Barter is a time-tested concept. It has survived years of varying economy’s and costs of living. Anyone can barter – no college degree is required to trade goods or services and preserve cash flow! That’s just smart! Thinking outside the box and seeing the value of barter to your business is essential to every business. Think back to when you were a young child…for instance a young boy trading baseball cards. A sense of fairness was a key theme in the trading of cards. You sure wanted a good trade for your Joe DiMaggio card! It’s the same concept except instead of baseball cards, it’s your goods or services.
A college degree isn’t needed to know that every transaction is a trade…typically it has always been a trade of merchandise for cash. In a barter exchange your trades are not strictly between 2 parties as they hold a value on account with the trade exchange. If a plumber trades for your services, you can spend those trade dollars on a painter if that is what you need. You don’t have to have any plumbing work- especially if it’s not needed. The beauty of the exchange is that you can still move inventory and not absorbed the cost as the product ages
So, consider being a part of the barter industry and reap the rewards yourself. Contact Tom McDowell to learn from an industry leader. Take advantage of his Barter Trainer Program and Barter Solutions software.
