Trade Smart Now Network is a third party record keeper of barter transactions. We host a network of business owners who see the value of using barter as a business strategy – which means that they will “buy” and “sell” their goods and services to each other on a barter basis.
Trade Smart Now Network will assist you in finding appropriate “buyers” for your business excess, what ever that may be. Our staff focus is on improving your profit margins via barter. We encourage our members to look towards barter as an alternative currency.
Our network connects thousands of business owners and professionals on a daily basis, all across the United States. While we do have a physical office – barter networks these days are internet based, so barter transactions are literally unlimited.
Trade Smart Now Network uses a system of “trade credits” that have a dollar based value. When you sell a product or service, your barter account will be credited in trade credits with the sales price and in turn – the buyer’s account will be debited. We work much like a bank. Once you have trade credits in your account, you may then spend the trade credits with other members in the network.
There are several keys to successful bartering; however the most important is contact with the Trade Directors in our office. They will help you navigate through our system and keep you apprised of the available products and services.
Our members are business owners and professionals who are serious about barter. The criteria for membership is as follows:
- We ask that our members be in business at least two years
- We require that our members own a profitable business; with a reasonable profit margin – so that barter actually makes sense and works for them as a viable business strategy
- We ask that our members agree to barter at least $12,000.00 per year
The Trade Smart Now Network is a barter organization – not a discount club. Therefore, we ask that our members barter the full and fair retail pricing of their products and services.
While there are many barter clubs, exchanges and networks all over the world and hundreds of thousands of business owners that barter – the Trade Smart Now Network remains one of the few that place a criterion on membership and quite frankly – that’s smart. Barter is not a panacea and is not for everyone. Trade Smart Now Network is the place for the deal makers.
