| Barter
Increases Sales
CBB markets your company to hundreds
of local businesses and thousands nationally - potential customers,
over and above your daily cash-paying customers. Your company will make
incremental sales because of the demand of the buyers looking for barter
opportunities from within the trade network. Businesses trade to purchase
what they need or want, and pay for them with the additional sales of
their own product or service.
Barter
Improves Cash Flow
There are two main ways
of to increase cash flow - more sales and reduced costs. Barter does
both! Barter allows you to pay for what you need with what you have
- allowing you to preserve working capital for other needs. When you
use barter instead of cash to purchase needed products and services
- you reduce your cash costs by paying for them with revenue generated
by new barter sales. When you purchase something using CBB trade pounds,
it will be paid for with new sales . . . sales that probably would not
have happened without CBB.
Barter
Moves Excess Inventory & Fills Idle Production Time
Every business owner
struggles with the dilemma of what to do with extra inventory or idle
production time. When you join CBB, barter provides a tool to put that
excess to use in profitable ways. We accomplish this by matching your
product or service with businesses looking to purchase them on trade.
It's a win-win situation.
Barter
Provides a Competitive Edge
CBB participants patronise
your establishment over the competition, because your CBB affiliation
is an incentive to do business with you. Barter attracts new customers
to your business, without affecting the existing cash sales already
being generated by your company.
Barter
Means New Cash Sales
That's not a misprint -
yes, we said cash sales. If you perform a good job for an CBB client,
they'll refer their cash-paying friends, clients, family and associates
to you. In addition you can structure your account to accept a percentage
in trade pounds and the balance in £sterling. The percentage in trade
pounds is the incentive to trade with you and the balance in £sterling
is additional NEW cash business.
Barter
Means No Bad Debts
CBB trading takes the hassle out
of collections. When you make a barter sale to an CBB client, you call
in advance for authorisation to verify that your client (the buyer)
has the trade pounds to pay for their purchase from you. Then, upon
order completion or delivery, a simple signed transaction slip submitted
to CBB will confirm the transfer of funds. It's that simple.
Barter
Means Wholesale Buying Power
With barter, the real cost of
the products you purchase on trade is actually the wholesale cost of
your trade pounds earned. Making sales with built-in profits makes the
cost of your purchases more economical on trade. When you join CBB,
you open the door to a new, cash-free way of handling every day business
and personal expenses.
Barter
Means Increased Profitability
With CBB, added profits are realised by participating businesses,
because of the new customers barter provides. Sellers in a trade network
make incremental barter sales (over and above their cash business) and
increased sales mean increased profits.
Barter
Makes Record-Keeping Easy
CBB works like a bank, providing
control, record keeping, and administration for your barter activities.
Direct trading often becomes cumbersome at record-keeping time. With
CBB's convenient clearinghouse concept, there's no need to keep track
of the pounds traded. CBB uses state-of-the-art technology to track
all of your barter sales and purchases with an easy-to-read itemised
monthly statement. Plus, the Member Website and 24/7 Auto Broker Line
