I find that most Tradebank clients understand the basic concept of barter… generate new sales, conserve cash and capitalize on unused capacity. However, where some clients fall short is in their recognition of the many opportunities Tradebank offers to leverage their trading opportunities to expand and build their business. The process of recognizing these opportunities is unique to every business. The only impediment to capitalizing on them is your own preconceived notions of trading.

I recommend you take a strategic and broad based approach to trading. Go through the Tradebank client directory and promotional pieces you receive and ask yourself, “How can I incorporate what this Tradebank client offers to improve my business or enhance my lifestyle?”

I want to point out, that question is very different than the traditional question, “Do I want what this client offers?” The first question invites new ideas and opportunities. The second question keeps you stuck inside the box. The advantage of being part of Tradebank is the ability to be introduced to new ideas, new people and new ways to build your business. I encourage you to be open to how your business relates with the other Tradebank clients and those in their circle of influence to maximize your Tradebank experience.

Marcy S. Yaffe is the National Trade and Training Director of Tradebank International. She has over 25 years experience brokering barter transactions.

I suggested he go ahead and purchase the shirts and then promote custom embroidered polos rather than just plain polos to his customers. I reminded him we have clients across the country who offer embroidery services through Tradebank. He could use a Tradebank client to do the embroidery on the shirts and be able to save the cash expense of having to go to a cash supplier, which would reduce his cash cost of goods. When he paid for the embroidery in Tradebank Dollars rather than cash, he also increased his cash profits on each shirt.

It’s a win/win/win. He is able to save money by participating in the quantity discount being offered by his supplier, use his Tradebank Dollars to increase the value of each shirt and offer a special promotion to his customers which will increase his cash flow which then allows him to accept additional Tradebank orders.

This is just one example of the strategic ways each Tradebank client can utilize our vast trading network to build your business while increasing the value of your products and services, your profit margin and ultimately improve your bottom line.

The common denominator with every successful person I have ever met has been their willingness to consider new ideas. One of the attractions to participating in the Tradebank network is it is a never ending source of new ideas. Tradebank offers unlimited opportunities to sell your products and services and to make purchases using Tradebank Dollars as payment.

A recent telephone conversation I had with a long time Tradebank client reinforced this fact. The gentleman I was speaking with is in the promotional products business. Everything he sells is a custom order through a third-party and requires an out of pocket cash cost. He loves Tradebank and accepts Tradebank as payment up to the maximum limit his cash flow permits. In the course of our conversation, he told me one of his suppliers had an excess inventory of polo shirts the supplier was offering at a greatly reduced price. Our Tradebank client wasn’t sure where he could sell the plain shirts since everything he sold was customized through his suppliers.

Deanna Spencer is the Tradebank Broker for Tradebank of Columbus MY: Deanna you have been the Tradebank Broker in the Columbus region since September 2009. You came into an established Tradebank region as a new face and needed to get to know the existing Tradebank clients and help them understand the unlimited trading potential available to them. I am proud to say the work you have done is commendable. You and Teresa Holley, as the Sales Agent, have “jump started” the region with new members and trading opportunities. You’re respected by the Columbus business community for your professionalism and dedication to help grow their businesses. What opportunities do you see that clients in Columbus and across the Tradebank network can utilize to expand their business?

DS: It’s been said repeatedly, but I have to say it again, communication with your Tradebank Broker is key to successful trading. I want to work with clients to increase their trading opportunities. In that way we are partners. I can’t do it alone. I need our client’s involvement in so many ways.

Understand the advantages that Tradebank has to offer and what a vital business tool Tradebank is for growing your business and increasing your bottom line. By being a part of Tradebank, you attract new customers and when you provide quality service at a fair price to Tradebank clients they, in turn, will refer new cash business to you. Stay in contact with your Tradebank Broker by phone and emails and let them get to know you on a professional level as well as on a ‘first name basis’. Not only can we find opportunities to increase revenue for your business, we can also call with a friendly reminder to stop by the florist when you have forgotten your anniversary. Word of mouth is one of the most powerful tools in advertising so maintaining high trading standards is a must. Unfair pricing and trade practices will not only ruin your reputation in the trade community but in the cash sector as well. Trading will never replace cash nor is everything available on trade, so by staying in contact with your local Tradebank office you maximize the benefits that trading has to offer. Tradebank is like life, you get out of it what you put onto it. I always encourage my clients to log on to their Tradebank account, check their emails and attend Tradebank functions. Proactive traders are successful traders!

Ross Porter, Regional Owner of Tradebank of Denver teamed with Tradebank client John Lynch and purchased the Colorado Springs region in order to expand the trading opportunities for clients in Denver and throughout Tradebank.

Porter’s fantastic accomplishments in building Tradebank of Denver was his motivation for expansion. “Since purchasing the Tradebank of Denver region last summer, we have been overwhelmingly accepted by the local business community. Experienced traders have embraced the opportunity to be part of Tradebank based on the integrity of the organization and clients both locally and across the Tradebank network. Those business owners new to barter have also recognized how Tradebank can increase their sales, increase cash flow and improve their profitability. Our numbers reflect this tremendous growth. New account sales are up phenomenally this year alone,” states Porter.

“We have set goals for the state of Colorado. We plan to add over 200 new businesses in the Colorado Springs region by the end of 2010. In addition, we hope to see the Denver client base double by the end of

the year. That translates to infinite trading opportunities for our clients,” Porter projects, “I am excited to be partners with John Lynch. John has formed a strong customer base through years and brings all his personal relationships that have been formed through his business, Uview Media, with him to Tradebank of Colorado Springs. There is a strong trust that exists between John and his advertisers, and that trust factor is important to continue our successes.”

“We will have a strong management presence in Colorado Springs on a regular basis,” stated Lynch who believes that is a key differentiator among competitors. “It’s something Colorado Springs has needed for a long time. We’re focused on growing barter in Colorado Springs and building synergy with businesses in Denver and the thousands of other members in our network.” Lynch and Porter will be working with Tradebank Broker Jenni Porter. “I look forward to working with my fellow brokers throughout the nation to help each region become stronger in travel, advertising, and inter-regional trading. We have a great group of Tradebank Brokers

who truly want to help one another and I believe this really sets us apart from other trade organizations. I am so encouraged by the technology side of Tradebank as well. Valerie Hale, Vice President of Operations, answered many of my questions at the 2010 Broker’s Convention regarding myTradebank. In addition, Tradebank is developing online stores that will feature goods and services Tradebank clients have to offer for purchase through the Tradebank website.” “The stronger we get in each region, the stronger Tradebank becomes and our clients benefit from the trading synergy. As a team, we will strive to make Tradebank the flagship of the West,” says Porter.

How to Be A Prolific Trader

Every successful Trader throughout the ages will tell you their trading success correlates to their willingness to be open to new ideas and cultivate trading relationships both as a buyer and a seller. They recognize and appreciate the benefits trading offers as the means to increase their exposure in the marketplace, improve their bottom line and enhance their lifestyle and that of those around them. Because of the high value successful traders place

on these goals they are willing to endure occasional bumps in the road without losing sight of the big picture and their overall objectives.

Let me give you examples:

Client A says they are too busy to read the Tradeflashes and says that they are “all set” when their Tradebank Broker reaches out and asks about upcoming projects and plans. Client A becomes disillusioned

with trading when they can’t get exactly what they want, how and when they want it. Over time, Client A thinks they have “too many Tradebank

Dollars” with no place to spend, stops trading and wonders why others think Tradebank is such an important and profitable part of their business.

Client B is just as busy as client A, but recognizes that every time they are able to make a purchase with Tradebank Dollars they are saving cash; they

want all the information they can get regarding trading opportunities. They look for ways to incorporate what is being offered into their business and personal life. Client B

knows that every sale they make through Tradebank represents additional revenue not only from the Tradebank clients who will pay with Tradebank Dollars, but also from the new contacts

they make through word of mouth advertising. They value the opportunity to make and save money. They will continually seek new Tradebank opportunities even when it means changing suppliers, being flexible in their buying habits, or drive a little further. Client B knows when they communicate with their Tradebank Broker via telephone and email, their Broker will know what they want and be on the lookout for those trading opportunities. Client B views their Tradebank Broker as someone on their “team” working on behalf of their best interest and values that relationship.

Client A can’t understand how other Tradebank clients are able to spend Tradebank Dollars on vehicles, home remodeling and rent when they know the Ford dealership is not part of Tradebank, and neither is Home Depot nor the bank that holds their mortgage.

Client B boasts they can and have purchased almost everything they need through Tradebank. How? Client B tells their Tradebank Broker and every Tradebank client they meet what they are looking for and is willing to approach the potential seller of what they want and initiate the transaction. They post “Wanted” ads the Classifieds on myTradebank.com. They watch what others are selling and what they can buy through Tradebank for themselves or to resell for cash. Client B also understands that they may have to use several Tradebank suppliers on one project. They understand that projects which are labor intensive or extremely time consuming may have to be done in stages. But that’s ok because they ultimately accomplish their objective to save as much cash as possible. When Client B decides they’ve paid enough cash on rent, when their lease expires they find a new location and trading opportunity through Tradebank. When they see someone who is not yet a Tradebank client they want to do business with, they introduce them to their Tradebank Regional Owner and together they create and facilitate the trade arrangement.

Why does Client B approach trading through Tradebank as they do?

The reason is clear: They trade through Tradebank because they appreciate the advantage that they have over their competition in the fact that they have additional sales and profits from a network of customers dedicated to doing business with them through Tradebank on a continuous basis. Furthermore, successful Tradebank clients understand what they are doing, they appreciate why they are doing it and the benefits they receive from being a Tradebank client and continually seek ways to diversify and expand their trading opportunities.

George Nicholes has been a Tradebank client for over a year and knows first hand how beneficial Tradebank is to his business. “Like all business owners, my goal is to get new customers. Tradebank has increased my business by promoting my company to other Tradebank clients who would rather do business with me through Tradebank than spend cash with my competitors,” says Nicholes. Nicholes is the owner of Climate Control Heating and Air Conditioning in Wichita.

“My business philosophy has always been, if you do good work for people, word will spread and you will attract new customers. That’s why I joined Tradebank. I wanted to increase my customer base so that they would assist me in expanding my business by spreading the word about my company to others. On that same note, it is through Tradebank that I met and highly recommend fellow Tradebank client, Gale and Jan Shire, owners of Signs by Shire. They transformed my company vehicle into a moving billboard which gives me additional name

“In My Book, Tradebank Is Best”

recognition and credibility in the marketplace. We never would have had the vehicle wrap graphics done if not for Tradebank. Now, thanks to Tradebank I am able to keep up the image I want to project about my company,” explains Nicholes.

Nicholes was first introduced to Tradebank through another Tradebank client with whom his wife had done business. Image and reputation are very important to Nicholes and he looked at Tradebank as a way to meet new customers. “After I met with George, I knew he would be a wonderful addition to the trading partners here in Wichita and we could help him grow his business,” says John Schott, Regional Co-Owner of Tradebank of Wichita. Schott continues, “George takes care of his customers in a timely and professional manner. The Tradebank clients he has done work for have high praise for his customer service and expertise. George is the type of business owner that we value as a Tradebank client.” Nicholes echos Schott’s sentiments with his thoughts on Tradebank, “I would recommend Tradebank as a viable tool to conserve your cash and also the Tradebank clients I have used have been fantastic. Need new business? Call Tradebank!”

Business communication etiquette is not an option anymore – it is the hallmark of a well run business and a top notch business relationship. There are fundamental courtesies that you expect in all business communication. When you recognize their importance and practice them you will be more effective in your dealings with potential and existing customers.

Email - Not only should you be returning emails in a timely way, but you need to set the context each and every time of why the email is important and what information it is that you want to deliver. In business, be brief, be informational and be gone. Ask others to take the same approach with you. Do not forward an email communication you receive without the permission of the originator of the email.

Cell phones - The ring tones that are available now are fun outside of the office, but not in networking situations, client lunches, etc. When you are in a meeting or with a group of people or especially in public when someone is making a presentation, put your cell phone on vibrate or shut it off all together. Take and make calls when you are with people sparingly. If you need to take or make a call, excuse yourself and then make it brief.

Returning phone calls – We are not sure when it became ok to not return phone calls, but some people act as if it is acceptable. But it is not ok. People who return phone calls are trusted and respected. You do not need to make the calls long. In fact, returning all calls twice a day instead of doing it all day long is a good way to manage your time more appropriately.

Here are some additional ways you communicate and may not recognize as important, but they are:

Handshake - Practice your handshake. Ask a friend to shake hands with you and then ask them to give you feedback. Firm is good. Too strong or too weak is not.

Eye contact - Learn to look at a person when they are speaking.

Body language - 55% of our non verbal communication is our body - watch what your body is saying about you.

Business cards - Have your business cards professional made through Tradebank and have them with you all of the time. Include your name and your area of responsibility within the company, an address, email, telephone number. Make sure everyone on your staff has their own cards.

Holding doors - Opening a door for someone is not just a guy thing anymore. Ladies, if you get to the door first, open it.

Standing and greeting - If you are being introduced, stand, reach out your hand and shake their hand. This is not a gender issue. Women in the workforce can show respect by standing and shaking hands.

Business communication etiquette is a gateway to mastering your business. It may seem simple, but more and more people are NOT practicing the professional courtesies that mean so

much to all of us. When you make a habit of incorporating these techniques into your day to day interactions you will find that others will treat you with greater respect and you will be perceived in a more professional and trustworthy manner resulting in stronger and more profitable business and personal relationships.

Natalie Manor & Associates specialize in working with businesses and individuals to develop powerful, influential and immediate results and successes by improving your business communication and the way you are running your business. They provide you the tools to help you make your business successes happen as you become more clear, confident and effective in all your business dealings.
