When ever you are contemplating making a purchase from a new vendor you should always ask the question, “How much of this can we do on barter?”

Suggest a direct trade if you see the possibility, if not, then introduce them to your trade exchange so you can make your purchases with trade dollars.

In short, one of the considerations in your purchasing decision should be their willingness to trade! Consider all aspects of a purchase: price, quality, terms, speed of delivery, freight, technical support and payment in barter.

You should be using barter in the daily operations of your business…
