Like many of our clients, I too, started out as a BarterPay member. Dan doing what he does, recruited me to join BarterPay for my restaurant Bridges Bistro. I have to tell you that when I agreed to join BarterPay I had no idea what I was getting into. Initially I didn’t understand how it would be helpful for my business. It didn’t take long for new customers to come into my restaurant and I noticed a regular BarterPay clientele that supported me. Now I had Barter Credits, and I wondered what to do? Enter the BARTER COACH! The coach who was working for Dan at the time informed me of advertising opportunities and she connected me to a printer where I could get my menu printed. She was a good coach, she was starting to build relationships with the clients, but unfortunately she didn’t stick it out at the BarterPay office.
One day Dan pops by and we’re talking about BarterPay and how he could use some help building the network. My husband Chris and I joined Dan for an orientation and learned some more about BarterPay from the president John Porter himself. The buzz at the BarterPay office, really captured me. Hundreds of businesses were actively bartering that day, purchasing goods and services without spending money. How Awesome!! I was hooked.
I joined Dan in the office in 2013. Since then I have assisted our BarterPay members to purchase everything from dental care, to advertising, web design, restaurant meals, hotel rooms, bookkeeping services, snow removal and so much more. . I’ve recently sold my restaurant and BarterPay is what I do now! I couldn’t be happier! Every day I get to assist business owners gain new business and save on their bottom line.
