What Problem Are You Solving?

Despite the numerous products and services for sale in today's expanding barter marketplace, members of a trade exchange like all consumers, will exchange their hard-earned trade dollars for only two reasons: either to feel good or to solve a problem.
 
To put it in a more personal perspective, your customers don't buy what your company sells … they buy what those goods or services do for them.
 

  • They don't purchase clothes. They purchase a sharp appearance, style and attractiveness.

  • They don't buy insurance. They buy peace of mind and a comfortable future for their family and themselves.

  • They don't buy a house. They buy contentment, a long-term investment and pride of ownership.
     
  • They don't buy a book. They buy pleasant hours of reading and the profits of knowledge.
     
  • They don't purchase toys. They purchase happy moments for their children and grandchildren.
     
  • They don't buy a computer. They buy the pleasures of having the most updated technology.
     
  • They don't buy airline tickets. They buy the comfort and convenience of a fast, safe, on-time arrival at a destination feeling like a million dollars.
     

What does the average consumer buy? Ideas, good feelings, self-respect, comfort and happiness — those are the things they want.

Cashflow Can Be A Constant Problem For Small Companies

According to David Birch, a gazelle is a company that has a minimum of $100,000 in revenues and manages to grow at least 20% over a four-year period. Only 3% of all companies have accomplished this demanding task.  Birch, who is credited with hatching the notion that small rather than large companies are the engines of job creation, says that a small company views profitability as variable and quite flexible. But cashflow is a constant issue because of fixed expenses and overhead, such as payroll and rent.
 
Positive cashflow equals business survival. But not all cashflow is due to good management, and not all of it will help you survive either. Accordingly, if you find that you have extra cash at the end of the month, follow this five-step strategy:

  1. Determine the source of the your positive cashflow.
     
  2. Project future cashflow.
     
  3. Establish priorities for the cashflow.
     
  4. Research viable strategies and opportunities to generate more cashflow.
     
  5. Choose the best strategy for your business and stick with it.

After all is said and done, positive cashflow comes from only four sources: new debt, new investment, sale of fixed assets, and operations. The first three are limited. So if the fourth source, operations, doesn't kick in, then sooner or later your creditors pull the plug.
 
Make it your goal to go after one of the best sources for new cashflow — working with your trade exchange counselor to cover more of your company's business expenses with trade dollars.
 

David Birch has a degree in applied physics and engineering from Harvard. He spent his early career at NASA, working on the Hubble Space Telescope and the Mariner space program. In 1983, Birch started Cognetics, subsequently renamed Arc Analytics — a research and consulting firm in Waltham (MA).
