share a 2 b-illion d-ollar Referral idea
to Ethically Blackmail Your Top Suppliers into REFERRING you Clients Equal to or Better than your top 3 clients.

Before We Continue.

A Question to Help us FOCUS on which ideas
You LIKE BEST and Want to Take Action on...

Will You Please Rank the above ideas in The Order in
Which You want Us to Apply and Adapt them for you?

Thanks,
Glenn

Default How a Janitorial Co Owner Got Barter Bribed by a Consultant

Thanks Gordon,

By Asking a few questions you can often FIND OUT enough
to Barter Bribe a prospect into paying you.

Here's an example...

I - The Consultant discovered a large Janitorial co -in Seattle- that ordered
paper towels and toilet paper by the Railroad car for several large clients.

II - Alan called the managers of three local hi-rise buildings
then sent them a one page email explaining how he was squandering
1000's by hiring a cheap cleaning service who works out of his car
and buys paper towels and toilet paper at Wal-mart - full Retail.

III - Alan then turned over 72,000 a year in extra paper product orders to
his janitorial client prospect.

IV - And showed him how to find hundreds MORE by using SIC Codes.

BOOM.

"Your Hired. Do that again."

Thanks,
Glenn

Default How to Barter LOTTO Ticket Thank You Rewards for F_R_E_E Food

Thanks Gordon,

Denny told me what happened when he went shopping yesterday.

He goes in to stock up on food
at 10 pm.

Only one Cash Register open.
Manned by A heavy set young black guy named Jimmy.

Denny says, "Wow you have a famous Name.

"Jimmy Buffet, Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Falon. Here's a Thank you Reward
TIP for helping me Check out."

And he hands Jimmy a LOTTO ticket.

They chit chat back and forth.

Denny takes his shopping cart full of bags of food out to the car. Starts loading up the front seat.

Glances up and here comes Jimmy
waddling across the parking lot.

He'd forgotten his Strawberry ice-cream.

Denny THANKS Jimmy.

Gets home.

In the bag with the IceCream he finds a Swordfish steak - with a 13.00 label on it.

AND

A Sirloin Steak with a 13.00 p-rice tag on it.

So.

Denny Bartered a 1.00 LOTTO ticket And a Friendly Chat Where he Made
Jimmy FEEL GOOD by comparing him to Famous Folks with the SAME
first name to get an Extra 26.00 in food supplies he doesn't have to buy.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default How Ben Used BARTER to Get a BILLIONAIRE To Come To His Event

Thanks Dien,

I'm getting this BARTER story second hand.

And don't want to ruffle any feathers.

So I'll change all names and locations.

What is IMPORTANT is the Barter concept
behind this success story.

We've done similar things with clients to Attract SUPER STARS and Super
Affluent Folks to Seminars...

And Watched Mentors do it.
Feature a Billionaire in order to fill seats.

HOWEVER
we
know
You CANNOT P-A-Y a Self made Billionaire to show up at your Program.

Who could Afford to do that
anyway? And what would you say, "Mr Billionaire I'll pay you 10 million to attend
my up-coming seminar and speak."

No seminar is going to PAY you enough to be able to AFFORD that.

INSTEAD
You BARTER for their Presence.

I - The Super Affluent all have a Favorite Charity they raise funds for.

So IF your Event Donates a %age of Back of room sales
or Total Funds Raised to Mr Billionaires Charity - He Will Often Show Up.

I've watched this done at Events
we've attended.

II - Just Suppose you can fill a room with young Affluent Entrepreneurs
who would benefit from The Advice from Mr Billionaire - That Sometimes Works
to get the VIP to Attend - in my Experience.

We got an Hour on the phone with Two Different self made
billionaires using this form of Barter.

III - It's Very Flattering (Because few do it) to any Self Made Super Rich person
if you study their many businesses and investments. Then Show Links to
fast rising small businesses and their owners - who will be at your event.

A - Mr Billionaire will WANT to meet New Kids who may Challenge or Change
the Industry he is investing in.

B - Mr Billionaire May want to Joint Venture or invest in rapidly rising
New Biz.

C - Mr Billionaire WILL ENJOY talking to lots of young folks who SPEAK the
same "ANYTHING-is-Possible-Lingo" he does. (After fighting with attorneys and
red tape and bureaucrats all day.)

But here's what We Think Ben Did and said...To Get A Self Made Billionaire Guest
to show up at his Mastermind Event.

We think Ben said, "I've got 81 Self made millionaires showing up at my big
Mastermind Referral Event. I'd Luv to Pay Your Airfare, Hotel suite costs and Show You dr to dr VIP LIMO Service and personally introduce you to the Young Turks who are Driving Growth in Your areas of investment interest."

Why do we know a BIG PART of what Ben BARTERED
to Get Mr Billionaire to attend?

Because the #1 WORRY that keeps The Affluent Awake at night
TOSSING
and
TURNING in Bed
is the FEAR that they will be hit Unaware by a NEW PARADIGM Shift in
their industry.

Totally DESTROYED.

Bankrupted.

SMASHED FLAT as a Pancake.

You say Self Made Billionaires are SAFE from this?

HA!

Richard Branson had a world-wide chain of Virgin Music Stores Valued at over a
B-illion d-ollars that were BANKRUPTED literally in a few months -- when Steve Jobs opened his On-Line Music App Store.

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

Thanks - another ingenious post!

In my own dealings with some quite rich people... For many of them (who have got it made), it's refreshing for them to deal with young up-and-comers with a real entrepreneurial mindset, and to share some of their wisdom... But one thing is, you HAVE to respect their time, because their time is precious. Don't waste their time.

And you're right! These people often have investment interests, outside of their main company... As well as charity interests too...

You can't "buy" your way into their attention and interest by offering them dollars directly, but there are often other ways...

Thanks Glenn... I love your insights!

Best wishes,

Dien

Default How We BARTERED for a New 2100.00/27 inch IMac Computer

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

Default How to BARTER for More Munny w/A Seth Godin Idea

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...

http://archive.enchantednlp.com/ezine.php?issueno=2965

===========
===========
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
