Five Habits of the Successful Trader
-
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 make 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 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 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.
