Why am I Bartering for a car? What is a USP and how can it help you? How can you squeeze every ounce of value from what you have? Here’s how I’m learning to doing it right now from a book called, "Getting All You Can Out Of All You've Got" by Jay Abraham

This week’s a look behind the scenes on what I’m working on and what I’m learning. From the current reading material and results from that, to how I made my USP w/ the help of chatGPT (including a link to the exact conversation I had to get there, so you can use the same process as well.)

I'm reading through the, "Getting All You Can Out Of All You've Got" book and had to stop yesterday lol

there are so many new ideas coming, I had to take a break and write about them, flesh 'em out a bit and digest before continuing on :-D


Result from book
My wife's been asking for a bigger couch and I've been reluctant to get one. she's prob been asking for more than 3 yrs :-D

​I decided that maybe I can do a barter for one by trading my programming skills or marketing knowledge in exchange.


To me that would kill 2 birds:

I found a local guy looking to get a car on craigslist through bartering his video marketing skills and he has done work for a local furniture company.

I offered to compliment his video skills with my programming skills that he can trade to get a new/used car of his choosing at a local auto dealer which I in exchange would get the introduction to the furniture store.

​Idk we'll see if he's up for it :-D

On the USP topic, I hadn't created one before but I worked with chatGPT to get ideas on which mental models / frameworks I could consider when creating one.


Process
That lead me to something called the "Unique Abilities Concept" which I've not heard of before. Then taking that and passing it through the SWOT analysis to identify where my strengths were and where my audience envisions the gaps in other providers of a similar type of solution. Here was my process in the chatGPT conversation: https://chat.openai.com/share/9fe0e503-e510-42d8-b595-b0f21dfb5eed

Near the beginning of the chat, I'm just trying to understand which lenses do people typically use to begin thinking through their situation objectively to start the process of generating ideas pointing towards their uniqueness.

Near the middle-end, I ask chatGPT for which questions I should be answering to help guide me toward my objective of creating a USP.
After some failed attempts, I was able to come up with a USP that I paired with the "Better Than Money Back" (BTMB) guarantee.


Here is my USP:
​"In a sea of endless DMs, we're the ones who get you a reply. Get your first 25 leads in 25 days or I'll give you 100 for free + a full refund"

I’ve had people asking about this! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

The goal of the book and all of the included bonuses is to ensure that there is never a problem you feel unprepared for when sending warm or cold messages to the people you want to serve.

I faced every challenge someone could along the last decade of cold messaging people through LinkedIn DMs

People questioning who I was, blocking me, I've even been marked as malware (and lived to see another day - actually got to the point where people started REQUESTING me to send the link :-D)

I'm confident that through the book and the included bonuses that you will get the responses you want from the people you go after.

Guarantee
I want to be sure you have 100% all you need when sending messages with the intent of getting responses.

So if for any reason, you do not get your first 25 leads in 25 days - I will give you 100 leads for free + a full refund.

Not only that but you keep all of the materials + the updates + the live and recorded training + and YESS! I will still send you the physical copy of the book.

I care more about your success with this than anyone and want to be sure you have all you need to make that happen.

If you want that too, here is the link to the pre-order page for the book: https://www.tylerlindell.com/beyond-code-book


What about your team?
I've got you! After you make the initial purchase, I'll even give you the opportunity to claim a copy of the book + the bonuses for each member of your whole team.

Don't sweat either, those are also covered by the guarantee!

​I'm excited to work with you if you choose to move forward with me.

So what was this week about?

dream bigger.

you have access and opportunity greater than you could ever imagine

If you have any needs in your life or business, think about something you have that another person might find helpful in their life or business, maybe you could be sitting on a virtually unlimited source of capital that you haven’t realized until now.

If you’re reading a book, look for ways to learn and implement those lessons any way you can. be sure to decrease the risk as much as you can along the way though.

Look for ways to barter, trade, and tap into your unlimited abilities and resources.

​If you are noticing that you aren’t getting the sales you want, look at creating your USP. This should always be a living statement. Make it, test it, refine.
