From
the “NEW GUY” in town (Chuck
Archer):
I would like to take
this opportunity to say Hello, and say thanks to all
of our members for making me feel so welcome.
As they say in Texas, I’m not from here, but
I got here as quick as I could.
I
have had the privilege of meeting several of you, and
look forward to meeting and getting to know every
member of Central Barter Bank, and learning more
about your business, so I can assist you in
identifying the opportunities to BARTER more, and
keep your CASH.
It
is my goal to take Central Barter Bank to a new
level, and we have a great start at doing that.
We
plan to:
First:
Bring our membership to 300 by January 2005.
Second: Create more reciprocal accounts with other barter companies
throughout the country, so members can use their
barter money across the country.
Our first priority will be to obtain the
products in Houston, and Texas.
However we will have the capability to satisfy
needs on a national level.
Third: We will be hiring office staff to assist you with your
accounts.
Fourth: Communication, Communication, and Communication.
I have to know your Needs, Wants, and Wishes
in order to broker those transactions for you. A NEED is something you have to have right away, WANTS
are products or services you would like to have as
soon as possible, and WISHES are Products or services
that you would purchase if you could get them on
barter.
I
can use your assistance to take Central Barter Bank
to the level that it can and will be!
Please take a few minutes and make me a list
with needs, wants, wishes, products you wish to move,
services you have to offer, and any referrals you may
have to help me accomplish my job. E-Mail me at centralbarter@yahoo.com.
Or fax to 713-339-4675. I am available by
phone between 8 A.M. through 6 P.M. Monday through
Friday at 281-642-7952. Voice mail is always
available at this number, and is checked daily.
“MAKE A LIST
MAKE A LIST”
I
work off a priority list. For instance, if I have
twenty members asking for hardwood floors, and one
member asking for a dog trainer, the hardwood floors
take priority. Meanwhile I am still looking for a dog
trainer.
The
approach that I take when bringing on new business
owners, is partially determined by request, from
present members. That way I am offering these new
members immediate business. This gives me the
leverage and the buying power to offer the new
member, business today.
The
best approach in expediting the growth of Central
Barter Bank is having the ability to meet your
requests. To further assist me in making this happen,
your referrals open doors and lend visibility to our
bank and your business. If you are aware of any
business owner, looking to increase their business,
make me aware of their name and phone number, so that
I may contact them and add them to our member base.
In appreciation, we offer a $100.00 trade referral
fee for each of your referrals that open an account
with Central Barter Bank.
In
closing thanks for your time and assistance for the
task at hand. I wish you all great health and wealth.
From my desk to yours
Chuck Archer
