These are some of my Generosity Experiments
In
no particular order. You'll have to read the book or invite
me to speak to learn the details and how they turned out.
1. Held a no fee contest to award $500
worth of my marketing services.
2. Held a no fee contest to award $1,000 worth of my
marketing services.
3. Held a promotion to pay what you can for my marketing
services.
4. Held a no fee contest to give away a fully furnished
mobile home.
5. Attempted to sell the mobile home for 1/5 of my purchase
price. Read the story: The Benefactor
6. Held a no fee contest to give away a 3 bedroom condo.
7. Held a no fee contest to give away a free, all expenses
paid presentation to any organization in North America.
8. Offered to travel anywhere in the US or Canada in my van
to do home economist/concierge/handywoman services or
provide a book in exchange for a place to park and some
electricity and water.
9. Held an auction to provide a year of column marketing to
the highest bidder and I would take the client's columns to
the editors' doors as I traveled across country.
10. Offered to let a well-known money guru make money from
one of my booklets.
11. Had an open house for real estate agents. Personally
invited 26 agents and offered them a larger commission and
bonus if they brought me a buyer.
12. Over coffee, asked my friend, a new real estate agent,
if my condo could be her first listing.
All these
tests are completed. I have no plan to duplicate them in
the foreseeable future.
