Day 175: Threesomes and Rubber Gloves

Surprisingly Wifey didn’t find my joke about piling up the dishes on Mothers Day very funny HA HA HA

Whoops.

Yesterday we were talking about how your ‘inputs’ do not necessarily equal your ‘outputs’.

Speaking of outputs…

How come everyone that hated plastic straws three months ago….

Suddenly love rubber gloves?  

Asking for a friend.

Anyhoo…

Your ONE COACHING THING Today Is:

“Barter”

In the words of my Father… ‘If you can’t get a full meal grab a sandwich.’

There are some hard times ahead for many business owners and the ones able to think outside the box will be the ones that survive and ultimately thrive.

A seldom-used but incredibly powerful technique is bartering…. And barter tends to flourish during tough economic times when cash is low.

When I started an advertising company in my late teens, I used to trade ads for pasta (yes, as in dinner LOL), car repairs and one of my favorites was an exchange for a futon bed.

I didn’t even know what I was doing but apparently I was into bartering before it was really a thing.

This technique can increase your purchasing power dramatically… here are some tricks I’ve learned over the years when setting up barter deals: 

• Don’t create time limits… part of the appeal is they can get to it when they can get to it (like gift cards… that’s often, never).
• Go to your ideal clients and offer a direct trade of goods and services. Always offer retail value and not “at cost” value. Example: as a business coach you can receive digital marketing services in exchange for your high-end coaching services.
• Like sports trading… be open to a ‘three-way’ (get your mind out of the gutter, weirdo!) where third-party goods and services can be involved.  Example: a business coach, accountant, and a digital marketer do a three-way swap.
• The creativity will impress your prospects even if the deal doesn’t come together.
• The tax savings here will blow your mind.

Barter Management

New apps and software allow for much easier barter management. These technologies have opened the door for a thriving barter marketplace.

Encourage your clients to do the same to increase sales and value to their clients.

You heard it here first.
