You are currently paying for things you can buy cheaper by trading. You are probably among those businesspeople that have a low wholesale price in acquiring products that are designed to sell at an often high retail price. It is your low cost of purchasing products to resell that gives you great opportunities in trading. The starting point is to look at some of the things you buy with cash. Some of it or much of it can be bought with trade, thus reducing your cost of buying and saving your cash.

When trading and using the proposal forms and strategies in the eManual for Using Private Trade Dollars, you will find trading is a lot easier than making a cash sale and that the time it will take to complete a trade is small compared to cash marketing. Look at the example of the trade proposal form (for faxing, mailing, emailing, or hand delivering) and you will quickly see how easy it can be to arrange a trade right from your home to buy products and services and save your cash. For example, suppose you need the services of an attorney; you would select the names of three or four attorneys in your area and send them off a trading proposal. There is a very good chance at least one of them will agree to a trade. If your own wholesale cost of product is 25% of regular retail and the attorney's fees are normally $200 per hour. This enables you to save 75% of the normal cash cost of the attorney. The attorney, on the other hand, likely has time available not being used in the cash economy and gives you legal services during that down time. In effect, the attorney gets your products at virtually no cash cost and has every incentive to trade with you. Once we fully grasp the fact that the Private Trade Dollar System trading, being new business for both parties and giving both parties cash savings, we will see its power.
