No other business has more opportunity to create buying power through barter than manufacturing. It's like skipping two tiers of mark up – the wholesaler and the retailer – and keeping that revenue for yourself because you're selling at consumer prices. In addition, the cost of producing one more product is virtually nil, as it's overhead you would pay anyway during production. Many manufacturers can generate tremendous trade income and turn it into big-ticket items like real estate, cars, and luxury items.
It also means you're buying what you need with trade dollars that cost much less than an actual dollar. Think about it: the “widgets” you would have sold to a wholesaler who then sold to a retailer are traded for the final consumer price. A wholesale order for $5,000 can be bartered for $20,000 or more in trade dollars! You're buying any subsequent items on trade for much, much less than actual cost.
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're trading for full retail price, you're getting a tremendous bargain. Unsellable inventory or unbillable downtime (net losses) are converted into purchase power. It won't be long before you grasp the amazing potential of PBE membership: buying what you need for cents on the dollar, increasing your business exponentially through new customers, and conserving your cash resources!
