Read the directory. You may be familiar with how barter works but there is a lot of information in the directory that could directly increase your profits. Take the time to go over it!.

Check out the website, email blasts and newsletters often. Some unique items only are available for a short time or we may only have a limited supply. So often it is first come, first serve for some of the best products. Don’t be left out simply because you failed to read our mailings or check out our website.

Be patient with barter, good things come to those who are willing to wait. Ask us and we will try to find what you need. We will cajole existing members and look for new members. Nine times out of ten we will get you what you want, but you may have to wait.

Be flexible.  Barter will not always deliver exactly what you want. You must be willing to change vendors, try new ways to promote your business, or perhaps look into different options. Thus, barter will not only work for you but it will probably also may life more interesting and adventurous.

Be creative.  Creativity means you must be willing to look beyond the obvious. You must see new ways of doing things. Where you only gave cash bonuses to employees, you might find that trade can be an even more powerful motivation tool. Using trade to settle debt, close sales, or contribute to charity are just a few of the creative applications of barter.

Be quick.  While you must be willing to wait, you must also move quickly when something comes along that is not normally available on trade. Offers of boats, late model cars, desirable real estate and other attractive high-ticket items are usually sold on the same day they are offered. Those who do not respond quickly are often left sitting on the sidelines.

Think trade.  In the normal, every-day world you are always thinking about how you are going to increase sales to pull in more dollars. In the barter world the sell-side is easy. Now you need to expend the same kind of time and energy on how to use your dollars. You must think trade before spending cash. You must think trade all the time.
