Barter, A Growing and Profitable Opportunity
Barter today is a multi-billion dollar business being used profitably by several hundred thousand business people.
Despite its growing popularity and use, barter is still overlooked by many entrepreneurs.
If you are not taking advantage of barter, you are missing the opportunity for increased customers, sales and profits.
So why, if it is so good, does the concept get swept away by so many? In years of talking barter with those in the market place, I have found that, among the many answers to the question, those that stand out as most common are; " My father never did it, why should I?", " All that really matters is the US dollar.
", "I can't get anything that I want", "My cost is too high.
", "I need the cash.
", "I don't see how it is a benefit or good fit for me.
" The list goes on.
Let's address these objections.
1.
" My father never did it, why should I?" Times change and we must change with the times, especially in this economy.
