How GBC Barter Works for a Web Company

How would you like to save $5,000 in cash? Karen runs a website hosting and design firm. She has been spending about $5,000 a year in computer service and software products—cash she spends out of pocket. When she joined GBC, she began trading design and hosting using downtime between jobs and hosting services, earning well over $5,000 – now traded with a computer company that belonged to GBC. She was able to turn her idle time into buying power and get the service and products she needed to compete effectively without spending a penny out of pocket.

Don’t forget, when you purchase goods and services from GBC with your trade dollars, your basis is zero. What is a day of new design projects worth when the clock strikes five? Zero! What does hosting cost you out of pocket? Same answer. When you’ve bought a new computer or had one serviced using GBC trade dollars, you’re getting what you needed for almost nothing.

Who doesn’t want to save cash? Who doesn’t want to purchase goods and services for cents on the dollar?  If the outlay is your cost of goods or unused time and labor, but you are trading for full retail price, you are getting a tremendous bargain. Unsellable inventory or unbillable downtime (net losses) is converted into purchase power. It’s not long before you grasp the amazing potential of GBC membership: buying what you need for cents on the dollar, increasing your business exponentially through new customers and conserving your cash resources!
